    Your argument for not having speed limits is that a portion of other drivers speed and this isn’t enforced? Not that it should be stricter, or the limit lowered?

      The argument is that safety is already naturally incentivized. People don’t want to be in crashes, so they naturally avoid.

      And an awake human brain, on site and paying attention and in control of the speed, is a better safety mechanism than a car that won’t go over a specific speed.

        People also overestimate their reflexes and abilities, and lower speeds result in fewer injuries and deaths. Sure, being awake is good, but so is going slower; why not both?

      not a portion it is the majority of the drivers we are on the road with do not follow road rules including speeding

      when speed limits are lowered very small group of drivers that adhere to the speeds set suffer due to bumper humpers and road ragers

      not safer

        That definitely sounds like an enforcement issue because it definitely isn’t the case everywhere!
