Ever hear someone say that going faster than others is not worth it?

Ever hear someone say that its only a few minutes and so we do not
need to increase speed limits any?

I did some crude estimates. If we could speed up interstate speed
limits to 70 and 80 in this area, and if we could increase secondary
roads by 5, 10 and 15 mph, the total time saved per day could be as
much as 30 minutes for the average person. 

Calculating this over a lifetime of say 60 years of driving, this is
like living for 7.5 years of those 60 years without one second of free
time to ourselves, if we exclude working, sleeping, eating, bathing,
dressing, doing chores, etc. Put another way, its like losing 7.5
years of your life on the road, if we exclude the above things.

So the line about how we are only saving a few minute and its not
worth it is total bull. Its conjured up by some dummies who think they
have all the time in the world, when life expectancy is only around
75.
