Jassem al wazzan S00031319 Prof. Arby T.Siraki ENGL101 October 30th, 2014 Speed Limits: should they be lowered or raised? We have reached a world were speed is needed a requirement. We need speed in internet, studying, medicine and even production. Speed is the requirement for success. So why not speed in cars too? In my opinion, Speed limits should be definitely raised. Accidents do not happen just because of speeding in fact they happen because of people that are reckless, irresponsible and immature. They are thoughtless in controlling their speed. Raising the speed limits would benefit the society in many different perspectives. For example is we went into business and industrial production. On highways and long freeways, large factory transportation vehicles, trucks and lorries are forced by law to drive on a specific speed limit that does not exceed 50mph.

The drivers on the road lack respect, gratefulness and gratitude to other drivers and that’s why accidents are occurring. Speed limits have nothing to do with death and fatality rates. If people stick to drive on a certain speed limit, concentrate on their driving and drop their phones from their hands, this would benefit the society and benefit us as drivers from experiencing accidents and

    Gregg Easterbrook, a fellow of the Brookings Institution and LA Times contributor, argues in his article, “Road Kill,” that deaths on the highway roads in America is a large and ignored problem. Easterbrook argues that the cause of the deaths can be linked to horsepower and cell phone usage. The author also writes the problem is ignored, because of moral differences and the feeling that the crashes can’t be prevented. Easterbrook also writes that the fatalities are not just limited to the drivers on the road. The author writes about the increased number of fatalities of pedestrians when crossing the streets, which further adds to the argument that the problem needs to be adressed and not ignored like it currently is (1-2).

  • Explain Why The United States Should Increase Speed Limits

    1056 Words  | 5 Pages

    According to National Motorist Association if speed limits were raised and all lanes were moving the same speed, traffic would move so much smoother because it is assumed that everyone has an ideal speed at which they feel comfortable on the freeway and all those people on the freeways driving at that ideal comfortable speed will improve traffic flow. This will not only get you to your destination faster, but it will keep everyone of you safe. The National Motorist Association conducted an experiment in New York and results showed a reduction in automobile accidents.
