The highest speed limit in the United States is 85 mph.
Can anyone explain to me why basically every car and truck driven in the US can go faster than that on any public roadway? (Freedom is not an acceptable answer.)
@Pflax1 Think about it like this:
A car capable of going 140 will travel at 85 in a safer way without damaging itself, limiting the car would also be prejudicial to per example, medical emergencies.
