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?

Your basic reading comprehension skills are beyond horrible. You take a very generic statement from an article that is light on data, and somehow this justifies the need for a speed limit?

When you break down the actual data behind the statistics, as was done above, you see that "speed" is not a primary (or even secondary or tertiary, etc.) factor in these accidents. Yet you continue to prattle on about how a speed limit will somehow make the the lake safer and better.

Throughout ALL of these speed limit threads you have presented nothing beyond pure emotion and hype to back up your claims.
