Reasons to increase speed limits: 1) my convenience is worth more than others' safety 2) we actually all hate driving and want it over as soon as possible 3) the sooner I get to that red light, the more time I can spend on my phone 4) keep paramedics employed 5) maybe people have to pee real bad idk
