So banning cars from doing 100mph will really make a big difference around towns when kids are getting hit at anything from 40 - 70mph?? Would it make a difference if a kid was hit at 99mph or 120mph?? I personally think limiting the top speed is not the answer, if you're going to limit speed of cars it should be in the 30's and 40's - limiting them to 100mph isn't going to save lives on any sort of grand scale.Look at the Autobahn's in Germany, they have less accidents than we do on our motorways and they don't even have a speed limit. Most of their cars are limited to 155mph but as said, the difference of crashing at 100mph or 150 odd would really not be that big - it's going to be a big one whatever happens if it's anything around those kind of speeds.The problem you really have is where do you stop? The police have a job to do, hence speed camera's and traffic police - people NEED to be able to break the law, it will always happen and you cannot control everything people do. If you choose to do over 100mph in an area you feel is safe, i.e desserted motorway then i personally think it's up to you - it's your choice to take the chance.It's the local reeeeeeeeeetards that wrag about through the town in their chavved up 1.2's that are the problem, their cars won't even do 100mph but they're far more dangerous to anyone else on the road driving like tw@'s around congested / built up areas.
