I feel that most of us on a daily basis go about 10-15 over the speed-limit for all speed limits. Only in ideal situations do we go 90-100 on the freeway or open highway in the middle of the desert, alone on the road. I think tickets should begin at at least 15-20 over. Anything should be able to be justified.

honestly I feel the reason the limits have not been raised here is due to the cops not writing anyone until they are 10+ over. on the highway typically I see people only getting popped at 15+ over.
so if that would continue after a limit raise then yes I could see where raiding to 85 and people doing 95+ is an issue for most drivers.
honestly most drivers are not very skilled lol
but with ideal traffic conditions going a bit over I see no issue with if one is capable of doing so and ok with risking a ticket.
just did a 1600 mile round trip and 1/2 of the way down at very late hours I was the only car on my side of the road. warm dry conditions I went about 95 avg. no issues.
