I know I have a lead foot. I believe that all limits should be increased.
Cars are made today with better handling capabilities, so they can handle
higher speeds. I am all for up-ing th limits. But with that comes res-
ponsibility. We all need to be more careful drivers, but I guess that
won't happen. I have had my share of close calls by idiots who don't
know what a turn signal or mirror is. Sometimes I wish I had a truck
and could just ram every @#$@^ who almost kills someone before they
eventually do.
I go at least 60 in a 55, over 30 in a 25, etc you get the picture.
I have gotten one ticket (Mass Pike driving my sister's 1995 Saturn doing
79 in a 65) I believe I was most likely snared while I was passing a truck
that was spraying my windshield with water mist (damp road).
Enough babbling. You get the picture. And if you see a 91 Tercel
coming up fast, GET OUT OF MY WAY!!! ;) (Hey, if the car can handle
it without risk of losing control or hitting anyone, by all means do it)
