I'm an advocate of getting rid of speed limits completely. Rather than having speed limit signs, post signs that suggest the highest speed for reasonably safe driving. If there is an accident that causes you or someone else damage, the court can use those signs as a way to say that you went against better judgment and assign a greater punishment. I'd love to know what the best speed to drive at is, rather than having the posted speed limit be the speed at which no one drives except when the police are around.

The punishment idea never really seems to deter drivers, and it has one critical flaw: the punishment for driving like a maniac and causing a 10-car pileup that killed a whole bunch of people is already that you didn't survive it either. Getting bad drivers killed along with several other innocent people is not an acceptable way to solve the problem of road safety.
