A government study that indicates that 85% of the people on the road will drive at a reasonable speed regardless of the speed limit. The other 15% aren't obeying your laws already, and your speed limits aren't affecting their desire to drive really fast. Why inconvenience the rest of us when your bullshit laws aren't doing what they are designed to do?
Additionally, when the speed limits were repealed in Montana a few years ago:

This begs the question, do people change the way they drive when there is no speed limit? The evidence suggests the answer is yes. The measured vehicle speeds only changed a few miles per hour as predicted - comparable to data collected from other western states. What changed? The two most obvious changes were improved lane courtesy and increased seat belt use. Did other driving habits and patterns change as well?

Improved lane courtesy without speed limits, imagine that. Your argument that lack of limits leads to chaos is without historical precedent, as exactly the opposite has been observed.
