Miles per hour

point. In Fact we should increase the speed and let the careless drivers deal with the problems they cause and not penalize the rest. Even though driving 55 miles per hour is more fuel efficient,the speed limit needs to be increased because people get to places faster and save time and accidents are only caused by careless drivers. Driving at 55 miles per hour is more fuel efficient and the only way we have to worry about efficiency is because Back in 1973 the United States was in an oil embargoed by Saudi Arabia by five percent. As claimed by Tim castleman “our non renewable fossil fuels,like those used in gasoline, are dwindling at an alarming rate.” (US News) That is another reason why we should keep the speed limit at 55 mph, what will happen if we run out of gasoline? The best thing to do is conserve the most we can! As a matter of fact without fuel to run our…

I would like to inform you that if we take away speed limits, kids who are under age and adults will become more reckless. They will drive extremely fast. Most kids stay within the speed limit so they won’t get a ticket, so if we stop speed limits then what the purpose of having police patrolling the roads? If they aren’t speed limits than around house and in complexes and subdivisions, people can speed down the road and hit kids without seeing them because they are going too fast. The same goes…

While driving on the highway, a driver decides that he/she should speed, just to get to his/her destination faster, and the person feels like there is no harm done if he/she gets caught speeding, since it is not that big of deal, since it is not a violent or major crime, so what harm can be done? Frank Trippett, in the article, “A Red Light for Scofflaws”, suggests that more and more ordinary citizens are becoming scofflaws, people who break the law casually, because they feel like law and…

Trains are very nice way of transportation and can also be a safe way of transportation, that's if we follow the rules. Waiting for a train to pass by may take just a minute or two. If we are so impatient just to cross the railroad while a train is coming that is just pure ignorance. Why would we cross a railroad while a train is coming just to save a few minutes when you are also risking your own life, all just for a few minutes. When the signs that a train is coming and the railroad barricades…
