I don’t know….seems to me that if everything was left the same but the speed limit dropped to 5 mph, there would be fewer deaths. Speed has to have *something* to do with traffic deaths…[/quote]
Agreed speed has something to do with it. I just think there are larger issues on the highways. Speeding in residential is a whole different issue.

*edit* deleted rant.
Long story short, driver was driving brand new bimmer was doing 55 in a left lane blocking everyone for about 8 cars back. Couldn’t even stay in his/her own lane while yapping on the cell phone.[/quote]
