Somehow I bet running red lights, failure to yield, illegal lane changes and running over motorcycle fines have not changed. Idiots! Speed does not, and has never, killed. Stupidity, timidity and indecision kill. The unlimited speed Autobahns are the safest roads in the world but we in the US, who guard our rights and freedoms more fiercely than anyone else, are happy to set our speed limits to please old aunt Clara. I believe speed limits are often much less about safety than they are about control.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
