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.
Thank you.

zulutango knows first hand with regards to traffic authority/and speed limits etc..... but then again, there are also people who argue with doctors, dentists, lawyers, and others about their respective professions...
