Yeah, they thought it would make people drive slower cause the people
were supposed to think that their car didn't go any faster. Instead,
people used that as an excuse ("But how am I supposed to know I was going
100, my speedometer only goes to 85") and getting away with it. I thought
this was nifty cause my first car, an 82 model, speedometer was made under
this law.
