Legalization of Speeding
Speeding laws have proved over an over to be an issue which faces just about every family in America. European countries have proved that having no speed limits (the autobahn) can be a safe and very effictive way for people to travel. Germany, a country which houses the autobahn, provided statistics which were taken in 2009 on traffic accidents on the autobahn and the results were quite impressive. Only six percent of injury accidents happen on the autobahn nation wide and less than twelve percent of all traffic fatalities were the result of autobahn crashes.

I agree with your argument that speed limits should either be raised or removed completly. i like the refrence to the Autobahn since it is a perfect example of how this program works
ReplyDeleteThis is true, but isn't the autobahn a straight highway? It's very different to be driving on a highway with no speed limit then it is to be driving in other areas without a speed limit. Places like neighborhoods and small towns with lots of kids running around would not be places that it would be safe to not have a speed limit. Also, a highway doesn't have stop signs, stoplights, and other streets you can turn onto, which could cause fatal accidents if there wasn't a speed limit. Overall, having no speed limit would not benefit society whatsoever.
