Think about how you will feel if you have an accident while speeding.. I know you are perfect and it's no problem right? Wrong!. I suggest you talk to a highway poiceman he/she will set you straight.

You would have a valid point if we were all beginner drivers and I was going through driver's ed. However I don't take corners at 25 mph, not even at 19 mph. Top speeds are for long straight stretches of roadway. Accidents happen mostly when turns are involved. If someone has been driving 45 years without an accident, then I would consider the fact they could handle a golf cart at 25 mph and would have enough logic to know to slow down for turns and encounters with other vehicles.
Why would I feel bad for having an accident at 25 but not at 19 mph? Because 25 is considered speeding, how about 20, is that considered speeding, or 22? I would be upset at any speed, even 10 mph. When driving your car on I-75 do you still drive 55? Remember that was the speed limit until it was changed to 70.
