    Perhaps ...

    In the best interest of the economy of this country ... we lower the speed limit.

    1. More revenue gained by way of fines. (tax lowered ???)
    2. More Police needed to enforce the limit set. (even more revenue)
    3. Because everybody is traveling at a safe speed ... ACC levies are lowered.

    In regards to the problem with reflected light off rain and street lamps and all that these may be a solution.

    ...i do all my night driving while the sun is out...the idea came to me after reading about the Irish astronauts who are going to attempt a landing on the sun...to save money on all that heat shield technology that would burn them up, they have decided to go at night...

    That sounds like me. And one of the reasons why I like lights that show up the sides of the road as well as the centre for quite some distance ahead, and tyres that handle gravel are also a bonus. Mind you I would go faster on seal during the day if it wasn't for the high cost of donut vouchers.
