I’ve always wondered if the evil’s of speeding were used as a scapegoat. Something that people want to demonize for their own profit. I know sections of road where the speed limits are seemingly arbitrary and the enforcement is much higher than expected.
And it seems that there may be truth to the exaggerating of the dangers of speeding. Misleading stats?
How would people profit from restricting speed? I think it’s likely about control more than profit.

That’s why I linked a European study that correlates average speed with fatality instead of estimating how many crashes are influenced by speeding. You’re right though, “speeding” isn’t the objective metric it should be.

There is a large number of towns where a large percentage of revenue comes from speeding tickets it’s not conspiracy.
Google speed trap towns.
