Ok, let's explore this a bit more then.

Why not limit the amount of alcohol available in drinks? yes yes i know, alcohol doesn't kill people but what it does do is impare judgement. People get all drinky and drivey and mow over a pedestrian or smash into a family car. Do people need to drink?

Why, in a country where the maximum posted speed limit you can legally travel is 110 km/h, do they allow the purchase of vehicle that are so powerful they can blow past that limit in under 7 seconds? How many accidents/deaths are caused due to "excessive speeds'? Why not limit the top speed of cars to say, 120 km/h, no more? Do people need 500HP supercharged engines?

What would your thoughts be on the goverment imposing the above in the name of public safety?

If you are as serious about saving lives as you seem to be, what are your thoughts on the above scenarios? I mean if it saves but just one life, would it not be worth it?
