Guy is either an idiot who has just learnt a single "fact" or, probably more likely, doesn't want to give other factors or discussions the time of day, in case they don't fit with the conclusion he wants.
Makes me wonder what speed drivers would drive if there were no limits. What would others feel comfortable with on motorways, for example (assuming good conditions)?
