it's hard for me to see how this would be more safe. sometimes safety is best served by exceeding the speed limit. this is actually not uncommon. for example, a semi has pulled up next to me on the interstate and a turn is coming up. there is a car right behind me so I can't just hit the brakes and let the truck pull ahead. I really don't want to be right next to a semi during the turn, so I quickly accelerate past it.

I think that might be skewing GP's view. Losing the ability to change the limit or (dis)engage at will makes the feature practically useless too, considering the various speed limit zones one goes through in one drive -- not to mention dynamic speed limits based on weather and other conditions.
