What would really make this interesting would be to get some sort of metrics from MP in regards to issued citations and see what the spread is year to year, including current year to see what the trending data looks like. Crappy weather this year may skew the numbers down a bit, but in the interest of being objective it takes a review of physical evidence.
I honestly think that much of this debate, like any other is based solely on feeling or a single incident taken out of context. While all of us have our opinions, it tends to make a much stronger case if one's opinion is supported by actual numbers.
While I may support the idea of a speed limit, if the metrics don't show any kind of improvement then the law is obviously not working and therefore is not worthwhile. I do think that this should be reviewed over the course of several years, not a single season.
