Update: Statisitcs

Found it. Ironically enough, there is a lot of bluster about speeding being very dangerous, etc., but no indication, except for a reference to another report that increased speeds may have increased the fatality rate by 35%, that increased speeds is actually a problem. There's a lot of 'concern'. For example, concern that strides made in vehicle safety and DUI crackdowns "might be" offset by speeding.

Of course, we go back to the fact that, per mile driven, fatality rates are at an all time low.

Really, the report is fairly information-free. It's truly a basic survey of speed enforcement practices across the fifty states. All conclusions are, as far as I can tell, in the mind of the beholder.
