Content | Research has told me that in the 1970's-80's during the United States' energy crisis, the speed limits on highways and interstates were reduced in order to save energy. I feel that with rising gas prices, the speed limits should once again be reduced, to 65 on the interstates and 60 on state highways. This speed limit reduction, along with saving energy, would also reduce fatalities as a result of accidents and accidents in general. Many accidents could be avoided, I believe, with a speed limit reduction. Also, a reduced speed at impact in the event of an accident would reduce fatalities and serious injury. I believe that reducing speed limits in Oklahoma would be beneficial to everyone on the road and help ensure a safer second century for our great state. |
