If I look at how the majority of people drive on our highways, even the ones who actually stay at the speed limits, I do not want some amped up yuppy doing 240 on a highway.
Speedsters have this "I'm faster so I have right of way" attitude, they get frustrated if someone is driving at the speed limit, they throw a fit and do stupid things and boom they drive into a ****ing car while changing lanes.
I don't care how good a driver you are, at 240 if someone suddenly swerves in front of you to try and dodge something, you're ****ed. It's not always possible to see how fast someone in your rear view mirror is driving, at least if you know there's a limit of 120 you have an idea of how much time you have to change lanes.
This is not just a taxi thing, it's a human thing. People will sometimes cut you off, you have a much better chance of avoiding an accident at 120 than 240
