What's engineering got to do with it? Maximum speed limits are set by law, not by science. Heck, sometimes road engineers push for higher speed limits. http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2011/09/be-...

Sounds like somebody likes to sit in the left lane at 65, "because it's the legal maximum!"
