He makes it sound so simple, as though everybody and his brother wouldn't find a way around a speed limiter.

And if limiting speeding is so simple, let's go ahead and cut the production and distribution of guns and outlaw tobacco production.

At 65mph I'm bored and complacent. At 85mph I'm alert and attentive. I'd say the latter is safer.
