Should they be increased? It depends on where you live, of course, but in general speed limits seem to be too low.
I got a speeding ticket during my trip through NZ, but I don't think my speed was unsafe. The road was long and straight, and the weather was fine. The speed limit was 100 kph (about 62 mph) and I was doing 118 kph (about 73 mph). It seems to me that low speed limits are more of a revenue gathering exercise than anything to do with safety.
