I've read both of your links, and both fail to address one scenario and a question regarding it:
If EVERYONE is driving 80 mph, is it more dangerous to be the one person deciding to drive 65 mph?
Most studies and statistics either focus on speed alone OR being the ONE person driving 80 while everyone else is driving 65.
Speed differential increases the frequency of crashes, and overall speed makes crashes worse. I posit that the best crash is the one that doesn't happen, so reducing the frequency of a crash by going with the flow of traffic is the safer option.
