Please see the below section of the State Vehicle code. This basic rule is what most people follow.
§291C-101 Basic rule. No person shall drive a vehicle at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent and having regard to the actual and potential hazards and conditions then existing. Consistent with the foregoing, every person shall drive at a safe and appropriate speed when approaching and crossing an intersection or railroad grade crossing, when approaching and going around a curve, when approaching a hill crest, when traveling upon any narrow or winding roadway, and when special hazards exist with respect to pedestrians or other traffic, or by reason of weather or highway conditions. [L 1971, c 150, pt of §1; am L 1977, c 8, §1]
Let's also let the drivers determine their "reasonable and safe" level of alcohol consumption. I mean who understands their drinking ability better than the drinker?
A "reasonable and safe" amount of texting sould also be decided by commuters. This would allow people to leave for their destination later, and save time by communicating on the fly. It's perfectly reasonable to text that you're going to be late, but will try and make up time by speeding.
Are you trying to be funny or sarcastic?
Let the people decide!
