I understand that you are one man just voicing his opinion and in no way speak for the group that got this law passed....What is the actual problem you think speed limit supporters are referencing and trying to solve.

I didn't say the speed limit is not about safety.
Safety was not the main reason the legislation was written. Representative Pilliod was clear that it was about fear.
In my opinion there are many good reasons for a speed limit. Safety is one of them, but not at the top of the list.
