Why is 75 more correct? There are plenty of major highways with 80mph limits.

Furthermore, speed limits are changed regularly. There are still cars on the road that were sold when we had lower national speed limits.

Because any amount of inaccurate measurement would mean they were technically going over the limit. You'd have to put a little pad in it.

I didn't propose anything related to existing cars.

I don't think it is reasonable nor do people want to buy cars that won't even go the speed limit.

I am saying that your proposal(s) will be obsolete after the car is sold. Because speed limits change and cars move to different places over time.

If it could be waived at time of sale, this would just be a part of pre-deliver paperwork that dealers have everyone sign. Dealers don't wan't headaches of people coming back ticked off that their car won't do the speed limit. You're not mandating safety, you're mandating a new piece of paperwork.
