Re: Limiting cars top speed. Arguments for and against

How many car accidents are caused by speeding in excess of 120km/h? It's another knee-jerk reaction. Instead of jumping to all of these irrational solutions, how about the money that we spend on speeding four kays over the limit goes towards better roads, better education, stricter licencing, R&D into more safety, etc?

I assume a limiter would be embedded into the ECU (or similar device), that would easily be cracked/overcome by aftermarket specialists anyway in little to no time at all. It is a waste of money and a waste of time.

Did reducing speed-limits reduce death tolls as dramatically as they were envisaged? I think not. Not even 2% of road fatalities are above the speed limit. I am getting sick and tired of hearing that "Speed Kills." Speed does not kill! Collisions kill. Negligent driving kills. Unwary pedestrians kill.
