    What if I don’t drive at all? Why should we accept people like you being infinitely more likely then me to kill someone with a car? Where is the limit? Why can’t we just make all speed limits zero?

        I agree driving is dangerous to society. But I do have issues with the reliance on “enforcement” instead of prevention. You can set the speed limit to whatever you want and you can set the penalties for speeding to be almost as draconian as you want, but drivers are going to drive at whatever speed they are physically allowed to unless there is something that physically prevents them. So therefore trying to moralize about how they are more likely to kill someone, isn’t really helping anything. The only thing that can help is not allowing people to drive to begin with.
