The 55 mph limit has one troublesome effect -- it keeps cars on the road
longer.

During rush hours it is impossible to maintain the 2-second cushion that
we should.  We have to watch three or four cars ahead in order to react in
time.

So what does the reduced speed do?  It keeps cars on the road longer, results
in saturation longer, and forces drivers to endure more fatigue for longer
periods.

Yes, there are holes in the above argument.  Let's hear some discussions of
the holes!
