I read a study that seemed to conclude that speed limits in fact don't save lives, for the reasons I've already mentioned. If there were no speed limits, would you drive wildly out of control? A speed limit doesn't prohibit someone from travelling faster than a posted number, it simply punishes them if they are caught. Much like drug prohibition.
