Just drove up north last weekend up I-75. Back when the speed limit was 70, most people would head up going 75-80, which is perfectly safe on most of the freeway. Now that the speed limit is 75, most people were going.. 75-80.

The increased speed limit isn't so much to let people go faster, than accepting the fact that most people are driving that fast anyway. If some idiot is going 75 at night through a snow storm, they can still get a ticket for reckless driving.
