Ohya,bailout,I forgot to mention,you would also gain more then 20% in time,actual time,like a 100min trip,would become 75min to 80min trip.Time is money to alot of people that have long trips to work,and travel alot.Wouldnt you like to have more time to live aswell,and dont try to come back with some,speed is dangerous shit.

As for the safety of speed the math speaks for itself. Allow me to use Einstein's formula for Kinetic Energy (KE): ![]() where m = mass of object and v = velocity (speed) of object When a vehicle collides with something its kinetic energy must be transferred or expended. The less KE there is to dump the better off anyone and anything involved is. However, my slowing down has much more to do with emissions and fuel economy than safety. The physics of air change above 55 MPH and again above 70 MPH, becoming more resistant the faster you go.
