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 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.=]

I 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.

I 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.

No becuase here in the U.S
theres 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.

No I don't because some streets are to little and there are to many cars.

i 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.

i 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

I 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.

We need speed limits because people can get in to a car accident or without speed limit people can have no idea what to do.

We 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.

We 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.

I 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.

No I think we shouldn't do that in the unites states because you can kill yourself out there while driving.

It 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.

I 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.

We need speed limits or else people can get in car accidents and they will go as fast as they want.

No because if everyone is speeding that fast it would be lots of accidents and maybe even deaths.

No, 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...
