Stopping distances increase disproportionately with faster speeds, 
for example:

• 20 mph = 40 feet
• 40 mph = 120 feet
• 60 mph = 240 feet

• Speeding reduces ability to steer around curves or avoid objects in the road.
• The number of crashes go down when people drive at the posted limit.

Did you know that passenger cars use approximately 50% more fuel at 75mph than at 55mph?  And pollutants increase by up to 100% at 65mph vs. 55mph?
