Something like 40,000 die on our roads every year. Who knows how many are permanently injured.

How often does ABC (or any media, MSM or otherwise) question if this is worth it to our society?

After all, if we lowered the speed limit to 15 mph and aggressively enforced it, we'd probably save almost 40,000 lives, not to mention those who would otherwise be permanently injured.

Most traffic studies show that the best (fastest) speed should be 45 MPH. Don't remember where I heard that. Make me wonder how many lives would be saved if we follow that advice.
