Gee, I think most people can see that a speed limit just might cut down on "excessive speed".
I think it is clear that one of the major reasons to enact a speed limit is to reduce the number of accidents involving excessive speed. You call that spin?

You are so dedicated to standing behind the proposed law that you aren't even willing to be objective anymore. Excessive speed is not over 45 MPH. It is traveling at any rate of speed greater than whatever the current situation may deem safe or prudent. No speed limit in the world can account for excessive speed, that is purely common sense. So I for one cannot "see" that a speed limit will do anything to reduce the number of accidents that are the result of no common sense.
