We can actually see what will happen if we look south. Speed limits on US highways have been increasing over the last 10 years and this is accompanied by increased motor vehicle fatalities.
per IIHS:
“Raising speed limits leads to more deaths.”...
I would propose to add Ryan Getzlaf to the list. Will be over 1000 career points soon and still going strong! Not many players with that kind of stying power.
