I really don't understand why this keeps coming up. Perhaps it's whenever one of our lead footed Astro friends gets a ticket!
The reality is the slower the speed limit the safer things are basic physics. You stop quicker hit things with less force. That fact also is the death toll has halved in the last 2 years for a number of reasons including lowering the speed limit.
To my mind what you guys a calling for is to increase the danger on the roads simply so you can get to your home 5 minutes faster!!! Have any of you lost a family member to a speeding driver?
BTW for those of you worried about speeding fines how about we drop the fines and make it loss of lience or even jail time will that reduce your revenue rising concerns?
Lastly I live in the country have to drive for long periods at highway speeds. I never speed and have only one speeding ticket 25 years ago.
