I don't want to start an argument here, just a discussion. It's all about numbers, people. Look at it this way: Hi, my name is Bob and I'm a truck driver. I have 500 miles to go until I reach my destination and sack out, because I'm tired. I can drive 55 MPH and get there in 9 hours and 6 minutes, OR I can drive 75 MPH and make it to my destination in 6 hours and 24 minutes. which do you think is going to be safer for the other drivers?
Now I love to save gas and money, but have you ever calculated how much time is worth? Nine hours is a long drive, man. Six and a half is much more manageable. Nuff said.
