When it comes to physical condition, driving when you are sleepy or DUI is dangerous and irresponsible regardless of the speed at which you are driving.Īs to when I talk about responsibility awareness, I for one don't need a panel to tell me to slow down when I'm near a school, or when entering a crowded area, it's common sense. The car involved also matters a lot, my mother in law is driving the cheapest model of car and seeing that car on the freeway is a scary experience, past 50 miles an hour the car is shaking like crazy and very unresponsive. To control traffic flow: Another reason for implementing speed limits is to control traffic flow.
#Why we need speed limits drivers
Let's be honest, not everybody has the same driving skills and a poor driver at low speed may be more dangerous to themselves and others than a more expert one at higher speed (agreed that many tend to overestimate their own abilities too). Speed limits are designed to enhance safety and to reduce the number of accidents otherwise the drivers would be traveling on different rates which will result in a collision. Generally, most of the United States has highway speeds between 65 and 75 miles per hour, with a few lower or higher depending on the area. The limits are set by local municipalities for in-town traffic, and each state sets highway speed limits. People like to blame it on speed because it's easy, but I personally believe that there are many components involved, starting with: driving skill, car driven, physical condition, and responsibility awareness. Speed limits are simply the maximum, or the minimum, speed a vehicle can legally travel. In my opinion, speed limit on its own does very little to reduce road accidents. I'd rather have people thought how behave responsibly on their own, than told.
