It is my belief that speed limits do not prevent nor decrease accidents. Driver’s education courses should be mandatory, but even that is not really the key. Driving while using common sense is the only way to prevent accidents. In the United States alone over 37,000 people die in road crashes each year, and an additional 2.35 million are injured. That number is awfully high if a designated speed is meant to keep drivers safe. Inexperience makes the numbers worse, as nearly 8,000 people are killed each year in crashes involving drivers younger than age 20. I think that every person should have to take a driver’s education course before getting their driver’s license. I don’t think that course should be a couple of week thing either.
