If the highest speed limit is 60 why make cars go any faster than 60-70 at most?

A car that could only go 60mph tops would have worse performance across the board which can actually be a safety issue as well as just being a pain to drive. It’s like why evelvators can easily carry much more weight than they’d ever realistically need too. It makes them more reliable and sturdy and outright more safe because they are never operating at the height of their capabilities. Same thing can be said of cars. Sometimes you need to accelerate quickly and being able to do so can be the difference between a crash and a near miss. A car that could only go 60 would also be constantly struglling at lower speeds which wouldnt fair well for the reliablity and longevity of said car. Also there are legit scenarios where traveling higher than the speed limit is pretty normal like driving in the fast lane on a highway. Better to have it and not need it than the opposite.
