Topic says it all. What is the logical reason a car needs to be able to go over 90mph? First responder/emergency vehicles not included of course

'l'll just check my Giveashitometer....Nope. Nothing...
What I've never understood is the fact that small cars that are picked by young drivers these days, can easily do 130mph, and because they're light are more affected by winds and road conditions at those high of speed.
Young males driving 4up (young people onboard) in a more 'sporty' or modified vehicle have always been one of the biggest causes of accidents. I think limiting new drivers to what ever the maximum speed limit is a sensible precaution. "Denial is a common tactic that substitutes deliberate ignorance for thoughtful planning."

Because this is America, and we like speed, amongst other stuff.
A better question is… With the amazing safety enhancements of a modern day vehicle, why aren’t the speed limits raised to 90?

Why ?
Because it's not about safety. It's never been about safety. It's about expensive 700 hp cars that will do 200 mph that make a profit for the companies so that dumbass 25 year old can look cool and waste 2/3 of his check on a car payment and so that nice policeman can give massively expensive tickets and make money for the state and the insurance companies can ass rape you every month. The courts could give you Community Service that would actually help the Community, but they'd rather have your money than actually do something that helps.
