I drive at or slightly below the speed limit on my way home from work every night (about 15 miles worth of highway) in my black Jeep, and I haven't once had an issue with someone almost running into me.

You claim that people are oblivious....so what makes you think that a lower speed limit will correct that? They will still be oblivious, no matter what the posted sign says. If they are going to do 80 in a 65 zone and almost hit others that are only doing 65....what makes you think that they won't be doing 70 in a 55 and almost hitting all the people doing 55?
