Safe Speeds?

Is there a "safe way" or "safe speed" to "speed" on the interstate or any non-residential/city/town road? Basically, is it safe(on a normal day-perfect weather) to go 70 mph on an interstate that says 65 mph? Aside from the fact you don't want to get pulled over-are there any reasons not to go 5 mph(and 5 mph ONLY!) over the speed limit? Will those 5 mph make much of a difference in a crash?

What about going too slow? This would be more of an accident waiting to happen, right?

 

Thanks!!

 

TCSS!

And I'm guessing that is in regards to dept vehicles and a response vs someone just toodling along in their own POV?
