Reduce 'reckless driving'. Good cause, but it doesn't work.

If people can't obey the laws now, what makes you think they'll drive safely if the limit is removed?

Maybe your whole concept of 'reckless' driving is moot, because driving over the posted speed limit IS reckless because of the speed limit.

Reckless means "without reck".

I never knew 'reck' was a word.  It's only used in 'reckless' isn't it?

Yeah...the interstate here is 60-70mph I think there would be pile-ups if people were made to go 55.

Even if it is 55, people are still going to go 70-80. It's not going to change a damn thing.

if its 55, a few people do slow down to try to avoid a ticket, causing a lot of tailgating and aggressive driving

Wrong.

It's going to make the people who just have to drive the speed limit go slower, increasing the damage that could be caused if someone came up from behind and rear ended them.

It's already like that.

There are people going 70 on a highway with a 70 mph speed limit, and others going 80-90.

There will be less damage if everyone goes 15 mph slower. Not as many fatal accidents.

They slow down when it's 70. LOL

It doesn't make a difference what the speed limit is. I know people who go 50-55 in my community which has a 35 mph speed limit - a community filled with little kids and animals and shit. There is absolutely no reason to go that fast over the speed limit.

The only time it makes a difference is if you have to go a very long distance, like 300 miles+, in which case you might as well take a plane because gas is so goddamn expensive.
