Para 1: This is an essay about speed limits, specifically the reasons why speed limits are necessary and why some argue against them.
Para 2: First, consider the advantages of speed limits:
a. Saves gas
b. Saves lives
c. Police get to make money from speed traps.
d. Safer roads for kids and old people.
Para 3: Second, consider the advantages of not having speed limits, or increasing the speed limits:
a. Burn more gas, more money for the oil companies.
b. More people will die, yeah, yeah, we have too many people anyway
c. Police will have to find some other way to make money, like taxes
d. We'll get rid of a lot of kids and older people
e. When driving long distances cross country, the journey will be shorter
Para 4: Consider para 2 and 3 together: Yes, we save gas, but gas is plentiful. Yes, it saves lives, but some of those fools need to die anyway...Etc. Etc.
Para 5: In this essay, I have considered the pros and cons of eliminating speed limits. From the considerations I have discussed here, I think speed limits should (or should not) be eliminated.

I can't think of any good reasons off the top of my head to eliminate the speed limits except maybe to ensure that paramedics have job security. Some good reasons to keep the speed limits might include the cost in human life. You might consider researching the number of fatalities per annum in the US that are speed related. You can probably find some good statistics related to an increase in the number of fatalities and serious injuries after the speed limits were raised back in the 90's. You can probably also find some good statistics showing a decrease in the number of fatalities and serious injuries when the speed limits were lowered in I think it was the 70's. That was a little before my time. As far as the financial costs involved you can research the cost of emergency medical care, the loss of productivity, and for patients that survive the ongoing cost of medical care secondary to their collision.
Another reason not to eliminate speed limits would be environmental. You can probably make a good arguement and find some decent statistics on the increased rate of fuel consumption for higher speeds as well an increase in emissions levels.
You might even considering making a small diversion in your paper and arguing for the reduction of speed limits and demonstrate how financially and environmentally the country would benefit.
I hope this helps give you a nudge in the right direction.

why are you so lazy?
For is easy - go with that.
Speed limits help cops raise money for the state by handing out tickets. Safty reasons - could go on and on about those. It's easy - just focus.

Sounds like a pretty light sentence from the judge.
Maybe you should take responsability.

Why are there so many people just being lazy and wanting other people on Yahoo!answers to do their homework for them?

You should do your own homework instead of trying to cheat like this.
