Does Speeding Really Get You There Any Faster?

(Click on the image for the Lifehacker article)
My trip to babysit my grandson who lives in Bethesda is about 50 miles, one way. So, driving the speed limit of 55 MPH takes me about 55 minutes. If I speed at 65 MPH, the trip would take about 46 minutes saving me about 8 minutes (if I don’t get stopped for speeding or have an accident).
Is the 8 minute saving worth the risk? Do I get there more relaxed and attentive if I don't speed?
