That would be fine and dandy if most speed limits (in the US at least) were assigned intelligently and not just according to the 85th percentile, which just measures how fast people actually drive down the road, and assumes anything in the top 15% is unsafe and should therefore be illegal
Completely agreed, now we have to get the entire population on board. I don’t want to be trying to swerve around drivers going slower than the traffic around, and I don’t want people swerving around me all bloody day. Both of those are vastly more dangerous than simple speed. Drive the road conditions, which includes the speed of traffic around you.

Its still find and dandy for us all to slow down to below the 85th percentile. Especially cars.
