Not a matter of moral quality. Speed kills, alcohol kills. Obey the traffic law and get to your destination or your home alive. Sorry if you don’t care about yourself or your family.

You wear a mask when you're in the car alone, don't you.

Well, I speed and since I’m posting to you, I’m not dead.
People like you are dangerous. Going 55 when everyone else is going 75. Enjoy your supposed superiority.

SPEED doesn’t kill.

It is the SUDDEN STOP that gets you.

Somehow I don’t believe that our illegal immigrant drivers can go 72 hours without being found not to have a license or insurance.

Speed is largely a contributing cause to carnage but, way down the list as a primary cause.

Unsafe lane change
Following to close
Driving while impaired
Over driving conditions
Over driving vehicle capabilities

Etc
Etc
Etc

Speed is down the list....

Just one tiny little problem with your stance. Speed limits aren't actually posted for safety. They are posted to mitigate liability on the part of government entities. Posted speed limits are generally at least 10 MPH less than the actual safe speeds.

Drivers can judge safe speeds all by themselves. You see, cars come off the roads when you go around curves too fast. So, the way speed limits are established on new roads is to observe the traffic speed before limits are posted, then make signs that are 10 MPH below those natural speeds. Those signs are posted. This is policy withing DOT offices. It is also why motorists generally must go 10 MPH over the speed limit before they are ticketed.

When an accident occurs, the speed limit is used to prevent the DOT or the local government from having liability. After all, the driver was "speeding". It never was about safety.

No, it's more that I don't care about YOU or YOUR FAMILY.

And I hope I get your little dog, too.
