It does make a difference, especially around pedestrians.
“Speeding accounts for nearly one-third of all fatalities on our roads and puts everyone at risk, including people in other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and people with disabilities,” Acting Administrator Carlson said.

Feel free to click on the link in my comment. In there, there’s even a link to the data they draw the conclusions from.
Ah, so what you’re saying is because the lumber industry and government propagandized the dangers of marijuana in order to help subjugate people of color and to keep hemp from competing with the wood market, this study can’t be true.
Super interesting take.
Its super brave of you to point to a conspiracy where the safety administrations and healthcare experts collude to lie in a study. What for? To get people to drive slower, which puts them at odds with the oil industry (driving slower uses less gas)? To have less people inured, putting them at odds with big healthcare? To put them at odds with the very states and cities who thrive off of ticket revenue?
Right, going 5/10/15 even 20 over isn’t going to make much of a difference especially on a highway.
Most road speed limits are set too low anyways because old people constantly complain to the city about them.
That being said, the fucks that are going fucking 60 in a 25 are absolutely being reckless regardless of how much they’re paying attention

Pedestrians are especially but not exclusively susceptible to cars and speed differences, but all persons involved in accidents fare worse with increased speeds. https://news.ua.edu/2005/11/ua-traffic-safety-study-shows-relationship-between-speed-and-deaths/ it’s a bit older, but it says chances of fatality double every additional 10mph over 35.
The comment above specifically mentioned highways. You specifically mentioned pedestrians, and it was the main topic of your comment.
It’s two very different scenarios and I was only addressing one of them.
From the people who brought you
“Pot causes you to become skitzo”
Now!
“All speed limits should be 35 or lower!”

Help me connect the dots like you see it
You also antivax and believe the moon landing is fake? Maybe cut down on the pot, especially if you’re driving above 35.
