@RememberTheApollo_ @cm0002
Speed limiters should be standard on all cars, like seat-belts. They should be retrofitted on older cars. A GPS module isn't that expensive. They are found in cheap phones that cost less than $50. Most cars on the road today have an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) The air and fuel mixture can be controlled to keep the car under a specific speed, easily. There is no reason a car needs to go 70 mph ever. 25 should be the top speed.
That’s certainly an opinion.
@RememberTheApollo_ Driving fast enough to kill a human or an animal instantly if you hit them, is no different than randomly firing your gun down the street blindfolded. You may not plan on killing a specific person and maybe you won't hit anything at all, but it shouldn't be allowed.
