That's where I don't agree. I believe that safety regulations and laws are put in place to protect even the biggest idiot.

I'm not sure if you know about other work safety regulations, but there are some RIDICULOUS safety procedures that are put in place that are there to make sure that even the biggest idiot can navigate safely in the working environment.

Sure, you might be absolutely fine travelling 70 km/h on most of our road ways. However, 10% of the population isn't. Therefore, the speed is set at 50 km/h. I believe rightfully so...

Actions that you think are safe and reasonable may not be safe and reasonable for some portion of drivers. Which actually creates quite a big hazard for our roadways....
