That's why we're hampered by speed limits on interstate highways.

Its worth pointing out that in Germany there are no speed limits in certain areas on the open highway. Now, there is a different set of rules for passing, there are different liability rules, it is generally harder to get a drivers license there and because of a mature public transportation system fewer people there own cars - in general I'd prefer a system that biases toward freedom and personal responsibility rather than a system that biases toward regulation of everyone based on the lowest common denominator or worst case scenario.
