Several studies have shown that speed doesn't kill, it's the difference of relative speeds between vehicles that cause most accidents. Like on I-696 in Detroit. Everybody goes 80 to 90 MPH. Is it more dangerous than other nearby interstates? No. BTW, the nickname for I-696 between Mt. Clemens and Southfield is "the autobahn" LOL.
