Cars going too fast in town, even if they aren't killing children, intimidate pedestrians and cyclists. Speeding cars muscle people not in cars out of the street. You can't also predict bad luck. There's always a change that a drunk stumbles in the street or a dog sprints across. Slower drivers may be able to stop in time, faster drivers won't. Plus, it's bad form, driving too fast for conditions is uncivilized and sets a bad example. Cars could go faster on highways as long as they're respectful of other drivers who might not go as fast, why not. But driving too fast in town is criminal, just as bad as waving your rifle around when going hunting. And to be clear, drivers are bad judges of what constitutes a safe speed. fwiw, it's often much lower than the speed limit.
