Benefits Of Speeding

In American society today, there are numerous laws designed to protect all citizens. One such law is having a speed limit. This requires motorists to drive reasonably and consider the conditions and potential hazards, regardless of what the speed limit signs say. As the automobile demands grew, the streets and highways expanded throughout the US, lawmakers created speed limits. On thee another hand, some citizens believe with modern day road materials and current automotive technologies, cars can safely exceed the legal limits set on almost every road in the United States. But, endless amount of studies and researches proves that having a speed limit can save lives, not to mention money.

I believe that it would be a good idea to have a similar "no speed limit" rule for the major highways in Ontario, but some precautions should be taken. First, it would be a good idea to try it in Onatario because it seems to be effective in Germany. Secondly, with so many people trying to get somewhere under a certain limit of time, the rule would benifit them. Also, a higher speed limit would require people to be more cautious about their speed because now they have a choice. However, I do believe that there are also some cons. Increasing the speed limit puts strolling animals and pedestrians at risk because the speed has no "safety" factor. Moreover, it wouldnt make sense to raise a speed limit, when people are already abusing the speed

As time progresses, an interest for advancement lingers within individuals, as have with times passed. That is to say, such interest arouses the desire for putting into play several well-thought-out ideas. Some of which have resulted successful and common within the population. In particular, the invention of the automobile. Nowadays, driving has become one of the most used methods for transportation. In fact, with car technology improving, the amount of drivers seem to further escalate. A Los Angeles Times article states, “the number of vehicles on the road reached a record level of almost 253 million, an increase of more than 3.7 million, or 1.5%,” (253 Million Cars and Trucks on U.S. Roads). Even though modern technology has opened windows to a new world of possibilities, individuals still take such developments for granted. Drivers thoughtlessly violate traffic laws, which in return, result in a range of consequences. For this reason, citizens should respect laws to avoid getting themselves into trouble and to grow an appreciation for the current way of life.

Imagine a large family oriented neighborhood with about 140 homes, a small knit community. The main road into the neighborhood is a straight road to a stop sign; it has fifteen homes on each side of the street filled with families. This road leads in and out of the subdivision to 110 other residents of Manor Walk, and is the only way to enter and exit. Let’s say the neighbors are late or in a hurry, and are rushing the only way out is on the main road. This means they are driving 30 to 40 miles per hour by your home just because they are late. Traffic activity is the most hectic on this road every day. The families that live along Manor Dr, now have to be even more cautious of their children playing outside because of all the speeding vehicles. Their children cannot freely ride their bikes in the street, because of the road racers. Many kids complain to their parents

Why are speed limits important? Speed limits are important because they keep everyone on the road at a safe and steady speed. Imagine you're on the highway driving 65 miles per hour, the speed limit; and a car races past you. They have to be going 80 to 85 miles per hour, or possibly more. Up ahead of you, they get into a collision. This happens every day which is far too often. Speed limits are necessary for control and safety.

Since the first gasoline powered vehicle was invented, automobile technology has advanced at a rapid pace to bring us faster, safer vehicles (Managing Speed). Roads have improved from dirt and gravel to asphalt and concrete, and the number of vehicles on the road has increased exponentially. The motor vehicle has become the backbone of today’s society. Speed limits in the United States are at the highest they have ever been, yet vehicles today are powerful enough to easily exceed those posted speed limits. There are two very different groups of people advocating for what a reasonable speed limit is: a group lobbying for extreme safety and a group lobbying for faster travel times. Driving is an inherently risky undertaking no matter what the speed limit is, thus a compromise is tried to be met by increasing safety while allowing for practical travel times. There have been various methodologies theorized in setting speed limits, but which one is the best for today’s technologies and environments?

One gloomy night there was a young kid speeding down a winding road when a pig turned on his lights and chased after the speeder when he caught up to the speeder he slowed down and pulled over. "Do you have any idea why i pulled you over tonight?" questioned the officer, "because I let you officer." replied the speeder. The officer gave the speeder a puzzled look and asked " what do mean? " The speeder lunges his car into first gear and pops the clutch and takes off leaving black marks on the pavement. The officer scrambles slowly to get back to his cruiser he trips and falls he gets back up gets in the cruiser turns his lights on and yanks the radio and calls for backup. The officer takes off screaming "I will find you and race you!" The

II. Speeding is a serious crime that isn’t thought as one. It’s time to take it seriously and think of the lives that could have been lived with someone just took the time to slow down.

-Encourage safety and reduce accidents: TV campaign might show a child being hit by car travelling at 40 mph to demonstrate that even speeds quite slow still kill. The aim of this would be to encourage people to drive more slowly and reduce the incidence of such accidents.

A Koenigsegg CCR, a Swedish sports car, goes speeding down a highway. One sign passes the driver announcing the speed limit; "75 miles per hour." Then another sign. Soon the driver is passing the signs so fast that he or she cannot read the signs. A cop is sitting in his or her vehicle, waiting for someone to go zooming past. Suddenly, an object flashes in front of the vehicle. The radar gun is blinking fast – 242 mph. The vehicle was going 242 miles per hour in a 75. With a flick of a switch, the cop's lights are flashing, and sirens are blaring. The cop, handcuffs ready in hand, eventually pulls over and arrests the driver. The driver's sports car was towed. Everywhere people go, there is speeding; whether it is going 242 miles per hour or just going a few miles over the speed limit. Although it is typically not as drastic as going 242 mph, it is still common when driving. If a person is driving a few miles per hour over the speed limit, the cops will ignore it; but if a person is driving a significant amount over the speed limit they will get pulled over and ticketed a high amount – in some situations they may get arrested.

According to the survey, only in United Kingdom, car crashes got the live of 3100 people and more (Pettinger). The total economic cost of the car accident death is predicted as about 1 million including money spend on police and hospitals. If speed cameras were used more often, it would have save many people’s life. According to the data, in 2002, 3431 were dead because of the car accident and more than 33 percent of the deaths were happened because of the over speed. The Association of Chief Police Officers says that the most affectable factor to the car incident is speed, which is over drink driving or drug driving. Another positive effect of speed camera is that it is benefit to the environment. Basically, lower speed will make lower fuel consumption and this helps to decrease carbon emissions and also global warming. On the other hand, disadvantage of speed camera, is that there is no way to prove its safety. NMA, The National Motorist’s Association believes that the companies that sell the speed camera gears and operations

Speeding is not safe and everybody knows it. Yet, why do people do it? The reason is often peer pressure. Once a friend of mine thought it would be impressive to speed. Her decision to speed led us to believe that she is not a safe driver. We all immediately told her to slow down, because we didn’t feel safe. As a result of her action, we don’t like her to drive us everywhere anymore. We all feel speeding is not worth the consequences that could happen. Although we didn’t pressure her directly into speeding, she indirectly felt that we would think it would be cool. Often times teenagers will act a certain way to impress those around them. This can cause some embarrassment if the others find it unappealing. Instead of trying to impress others,
