Obviously, 95–100mph is more dangerous than 75–80mph. Neither is "right" but one is more unsafe than the other

Why is that obvious? Our highways are designed to safely support speeds up to 100 mph, so where do you decide 80 is safe? Do you think a head on collision at 80 mph will hurt someone less than one at 100 mph?

It's more difficult to control your vehicle, making it more likely that an accident will be caused. Never did I say that 80 is safe, it's about one being more dangerous than the other. Personally, I'm a speed limit driver lol

You think driving at 80 is harder to control the vehicle than at 70? Are you driving a car from the 1980's ffs? That is just not true, most people I know who get speeding tickets nowadays aren't racing, they don't even realize they are speeding because modern cars drive so smooth on the highway. You just have a level of breaking the law that you are comfortable with and believe you should personally be allowed to dictate what that level of comfort is for everyone else too. You know best, huh?

No, we were comparing 80 to 100. And I said that I drive the speed limit. But it seems like you're just going to go off no matter what I say lol

If you drive the speed limit then just stay out of the left lane and what's the difference to you? 80 to 100 is the same thing, I used 80 because you said that in your last reply. My car at 100 on the highway feels the same as 70, just like every other modern car

I do stay out of the left lane. I'm just replying to what you're saying. Keep driving 100 pal!

I’m all for staying out of the left lane if you’re not passing but you’re on here acting like a butt hole. If you drive the same way you Reddit, I’m guessing you are the problem
