The argument is most vulnerable to the criticism that it takes for granted that
highway traffic has not increased over the past year
the majority of drivers obeyed the new speed limit
there is a relation between driving speed and the number of automobile accidents
the new speed limit was more strictly enforced than the old
the number of traffic fatalities the year before the new speed limit was introduced was not abnormally high
