- Here's a question: *should* passenger cars in the US be allowed to go over 100 mph? - JaxSean Nov 20, 07:37 12
  - There's only a speed limit on public roads. You can drive 200mph on private property and don't even need a driver's license. - Krusty Nov 20, 07:58
  - Yes. -- nm - znufrii Nov 20, 07:51
  - Of course they should. -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 20, 07:49 8

        Where are there private roads that you could go 100mph+, or even 60+? And the percentage of people that take cars to the track has to be miniscule. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 20, 08:03
      - There just aren't a lot of accidents caused by high speed. -- nm - TWuG Nov 20, 07:58 1
        
        I dispute that. Distracted driving is the most common now, but speed is a factor there. - JaxSean Nov 20, 08:07
      - For one, if they pass the rules and snap their fingers and suddenly ALL cars are limited it would be one thing but - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 20, 07:57
