Speed limits, texting, and a poll.

Speed is not the major problem, it's when you have some one going 130 compared to 90 kph is when you have a problem. The speed difference is the danger. You are coming up so quick on the other guy chances are he will not see you coming and that's where a lot of accidents happen. It is a lot safer if every one is going the same speed either faster or slower.

While I do like Jake's idea I do have to agree with you. Just from a safety point of view speeds must be consistent for all. I dont drive my box around others the same that I do on open roads by myself but thats only because I dont like taking others by surprise.

Very valid points. There are few situations that this would work so well.

But they never will be. No matter what the posted limit is. Nearly everyone is driving above the speed that their driving skill level should permit.
Maybe speeds will be consistent when Google or Elon Musk invent self-driving car highways.
