Speed limits in school zones because kids think fast cars are cool.
If parents could drive faster their kids would get to school quicker and they could start learning earlier
And stop learning earlier. Much earlier. And forever.
I've always joked that if we up the speed limit in school zones we'd end up with kids who are either smart enough not to run out into traffic, or strong enough to take on a speeding truck. In either case it would be a win for natural selection.
