And that's an easy thing to do. People who say governors will reduce acceleration at lesser speeds are idiots.
Of course, we auto enthusiasts would simply change out the speedometer gear, or the rear-end gears, it's an easy thing to do! Speed rules

I'll take that as a yes.

So, yes we can restrict automobile speeds, but it's the competitive human nature to become stronger, faster and better than the next guy (see my #41 post above), so it wouldn't be much
of a restriction at all, merely a setback.
So you're saying there should be no speed limits at all?? You belong in the nuthouse.

Now that the topic is on the table:
Many of our nation's posted speed limits were set generations ago, when there were cars with two wheel drum brakes, and bias ply tires.
Due to automotive innovations, today's cars have:
4 wheel power disc brakes
anti-lock
stabilatrack
autonomous braking
radial, 4 season tires
etc.
Stopping distances have been cut roughly in half.
Yet we're still dogged with these mind-numbingly slow posted speed limits.
We have a natural feel for the appropriate speed for conditions; at what speed we safely traverse the pavement.
Suppose gun companies bragged about guns DESIGNED to break the law and kill innocent people.!!! Musk makes manson look like a choir boy.
Safely?? You think our roads are presently so safe we can RAISE speed limits??? So why do we have 37,000 americans killed every year on our highways? You are insane.
