Maybe different license levels required to buy/own/drive vehicles with different capabilities ( size, top speed, etc). I go to the doctor, grocery shopping, eat out once a week, occasionally go to Ocala. For me to buy a corvette, mustang, Porsche would be throwing money away, since I very seldom have the opportunity to drive over 55mph legally.
There are already different classes of licenses for motorcycles and for larger vehicles.

But rather than have a different license level for top speed, why not just legislate that ALL vehicles have a governor limiting the top speed to 75mph? If there are roads where the limit is higher they are few and far between. Most roads have limits less than 75mph already so we could even consider a lower number. Let's not wait until someone else is killed, let's reduce or eliminate the problem now!
