    Also establishes expectations. Every on the highway knows what the expected speed is. Going 30 in a 65 is way more dangerous than doing 75 when conditions allow.

      But doing 55 in a 65 isn’t unreasonable, and 95 is pretty fast and at that speed handling can become difficult on cheap or poorly maintained cars.

      There are also conditions where 30 is what you’ll do on a highway if its a blizzard and you’re stuck behind a plow truck.
