"You're also overlooking the fact that raising the speed limit by x amount does not automatically equate to drivers travelling at x+10.":


Not my experience. 80k zone raised to 90...the normal 90's jumped to 100-110. 90k zone raised to 100 and normal 100 jumped to 110 to 120. Hwy 19 on VI from 1991 to 2008. Raise the limit and people will still drive the same margin of whatever they choose above the new limit.
