I know what we are wired to believe, but if we really are trying to protect our fellow American citizens, why not take away the convenience of high speed? Set the max limits at 35-40MPH. I guess it's because we can rationalize one convenience and not the other.

numbnuts! Drunk driving is drunk driving. People die or get seriously injured in slow speed crashes all the time. Just ask any EMT.
