Seriously, Why Are Cars Made Faster Then They Can Go?
As cars step-up in technology so does the speed of each and every vehicle, but why does this happen? I mean there are literally a huge amount of laws around which state high speed driving is illegal, but still manufacturers create cars that travel fast. Lets take a quick look.
Government Money
What a better way to get money from the whole population by keep on giving them fines by driving too fast. The government in every land make billions of pounds every single year by fining people for breaking the speeding boundary, would it not be easier to alternatively limit these cars so they cannot go at high speeds, this would also help save lives.
The Sale
The vehicle manufacturers realise that they need to appeal to a busy population. Most drivers, especially males love to drive fast cars. They love to have quick acceleration speeds as well. So the manufacturers need to cater for these people too. Can you imagine if a company such as Ferrari decided to make slow cars? I mean the company would probably end up filing for bankruptcy.
To sum up I believe that creating cars faster then they are allowed to go is a silly idea, its a bit like saying no smoking allowed in a building except for one. Would it literally not be more effective limiting these cars to a certain speed level and having authority figures such as Police cars be able to exceed it. This would not only end high speed car chases, but it would assist in saving a mass of lives.
This will never occur though as the globe is more interested with making money, rather than caring for society.
