I think some motor company thought about doing this 30-40 years ago. It was about as popular as hemorrhoids. They quickly dropped the idea.

The number one problem, I believe, is that frequently, out of safety, people have to exceed the speed limit, sometimes just for a few seconds, otherwise because they think they *have* to.

“Oh, gee, the wife has gone into labor, but the speed limit en route to the hospital is only 25 mph. So, sorry, honey. I guess the baby will have to wait! It’s only 10 miles!”

Exceeding the speed limit is one of the primary ways to avoid other people’s accidents.

Ya. Or you are passing someone in the oncoming lane and need to speed up to get around quickly. So sorry, no faster than 45mph — head on collision in 3...2..1 seconds!
