35 mph is perfectly adequate for all regular, everyday needs. Exceptions would be made for emergency vehicles.

I am 65 years old - but have never bothered to obtain a driver's license.

Instead, I use public transportation systems (municipal buses, light rail, etc.), bicycles, or my own two feet. I have always chosen workplaces near where I live (or, conversely, I would relocate to be near my job). There's a bakery 3 minutes away by foot, a butcher shop, barbershop, etc. - because I wisely chose a place of residence with access to such services.

Hardly anyone needs a car. And the tiny minority who do could certainly tolerate being restricted to vehicles mechanically incapable of exceeding a max. speed of 35 mph.

Regards,
