you need it to be more powerful because we don't all want to wait 3 years to get to 60. There is no law against acceleration. when overtaking the more powerful the car teh quicker you are out of danger.

Powerful (and fast) cars can also be used on private tracks as well as public roads.

I choose to run around in an estate car just like Neil. It does the equivilant of 50 mpg just like Neils, it will carry as much if not more weight than Neils and pull heavier trailers than Neils. It also happens o have 200bhp and do 0-60 in 8 and a bit seconds. Unlike my bike that does it in ~3 seconds. on the motorway if there is a situation I have a choice, I can accelerate very quickly from 70-90 temporarily OR brake, Neil only has one option. Which is safer? I know what my 1st choice would be.

Speed limiters will not cut accidents as idiots will just drive against teh limiter just like wagons do now irrespective of if its safe to do so. Speed does NOT kill, INAPPROPRIATE speed Kills!
