The Need for Speed
Speed Limits
In Germany did you know that cars can drive as fast as they want? There is no speed limits in Germany, you can drive from 40 mph or 140 mph, do you think we should be able to do that in the United States?
1. Explain why we need or don't need to have speed limits on our highways in the US?
all answers must be appropriate.
We need speed limits because it saves people.
ReplyDeleteI think we need speed limits in the United States because i we did not have speed limits then there would be alot more accidents.
ReplyDeleteWe need speed limits in the U.S. because then everyone will be going as fast as they want. About 75% of the time there will be crashes and everything will not run smoothly.=]
ReplyDeleteWe need speed limits so people won't be in excedents when they are driving.
ReplyDeleteIf we didn't have any speed limits, then we would all get into crashes. Then, we would all end up daed or in the hospital.
ReplyDeleteI thank that we need a speed limit, cause we have alot of people who are dangerious and drive fast. If we change our speed limit then we have alot of accidents.
ReplyDeleteNO i dON't tHiNK tHAT tHERE ShOUlD bE SPEEd LiMiT bECAUSE iF tHERE WASN't tHEN tHERE WiLL bE MORE ChANCES Of PEOpLE gETTiNG iNtO ACCiDENtS.!*
ReplyDeleteI think that we the people in the united states need a speed limit so that there is less crashes for like when like old people are driving they wont get hit by some one going super fast and they should also raise the minimum because thats how somecrashes happen.
ReplyDeleteWe need speed limits because then people will be safe from crazy drunks who can not handle drinking and driving.
ReplyDeleteI think that we do need speed limits because if we dont have speed limits everyone would be speeding and alot of people would crash into each other.Also if we didn't have it in the winter there would be so many accidents. And more people would die each year.
ReplyDeleteNo becuase here in the U.S
ReplyDeletetheres a lot of people and if
a person drive 140 mph it can git some other cars or can crash into another cars..
and also they can get hurt
We already have speed limits and people do not follow them so I think it doesn't make a difference. It will not matter if the speed limit is 25mph or not people will still get hurt.
ReplyDelete...UGH, nOT ReALly BECUASE IT'S GONE BE SUPER CRAZY,HAHA,!!!,,BUT FUNN!!!=>
ReplyDeleteNo I don't because some streets are to little and there are to many cars.
ReplyDeletei dont think that we should have no speed limits like Germany because there is enough deaths by drunk driving with a speed limit. so i think we should keep our speed limit.
ReplyDeletei think that we need speed limits so that we do not get in that many crashes. some of those crashes will even lead to death
ReplyDeleteI think we shouldn't be able to drive as fast as we want because if we are drunk or high people will crash and can not only hurt themselves but hurt others.
ReplyDeleteI think that we need to have speed limits because if we don't then a lot of cars will crash and kill people.
ReplyDeletewe need speed limits because there would be accidents every where if we didn't
ReplyDeleteThe United States should not be able to drive as fast as they want because they have to many accidents
ReplyDeleteWe need speed limits becuase there might be more accidents than there already is.
ReplyDeleteI think no because we don't have a lot of room here. It would be cool pimp.
ReplyDeleteI think we need speed limits so people that drive dont get tickets or get in a car accident!!
ReplyDeleteI think no because we don't have a lot of room here. It would be cool pimp.
ReplyDeleteNo cause people can drive reckless driving and acidents thats wat i thik
ReplyDeleteWe need speed limits so people don't crash into other cars.
ReplyDeleteWe need speed limits because people can get in to a car accident or without speed limit people can have no idea what to do.
ReplyDeleteWe need speed limits because without them 1 person could be going slow and the next person could be going fast and that could cause an acciedent.
ReplyDeleteWe need a speed limit because if people go to fast and a kid walks on the street and if they can't brake they might run over the kid.
ReplyDeleteI think we need speed limits is so that people can go the right speed. for certain reasons on the road.
ReplyDeletei think that speeding limites are good in most cases and if you didn't have speeding limites it wuld be chaos
ReplyDeleteI think we need speed limits because the amount of accsedents will increase like 100%
ReplyDeleteI Want people to drive more than 140 because if a woman is going to have a baby how are they going to get to the hispital in time before the baby is born.
ReplyDeleteUm no because it really not safe and i just think people say yes it we should be able to do that but they just want to drive fast and do hwat they want but if they get hurt they wont like that.
ReplyDeleteWe need to have speed limits on our highways in the U.S because if we didn't it could cause more accidents and it isn't safe.
ReplyDeleteWe need speed limits because if not there would be at least one axident every day
ReplyDeleteNo I think we shouldn't do that in the unites states because you can kill yourself out there while driving.
ReplyDeleteIt is stupid to have no speed limit in the united states.So don't make law to have no speed limit so we can be save in the world.
it will be unsafe
ReplyDeleteI think our highway needs speedlimits because they keep all drivers as save as possible.
ReplyDeleteThere will be a speed limits on the he highways so there wiil be on car cash and people will not get hite at all.
ReplyDeleteI think we need speed limints bekuse you can run over some one with your car.
ReplyDeleteNo becuse we would get into crashes like 20 sec. per min. and I would get hit by a car.
ReplyDeleteIf we did not have speed limits, there will be tons of dead people.
ReplyDeleteWe need speed limits to save lives and keep young ones from getting in danger.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think that we need speed limits becouse if there were no speed limits everyone would be going slow, or fast, and it could be dangerous for people.
ReplyDeleteyes we do need speed limits because if we didn't have them there would be alot of axidents
ReplyDeleteWe should have speed limits because people would be raceing
ReplyDeleteIt is real important because if we dont alot of people might get hurt.
ReplyDeleteI think we should because if we didnt there would be alot of accidents. It would still be fun if we didnt because it would be like bumper cars!!!:>
ReplyDeleteYes we need speed limits because some people wil go so fast that they crash
ReplyDeleteI think we need speed limits in the United States because then there would be too much accidents.
ReplyDeleteWe need to have speed limets because if we don`t have speed limets thare would be a lot of crashes.
ReplyDeleteYES WE DO NEED SPEEP LIMTS BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL GET CRASED
ReplyDeleteNo i think that there should be speed limits becuase if threr wasnt any then poeple that drive would be hitting the poeple that walk on the sidelk or streets.
ReplyDeleteI think we dont need speed limits because they can cause accidents and alot of trouble.
ReplyDeleteI think we need speed limits because there would be lots of dead people by now and we wouldn't be safe!!
ReplyDeleteI beleive we don't need speed limits because sometimes people don't follow the signs. I believe we should have speed lmits because traffic police wont have any thing to do and because people will crash.
ReplyDeleteYes i do think we should have speed limits because if we dont someone could get killed if someone go's to fast.
ReplyDeleteWe need speed limits or else people can get in car accidents and they will go as fast as they want.
ReplyDeleteNo because if everyone is speeding that fast it would be lots of accidents and maybe even deaths.
ReplyDeleteNo, I tink that we should have speed limits, because what if one car is going 20 m.p.h and another truck is going 80 m.p.h. Then they could crash and want to sue. Thats a great example of a reason why we should have speed limits...
ReplyDeleteI think taht we should not be able to do that because if we were able to do that then alot of people would get hert.
