Best Answer

Some ancient cities had limits to the speed horses and chariots could move within those cities. Usually walking pace, which is about four mile per hour.

This was also the case in some countries when engine driven vehicles were introduced. Someone had to walk in front of the vehicle with a flag or lantern.

Do you lose your license for going seventeen miles over the speed limit in Texas?

Not for a first offense possibly. Depends upon the other circumstances, too. Say, if the speed limit was 35 and it was snowing heavily, one could receive a ticked for going the posted limit as that would be way too fast for the conditions. Just because there is a posted speed limit, the keyword here is "limit", that is the fastest speed that is allotted for that road ... it is not the 'required' speed to travel.
