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.

I hear what your saying JW and tend to agree but you're not going to change anybody's mind on this board so I wouldn't try.
Like with a car, a little extra power would help maneuver around slower carts, joggers and bicycles quicker therefore making it safer to pass.
