I generally favor personal freedom. I am against most vaccine mandates. Not in favor of forcing masks on school children but limiting cars to a more reasonable speed on the highway makes sense. In Germany on Autobahn, everyone pays attention to the rules of the road so driving 120 MPH there feels safer than 65-75 MPH in the USA. Too many drivers in the USA are distracted/drunk or simply don't know how to drive well so I support introducing a limit.
In the USA given the terrible drivers, cars without the most safety devices to prevent collisions and lessen the impact of them should be limited to something like 105 MPH. Vehicles with them and drivers having to blow into some sort of device to make sure they are sober, I would allow to go up to 120/125 MPH on certain desolated highways like in the desert.
I wouldn't make old cars without these speed governors illegal or force any sort of retrofitting on them so it would take 10-20 years to really start lower the death rate/accident rate from some of these idiots who think they are Nascar drivers on public highways.
I don't care if folks go over 200 MPH on the track so I would allow GPS or something like that to control if the speed governors take effect.
