Perhaps you could use the accident over the weekend as an example for your argument.
VW Golf speeding, driving erratically, and then crashed into a people carrier killing everyone on board.
I think one of the main issues with driving standards these days; is that people are not trained to a standard where they know the limits of their cars.
In relation to being limited on the car, no... I would not like to be limited to the speed limit for that area, I'd like to still have some responsibility, thus making and learning from my own mistakes.
I know full well well what damage can be caused by speeding, drink driving and dangerous driving.
The example given at the beginning of this thread is a good example of dangerous driving, and I'd be reporting a driver going to wrong way on a motorway, as well as a pedestrian walking alongside the motorway.
It is bloody dangerous, and just takes that one person to not see the other, causing another incident to take up lives/resources.
Improve driver training and then maybe, just maybe the speed limits could be adjusted.
