Speed limits exist because stupid people exist. When I was young, I was stupid. I thought it’d be cool to count how many streets I’d on which I’d driven at least 100kph. Soon after that I got into an accident because I was going too fast and couldn’t slow down in time.

Speed limits exist entirely because of World War era gas and rubber rationing, and were never repealsed due to their LE revenue producing nature.
