And again, individual driver capability applies in empty road situation. We all need to slow down for traffic.
But blanket speed limit is not a right approach. Period.
Ticket for cutting people off, not paying attention or accidents? Sure.
Ticket for 20 over on an empty road? Nope.

Listen, everything you're saying is true, but this is the USA, not Germany, and that type of thing simply won't work here. It's a flaw in the system that has been there from the beginning, and it generates too much revenue to change it.
Yes, I said revenue is the problem, always has been, and always will be.
Imagine, if you will, just for a moment, that to get a driver's license in the USA you had to...yearly...
1. Pass a strict written test 100%
2. Pass a strict drivers test 100%
3. Pass a strict spacial awareness test.
4. Pass a drug test.
5. Pass a hearing test.
6. Pass a vision test.
Doing that would take 50% of the people off the road in a heartbeat, and make the other 50% much better drivers. It would also fix 30% of our environmental issue, and probably 80% of our accident and insurance issue.
But it won't make the money, so it'll never happen.
