I think what you're seeing is that most people know that up to 10mph over the limit is pretty safe in regards to getting a speeding ticket. That's separate from how fast they think is safe on the freeway in general from a physical standpoint. If there were no limits posted, they'd go even faster. So basically I'm saying that both you and the parent poster are both correct. It's just that more than just physical safety is being taken into account.

The claim that the average speed at which people drive depends on the speed limit, and the claim that it does not, cannot both be correct.

  They're both correct, or both wrong, in that both of their reasonings are correct in having a noticeable effect on thd outcome, while their conclusion may not be.
