Since we know that the 55 mile per hour speed limit saves lives and gasoline, try to find reasons the speed limit on interstate highways has been set to 65 miles per hour and above in most states

What will be an ideal response?


Most people are in a hurry to get where they're going. They tend to underestimate
the risk of accident (see Chs. 20 and 26). The interstate roads are thought to be (and are,
relatively) safer. Politicians were under pressure to raise the speed limit and reduce the
number of traffic tickets.
