    Clickbait, no new info here. Driving the old “reduce speed limits” rhetoric again. As cars get safer speeds should be going up, especially on long roads where fatigue is the biggest cause of crashes

      As cars get safer speeds should be going up

      Unfortunately, cars are getting less safe, not safer.

      For other road users, anyway.

        Implying increasing speed increases deaths? This has been studied to death, increasing speed limits on long roads would reduce deaths. No need to make a strawman

            There’s an accumulating decrease in crashes due to

            A) less time on road

            B) compounded with less fatigue

            I’m on mobile so I can’t pull studies up rn
