i dont think there should be speed lmits at all.....natural selection.
though, id rather not be naturally selected by some soccer mom pushing around three tons of steel. Not much fitness involved with that, just people with fat wallets and inferior genes

They raised the speed limits in Phoenix freeways a few years ago from 55 to 65 and it made everything better. Of course, the limits out in the middle of nowhere are more like 75 and the cops don't enforce it very much. There are some peole doing 90 at times out there and it is fine with me. Soccer moms get scared when they go fast and they stay in their lane by not talking on the cell phone.

i just spent the month in rome and let me tell u traffic in italy and the us are totally different. forget about the overwhelming population of mopeds and mini's italy, well rome at least leaves much mroe up to the driver, less lights and limit signs. highways are how they should be there too, busses and slower cars stay in the right lanes while passing cars can fly by in the left. i think its about time the us started doin **** like this

the difference is that in europe getting a license is 5 times harder, and you have to be 18 to drive. i find it funny how they have practically no age drinking limit, but limit driving to 18, and have MUCH less drunk driving issues.
