Green Party wants lower speed limits
If we had mandatory lower speed limits, along with strong enforcement, we could save even more lives. This would also help us lower our greenhouse gas emissions at the same time, not to mention health care costs,”
I'm glad these fools didn't gain one seat in the last election.

They could also achieve all of that by outlawing driving altogether...

It would also slow the economy, which means less tax revenue to pay for that "strong enforcement".

Whenever people ask for lower speed limits, I feel like going out and running over a bunch of small children at 30km/hour.

Don't really care, they're not in power, and I don't really follow speed limits anyway.

Slower limits == more stop and go == higher fuel consumption == more greenhouse gases.
Funny.

The Green party didn't win a seat in the last election so the fact that they are making any noise is stupid. bunch of fucking tree hugging hippies.

Actually during the energy crisis in the US in the 1970s, this was done on highways to reduce fuel consumption and in theory, it works as cars are most fuel efficient in the 90 km/h range (generally speaking). I would not support this in any other road as they are slow enough as it is.
I speed on the highways, but am mixed on this...I see a very easy way to to reduce emissions but seems to imposing on freedoms...although I guess you are free to do what you want. Its almost like a user pay system- you want to pollute more, you pay for more gas, more tax, speeding fines, etc.

How would slower speed limits mean more stop and go?Originally posted by rage2

Say someone stops to turn into a parking lot or something, then yes you would have to stop, but it would take less effort to get up to the speed limit than if the limits were higher.
Edit: But I guess if the speeds are slower, traffic would become more congested which would cause stop and go...
I dunno, I was just looking for something to argue about and I've got nothing.

Well if they raise the speed limit we would get to our destinations faster = less time on the road = less greenhouse gases.

I dont follow how it would really save lives, driver error causes more accidents than speed
Go away green party

I'm doubling the speed limit tomorrow, because I can, and because I hate the green party!

Hopefully you die and drive up the cost of health care
Registered User
They're completely wrong... higher speed limits lower health care costs.
If you get into an accident doing 80km/hr, you'll break a bunch of shit and could end up in a hospital bed for weeks... price of health care goes up.
If you get into an accident going 160km/hr, you'll probably die and spend 0 days in a hospital bed... price of health care goes down.
In fact making seat belts illegal on highways would probably lower the cost of health care as well.
Fucking Green Party...
