Cars may be better engineered for higher speed, but the drivers aren't.
Number one the math is wrong. 60 mph is one mile per minute, so 8 minutes @ 67mph, so that would be around 7 minutes 43 seconds, to get through forever.... And number two, please tell me who is not doing doing over 70mph on RT 93? I drive that road all the time and if I do 75mph I get passed constantly. Matter of fact going through the new rolling tolls yesterday at Hooksett, I slowed to 65 and at least ten people went whizzing by like I had stopped. That straight stretch right north of the Hooksett toll is where people really start stretching their legs. I followed a guy towing a boat at 80mph on Saturday. 70 is nothing compared to how people drive already, even with a 65 speed limit.
