We'd save hundreds of thousands of lives every year.You mean worldwide? US traffic deaths are under 40K per year, and many of those would not be prevented if the speed limit were 25. Also, every legislator who voted for such a law would lose their next primary, and the law would be repealed. In contrast, politicians who have closed restaurants, etc., will not be voted out of office because a majority of the voting public will understand it was the right thing to do. |
