When 00R's driving through New York City, he questions every once and a while, "what's the speed limit?" There aren't any speed postings -- that I have noted -- nor does there appear to be any observed limit since that cabbie just blew past at 60 mph.

If that's the case, why not just make the speed limit 10 and we'll take it back to the early 1900s so everyone can live a much more peaceful life?

What say you, Spies? Is this rational or should we take a more Darwin-like approach to this situation?
