It does, but the real reason I feel speed limits are set so low (other than
revenue grabs by the local po-leece) is to protect the elderly, women, and
other incompetent drivers who'd otherwise get killed from the temptation
of higher speeds. Now, these rolling obstacles can take solace in the
fact that the speed they can best handle is the legal maximum.
