I voted NO for one reason only -
Enforcement...
if we cannot enforce the limits as they are now - would lowering the speed limit really save anything? we would still have individuals speeding for what ever reason and you would have those "paying attention" wanting to save fuel.
the Risk is now there is a bigger delta in speed between the Speeders ( still doing 81 mph) and the people who follow the law.Could result in MORE accidents and MORE gas consumed in "gridlock"
I know you should NOT argue that we should make the law fit the people who are breaking it - but if we are NOT enforcing the limits consistantly now - would reducing it be benifitial?
