I believe in speed limits and that everyone should follow them not only keep themselves safe but people on the road safe as well.

So if something was to happen and they needed to stop they would have enough time to react and slam on the breaks. Think about is they were speeding. They could lose a few seconds of important reaction time and end up causing them to have an accident.

Therefore that is my argument for speed limits and we should in force them. Even thought it can be costly and time consuming it is important for everyone’s safety and well
