Cars are geared so you can run a low rpm on the motorway so inherently they can significantly exceed the speed limit. So limit their speed some other way. Every new car on the road has a computer in it, and that computer can very easily do that. Heck, with GPS, you could even have the speed limit change on the fly, so people aren't able to do highway speeds in cities (though that would probably be more trouble than it's worth, given how dodgy GPS speed limit detection can be). Troll_Police_ posted... human error is the cause of just about every accident youve ever seen. we've already established this. While true, that's a pretty useless statement. If you want to decrease accidents, you need more specifically-targeted measures than "you should all stop making mistakes," and that means identifying specific risk factors. Speeding is one of the varieties of human error that contributes to accident rates. Designing cars to be unable to exceed local speed limits is one way to address that, thereby reducing accident rates. --- This is my signature.
