Question

If you are writing an essay in favor of imposing stricter sentences on people who speed, which is a counterargument you might anticipate? Speeders threaten the safety of all drivers. Law enforcement resources should be focused on violent crimes. People who speed are also more likely to drive recklessly.

Answer 1

Driving recklessly and speeding are entirely different things. You are still in control of the vehicle whilst speeding, and you may be doing it to get up a hill or to pass a semi truck in front of you. The majority of the time someone speeds, they have a reason. Driving recklessly is driving without empathy for other drivers, and purposefully driving fast and crazy. We should give speeders a chance to explain why they did, and then decide wether or not they deserve a ticket
