Editorialist: Some people argue that highway speed limits should be increased to reflect the actual average speeds of highway drivers, which are currently 10 to 20 percent higher than posted speed limits. ███ ████ ████████ █████ ███████ ████████ ███████ ███████ ████████ ██ ████ ██████████ ████████ ██████ ███████ ███████ ██████ █████ ███████ █████ ████ ██████ ████ ███████ ███ █████████ ███████ ██████ █████ ██████ █████ ████ ██████ █████ ██████ ███ ███████ ███ ████ ███████ █████ ██████ █████ ██████ ████████ █████ ██████
Summarize Argument
The editorialist concludes that raising highway speed limits would greatly decrease highway safety, even though it would better reflect actual average driving speeds. Why? Because raising the speed limit would increase the average driving speed. This is because people who currently obey the limit would increase their speed to the new limit, while people who currently speed wouldn't slow down.
Notable Assumptions
The editorialist assumes that highway safety decreases when people drive faster—in other words, that average speed alone is a strong factor in safety, and that there are no safety benefits to a speed limit that better matches actual driving speeds.
