because of ignorance.
Speed is the only factor that should be legislated.
If safety is the real concern, enforce the speed limit.
Should we make road racing bikes and riding in groups illegal as well?
It's a slippery slope of red tape and expense when personal responsibility and enforcement of current laws are being neglected. The answer is not to add more legislation.
