Write a paragraph for the following prompt: The speed limit on the interstate in Arkansas has been raised to 75 mph.
Do you think that was a good idea? Why or why not?
*Prior to this the speed limit was 70 mph.

Answer:

It was not a good idea to raise the speed limit to 75mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you raise the speed limit, you permit people to drive at higher speeds. When people drive at higher speeds, the likelihood of accidents occurring increases. As of 2019, the death for every 100 million vehicle miles traveled for Arkansas was 1.36. The highest at that time was 1.73 for South Carolina.
