    Unless there is traffic, most drivers tend to go around 80mph.

    And they aren’t constantly getting into accidents? Wild. Someone should tell the politicians that this might not be the source of the problem.

      Nope. The major freeways in California are giant 8 lane straight lines. You could drive 100 mph on them and be perfectly safe. You can see 5 miles ahead of you, and there are no curves or anything to fuck you up. The 65 mph speed limit is just there so that they can write speeding tickets whenever they want more money.
