I'm sure it won't be anything like the taxes imposed on yacht charters. It couldn't possibly decimate the financial services industry in exactly the same way it did boating.
Speed is not the cause of any of these accidents. Bad driving is the cause of the accidents. Not wearing a seat belt is the cause of death. In many places in Europe their highways are de-restricted, with no formal speed limit, but despite this, have far lower rates of fatal accidents. Drivers pay attention, and are belted in. A 35mph accident can be deadly for an occupant not wearing a seat belt, while the same accident at 85 while wearing a seatbelt could be walked away from.
Put down the cell phone, and put on the seat belt. The rate of fatal accidents would drop tenfold overnight.
