I can't imagine it will pass, Noah makes a couple excellent points. Imagine trying to pass a slower vehicle on a two lane road and the passing lane is only a given distance (and there is opposite direction traffic you have thread between). Ten mph over the limit is not going to get you safely around the vehicle, especially if it's a tractor trailer.

The government has mandated a lot of additional safety technology in vehicles over the last 30 years. Some, like ABS has been very beneficial.

But now there is so much hi tech equipment crammed into a new car that it makes repairing what was a simple fender bender extremely expensive - one of the (many) reasons auto insurance is getting insanely expensive. At some point Govt needs to realize they're making vehicle ownership cost prohibitive.
