You're saying that the average traffic speed on the Parkway is 79 MPH? That hasn't been my experience. I'd say the average is 70-75, with fast drivers going 80. The speed limit is 65 where the accident was.

If you are saying that they were traveling about 12 MPH faster than the fastest traffic on the road, then I agree with you. But I think they were going about 15-20 mph faster than the average traffic speed on that road.

Not at all, in NJ the left lane is doing 80 and the right/center lane doing 74/5 unless it's rush hour or there's something going on like an accident, holiday surge or police presence.
