I've lived in Texas and Oregon, spent a lot of time in Florida and Arizona. My gut feel is that the places where people drive aggressively and past the speed limit are less safe and the data seems to back that. https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/local_rural/rural_fatal.cfm https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/local_rural/rural_fatal.cfm I've never felt unsafe by driving the speed limit where others want to go faster in my life, except perhaps by narcissists losing their mind about having to wait a moment to pass.
