I have the right to go the speed limit.

The highest speed limit in my state is 80 mph.

I never took a driving test, except a written test for my permit. I then took driver's education with my parents.

I consider myself a pretty good driver.

Last week there was a car going the speed of traffic on a safe highway under construction. The driver lost control, went over a lane, went through a barrier, and killed a construction worker.

Speed limits are set based on the construction of the road, and while it is normally fine to go over, there is always a chance it's not.

As a police officer told a Priest friend of mine, "How much guilt would you feel if you ran into someone and killed him?" May not be a construction worker, but how do you know there's not going to be anyone there?
