Would you drive any different if there were NO SPEED LIMITS?

Question

or do you think you would drive the same because the speed limit is the perfect speed?

How would your driving differ if at all?

Answer 1

I would go fasterrrrrrr

Answer 2

I would drive the same as if there were speed limits, life is too short.........

Answer 3

probably not, but their is always an exception to the rule.

Answer 4

i think i would just drive faster

Answer 5

I would drive as safe as conditions would allow (basic law).

Montana tried to do this a few years back.  Unfortunately a lot of people assumed there was no speed limit, and tried to turn the state into th U.S. Autobahn.  Apparently not everyone is capable of driving their vehicle in a safe and prudent manner at speeds which are safe for conditions.

Answer 6

It likely wouldn't change.  I drive to conditions for one thing, but I also balance in factors such as fuel economy.  Those who answer they would drive faster have been sniffing gasoline.  Look at the price of gas.  Driving faster cannot be justified, as it burns the fuel faster and just drives the price higher.

Answer 7

I wouldn't specifically say that I would go FASTER than the speed limits, nor do I think speed limits are the "perfect speed."    Rarely (yet sometimes) I go slower than the speed limits, based on conditions (light/visibility, rain, etc.)  However, on straight shots, I think I'd probably go faster if I could, as long as I was not endangering others on the road.

Answer 8

Well, if everyone "else" drove like there were NO SPEED LIMITS, then I would be really watching out for them because, being human and many of these humans having no common sense or regard for others, THEY would probably drive beyond their capability to control their vehicle. THEY would also no doubt also be driving without any regard to the mechanical condition of that vehicle which could result in their own or someone else's early demise.

I would likely become MORE defensive in my driving habits, and would probably drive somewhat faster myself! I'd like to think that I would drive within reasonable limits of my skill and vehicle condition levels. We all have talents and we all have skills, but we all LACK Self Discipline.....
