Articles, etc. That Avoid the Speeding Issue
One of the things that aggravates me more than artificially low speed limits
is public opinion on the speed limits and speeding in general. Most americans
speed but tell there children not too. I have read one article after another
where the person writing the article clearly believes speeding is ok however
they won't admit it, they will tell the reader they don't recommend speeding
but what they do is up to them. In response I am presenting this list of
articles, etc. that try to avoid or muddle down the issue of speed limits
and speeding. I am not talking about nonbiast articles on the issue I am
talking about articles where the author clearly has a view point (and/or speeds
himself) however but avoids stating that speeding is ok or that speed limits
are set artificially low. While I at I will also make this of list of newspapers
etc that still are on the side of the anti speed limiters.
I strongly encourage you to write to the authors of these articles and ask them
why they are trying to avoid the issue. Ask them if there are trying to be
"politically correct" or what and in general give them a hard time.
Boardwatch Magazine (Nov95): Babb's Bookmarks: The WWW Speedtrap Registry
by Chris Babb, chris.babb@aquila.com, pg 39
In this review of the WWW Speedtrap Registry Chris clearly states that he has
a radar detector however at the same time he clearly avoids saying that speed
limits are artificially low. He instead states, "With some local yokels using
speed traps as a cash cow and actually having the gall to stop people for
going 1 mph over the posted limit (ridiculous but true), the need for a site
like this is real."
