- Kind of like people who can't control the speed of their car you mean?

- And now you're a race car driver.

- Listen, you're a young guy with a Mustang and you want to go fast
- maybe you are a good driver but believe me those speed limits are there
- for a reason, if you were distracted for even a second and the guy in
- front of you nailed his brakes you need enough time to react and if
- you're going 70 it will limit your reaction time.
