Just because our cars are faster doens't mean our reaction time is. I believe that speed limits should be increased by 10 mph(everyone goes that fast anyways) but no more than that.
Yes, because we can decrease the number of accidents and deaths
no, there will be more accidents
I don't see any benefit to it.
no
In the UK the speed limit comes into force as soon as you pass the speed limit sign. As such the distance is zero as you should have slowed down to the posted speed limit before passing the sign.
As of today (June 11, 2013), the speed limit was raised to 65 for cars, 45 for trucks. Previously, the limit was 55/35.
Changing the speed limit should be considered based on factors like road conditions, traffic flow, and safety data. Conducting a thorough evaluation and consulting with traffic engineers and local authorities can help determine if a change is necessary to improve safety and efficiency on the road.
If they are doing the speed limit, there should be no reason to pass them. If you are exceeding the speed limit to pass someone, you could get a ticket particularly if they are exceeding the speed limit.

Studies have shown that raising speed limits can lead to an increase in traffic fatalities. However, the relationship between speed limits and death rates is complex and influenced by various factors such as enforcement, driver behavior, and road conditions. It is important to consider the overall impact on road safety before making conclusions about the effects of raising speed limits on death rates.
The speed limit is exactly that - the speed limit. While a reasonable excess of speed might be overlooked when overtaking another vehicle, there is no guarantee. You can be pulled over and cited for speeding, still.
The average speed of any car should be the posted speed limit.
