Nef, I agree with you except for one important point: Good drivers hit less things, so your equation is irrelevant.
Dumbing down driving with excessively low speed limits reduces overall driver competency. That's where we're headed.
Did you guys know that they intend to pass (or already have) a law requiring all cars to have adaptive cruise control that is always on. That's right. You won't be ABLE to tailgate, the car won't let you. They will restrict you to 2 second gaps. This will cause traffic chaos, as older cars without the system constantly cut into your space, causing your car to decelerate.
It will also take away one more thing from drivers. Now our only responsibility will be to "keep it between the lines". We'll be able to play racing games on our PSP's while driving. ;)
