- bsder 10y agoDid you even read the report, or did you simply pull a summary? The numbers are all over the map and the P values look hacked to generate a paper. In addition, if you look at the fatality and injury numbers for urban interstate they went down for 65MPH and up for 55mph and 75mph. That makes no sense. Basically, the statistics are sufficiently close to a wash that the confounding factors (like texting or rerouting due to more convenience) matter more than the speed limit.
