I state "most people" simply because a large part of our economy, both directly and indirectly, is based upon the automotive industry; the principal that people can get from A to B as they see fit. The principal that you can go where the work is.
The knock on affect of what you are stating is increased food prices, lower tax revenues and therefore higher taxes, vastly reduced car sales and therefore mass unemployment, restrictive employment opportunities and many more. All in the name of allowing you to drive faster (sorry, making the roads safer).
As I have stated, it is a tradeoff between practicality and safety.
