> Traffic laws already limit how you are allowed to use your own car. This just prevents you from breaking the law. Your freedom ends where the freedom of another person to live a safe life begins.

There is a difference between a part in the car to limit how you use your own Car, and a speed limit on the road.

> Speeding cars make it a lot more difficult for other means of transport to share the road. In Europe many urban areas are limited to 30km/h (19mph). This allows sharing the street with bicycles, pedestrians and playing children. Speeding cars (speed limits are often seen as minimum speeds) make this impossible

This is an issue of enforcement, and its not being fixed because the EU is lazy.

Its as easy as installing speed traps and fines that hurt the drivers where it matters, the wallet.
