Miles per hour Essays

and intimidating. Some major turnpikes in West Virginia have posted speed limits of 70 miles an hour. I’ve been driving for more than 20 years, currently living in an area of Maryland where the highway has frequent crossing traffic. This has limited the posted speed limit to 55 miles per hour.

As I crested a hill and dropped out of site I'd gun it and tear up the next quarter mile before he had a chance to crest the hill. I would immediately slow down to the speed limit once I was in his radar again. This would go on for several miles and I never got tickets. He knew I was messing with him, but didn't have anything on me. It was just a little bit of harmless

Persuasive speech I would like to start off by asking a question. How many of you have driven a car over the speed limit on the freeway?

Maybe I could finish it? Traffic may not be too bad today. Perhaps Google map's estimate is off, after all they don't account for speeding? No! You need to go now.

As I drive along State Highway 3 towards New Plymouth, something occurs to me: There is nothing honourable about speeding. It shows no dominance and impresses very few. It takes no skill whatsoever. It’s different if you’re on a bike or on foot. In ancient times such races were used to decide who the better man was. To be faster than everyone else took hard work and determination, but not anymore. Now it only takes an ego. Suddenly, a V8 slides into the passing lane and zooms ahead of me with an
