Lets not go by any studies conducted by the Aussies. The smartest guy in the country still only has an IQ of 9.

Based on a quick read, I would tend to agree. Having said that, however, you'd end up with "escalation." Up speed limits now to get safer drivers. Once people get comfortable with the new speed, the effects of the "increasded enodcrine reaction" will be blunted. Then you'd have to raise limits again. (Not sure how long that would take.) The cycle would go on until you reached speed "limits" of super-sonic. Of course, by then maybe we'll actually have jet-cars. (More likely they'll be "human-proof" auto-autos.)

I don't see the downside to this "escalation" you mention ;)

Seriously though, maybe if the speed limits were upped a tad you would have people concentrating on driving and not on their phones, mackup, coffee, 5 course meal, paper, book, changing their soggy iPad, etc.

Wow, this is a scam!

Web-based tricksters are building up a media frenzy calling for higher speed limits in Australia.

http://smh.drive.com.au/motor-news/speed-scammers-stir-up-media-storm-20110209-1amaf.html

The group calls itself HighRoad Automotive Research and uses anagrams of Top Gear presenters as authors for a research paper it has published online.

The paper - penned by a bogus research team including authors Jeremy James, Clark Hammond and Richard Mayson - suggests that encouraging speeding on our roads makes for better drivers.

Canadian studies have disproved this as well

In general driving against traffic (too fast or too slow) is what kills (but if you read the study you see this is a VERY small %, most fatalities have other causes such as fatigue or alcohol)
