I think speed limit is very important. It keeps everyone going the same speed and improves the flow of traffic. Sometime drivers have to go a little faster than others to get to where they are going.

People slow down in areas of hazard and construction. Sometime the conditions are worst. There should be signs for your safety

multiple debates over whether speed limits are a positive or negative thing for drivers. Some people have stated that speed limits are a good thing in that they help to regulate how fast someone is able to drive‚ and help to improve the safety of those driving. There are also those that state that by putting a limit on how fast you’re able to drive‚ it in turn takes away your freedom to enjoy the open road. Even though these are both very valid points‚ having a speed limit helps in two ways‚ it gives

Speeding Speeding is a serious offence. Obey the speed limit. Did you know on average 5 people die every day in the UK because of speeding? You might just be running late for a meeting or just wanting to go fast. Wouldn’t you rather be late or just slow down? Instead‚ you’re risking your life and the lives of others. Speeding is the most common and dangerous offence on our roads. Road safety has significantly improved. However‚ there is an average of 5 deaths a week. That number is way too

Bush (50‚992‚335 to 50‚455‚156) yet losing the White House in the Electoral College by only five votes (271 to 266).

make up for that some people decide to speed‚ but with speeding comes a lot of risk and dangers. Speeding can cause you to get a ticket which is expensive and time consuming‚ increase your cost of insurance‚ put your life and others lives in danger‚ and above all it is against the law. In North Carolina‚ 1 person is killed or injured in speed-related crashes every 22 minutes. The risk of a crash in a 60 mph zone doubles with every 5 mph above the limit. The public needs to be more aware of the

Maintaing the speed limit as it is will be more effective than to lower the speed limit for various reasons. Reasons such as it will make less traffic‚ keep drivers focused‚ and allow people to get to their destinations faster.

ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST TERM LIMITS My research indicated there is more public support for term limits. The most common reason was voters feel dissatisfied and misrepresented by the candidate in office.

wanted to impose a national speed limit and instead of enacting legislation they decided to threaten the states that failed to comply‚ by withholding federal road funds; I feel it should have been considered unlawful. The choice to enforce a speed limit should fall under the responsibility of each individual state. It should be voted on by the states elected officials whether a speed limit should be raised. I believe that Congress did not simply enact a national speed limit because Congress wanted
