I love to imagine a United States that never figured out how to make cars go above like 30mph. The public transit! The cities unbound from freeways! The lives saved!

DEATH BEGINS AT 40

Cover of Travelers Insurance brochure, c. 1938, featuring an illustration of three cars racing toward each other on a speedway configured in the form of the numeral 40, with the phrase "Death Begins at" written above, plus a picture of a speedometer dial with the needle pointing to 40. From the New York Public Library collections.
Page from a Travelers Insurance brochure, c. 1938, featuring an illustration of a car pictured from overhead with a helpless man in the passenger's seat and a billowing black cape coming from the driver's seat (suggesting a personified Death), and the slogan written above: "You Change Drivers at 40"

. From the New York Public Library collections.

Honestly? Because people kept speeding so they raised the speed limits. It’s infuriating.
