These limits are put in place (ostensibly) to keep everyone safe. They don't lead to tighter restrictions - if anything, the opposite is true.

Two examples: Recreational use of pot is now legal in at least 1 state. The speed limit has gone UP, not down, since the 1970s.

This "slippery slope" argument is silly.
