The point is if something happens you are less likely to be able to avoid the situation at that speed. If a kid runs out and you are going 45 in a 25 zone you have alot less chance to stop/avoid the kid. The police don't want everyone going at 30mph over the speed limit because it means more accidents...and who has to do all the cleaning up after carnage...the police are deffinately involved in that. The police are there to protect and serve...they want to protect your life, so they set and enforce speed limits (sometimes a little too low though) to reduce the chances of you killing yourself on the roads.
