Then maybe the commuter trains in the US will actually make a profit.

Now if my car only goes 15 MPH, it would take me 3 hours to get to work and
I would take the train. Oops, there is no train between here and there.

How about a Segway for all the commutes less than 4 miles or so? And at 12
MPH, no need for the spike. :^)

In my opinion, seat belts and air bags have had a detrimental effect on road
saftey. All such devices should be outlawed, to be replaced with an 8 inch
steel spike sticking out of the centre of the steering wheel.

I recon the maximum speed anyone would do would be about 15MPH. Pedestrians
would be able to go about their business in absolute saftey.
