When the Federal Government tried to enforce a speed limit for the entire country, they chose to intimidate those states that failed to obey by holding federal road funds which should have been found to be unconstitutional. The decision on whether or not to impose a speed limit should be voted amongst the members of Congress or simply decided by each states Government and state officials such as Governors. Threatening to withhold a state’s federal road funds so that the Government could get…

they do not need to follow the speed limit and feel that they can go above it to get to their destination quicker. About two thirds of all drivers will exceed the speed limit every day (Parker-Pope).

If one driver is coming into oncoming traffic and the other is far above the speed limit, it will be nearly impossible to stop in time before coming into a collision.

Opponents might argue that self-driving cars don’t completely take accidents out of the picture. According to the leading website Auto Insurance Center, driverless cars could…

didn’t use his turn signal so I almost knocked into him. I hate when people drive without using turn signals, go under the speed limit, and have their brights on. Driving without using turn signals really grinds my gears. Driving without using turn signals really grinds my gears. When the person in front of you is coming up on a turn and they start to slow down their speed to make the turn into a new lane or to get onto a new road can cause something bad to happen.

We cannot stop there however, Socrates has taught us to question everything. So diving deeper, why do we have a speed limit? There are a few…
