You can't prove it.And this is a good thing.

The issue is driving distracted. Now, that could be due to a cell phone but just as easily from someone eating or drinking while driving. How about reading something or women putting on makeup? Reading a map or reaching for that CD that slid under the passenger seat could do the trick too.

This is why specific laws against cell phones are not completely effective. They are dealing with a symtom and not the issue. The issue is attitude and focus! People need to be ingrained by our culture, parents and educators that driving is not a guarenteed right but a precious priviledge and you need to do it carefully and responsibly. And, IF you have skilled and well trained drivers the speed limit could be raised or completely done away with.

The problem is not the speed but the lousy drivers.
I myself fall asleep if I have to drive 75mph for hours on an Autopista.
So I try to drive on normal roads, where 75mph is way more challenging. That is usually above the limit. But I must say I am 100% concentrated on the driving and thinking on nothing else.My wife shuts up also.
I enjoy driving fast and taking corners swiftly.I watch the guy in front of me, the guy behind and all the cars around me to see what they are doing.
Being a motorcycle driver I also read the road and drive accordingly
Sometimes I see accidents and can not figure out what the driver did to bring the wreck in that final position.
Over 50% of drivers just turn the wheel and the car drives.
At the least problem they do not know what to do and usually do the wrong thing.
Trafic laws today are made to bring the rules to the level that the average moron can cope with and stay alive.
When I was a student in Germany I developed a good sense of knowing where radar traps might be and I always drive scanning the road ahead for all type of trouble. I never got a speeding ticket on open roads despite driving always over the limit.
I think there should be different kinds of drivers licenses. The ones for the beginners and absolutely inadaptables. The ones for the average drivers and a license for the good drivers who take regular driving exams and get practice on skidpads and track. Speed limits should be set for each driver license type.
But since speeding tickets are just another way of income for the state, things are kept as they are now.
Advocating that speed limits are good can only come from people who are not very good drivers or do not like to drive, who just are fearful of everything with the slightest risk or have gotten old mentally.
Some may feel offended, but that is the naked truth.
