   So you don't really think that "speed limits can't be set too low" after all...   
      
   So if not zero, how about 10mph?   
      
   Would YOU obey it on a trip to Kelowna if the limit was set to 16kph   
   and the trip was therefore going to take 24 hours of driving, and thus   
   at LEAST two days to get there?   
      
   Is THAT too low?
