That's a good one. Different countries have different limits, does it make one safer than the other?
Maybe limits as a concept introduces security, or does it introduce a false sense of security?
I think reckless drivers should be punished, but arbitrary rules tend to be gamed and those cause unexpected after effects. For example, it is common in the UK for people to slow at speed cameras and then take off once past. This is erratic driving and does not achieve the intended purpose as far as I can tell.
For those who get caught, they must attend a course at cost, and it is clear that it is a money making machine more than a reformative thing.
Also speeding is treated with the same punishment as stopping in a yellow box which can be at best irritating for people who must wait for you to clear away, but it is hardly dangerous. It is very easy to make this mistake when there is traffic too.
