America and their car fetish, the highest speed limit in the U.S.A is 85 mph you don't need a car that goes faster than that all cars should have a regulator limiting the speed or be banned. Those looking to increase their cars performance and horsepower should be looked at by the government they obviously are a potential menace on the road.
That goes for motorcycles also.....
Some people like to take their cars to the track. My M3 is limited to 156 MPH by a governor. I rarely exceed 85 on the highway but enjoy opening it up at the track.

What else is on your long list? How about restricting people from eating more than 2000 calories a day if obesity kills more people than gun violence?
Yeah! Let's get rid of all regulations! Freedom! MAGA!
Let anyone who wants to be an airline pilot be one! No license, physical or background check! Freedom to fly without government interference!
Let oil companies and strip miners pollute with no restrictions! Freedom, MAGA!
Sell off the national parks to the highest bidder, let them develop them for profit! Freedom!
Stop health inspections at restaurants. If people get sick, they'll stop going there and the free market will take care of the rest. Freedom, MAGA!
Get rid of government-installed traffic lights. Give people the freedom to negotiate intersections on their own. If you get into an accident it's your own damn fault. Freedom, MAGA!
By the way, we tried laissez-faire unregulated small government in the 1920's. After a brief party of wild excess, it crashed and gave us the Great Depression.
Your point is well taken, and there is supposed to be a point somewhere in the middle where government is protecting resources and citizens without being over-reaching. The problem is that doesn't work anymore because of rampant, unchecked corruption. With corruption levels so high our government can't work the way it was designed to. Corruption has completely submerged the checks and balances that are supposed to be in place.
So until the big-time revolution happens that changes everything, I would just as soon the government be as small and unobtrusive as possible.
I could see this idea being pushed in the near future. If the whole driver-less car industry picks up, cars literally won't be able to go above the speed limit anyways.

Cell phones ARE banned while people are driving in 15 states!!!
Using a cell phone while driving is extremely irresponsible.
Very good! Thank you for pointing out that personal responsibility has to figure into this. I mean, how many of us really wants the government taking care of us like a nanny?
