Yeah I think this is the kind of thing that would actually happen -- people would have to actually confront what speed limits were/should be more practically.

My other comment was a little more pessimistic (as the probability that people don't get outraged enough to set practical limits is non-zero) -- but it would be nice if people took more of a critical/practical view towards the current speed limits, and whether they reflect the abilities of modern cars (and their own tolerances for receiving tickets).
