Your own logic is so impaired as to be nearly useless in this situation.
Consider, for a moment, facts. Fact: 25 years ago, a 2-ton sled with no
airbag, no shoulder belt, no anti-lock brakes, no crumple zones, no radial
tires, and no fuel-efficient engine was legally allowed to cruise at 70 miles
per hour, or faster (so I'm told).
Now, contrast that with today. Modern vehicles have all of the above safety
features, far more efficient engines, and a more developed interstate highway
system. Yet it is considered unsafe for them to exceed 55mph (or 65, as the
case may be).
Now consider another afront to logic: seven or eight years ago, all highways
were considered "safe" at 55mph. Then, suddenly, those very same highways
driven by those very same people in the very same manner were deemed "safe" at
65mph by good 'ole John Lawman. Did some sweeping safety device come into play
that magically made this possible? No. The law just bowed to sense, which is,
I admit, an odd thing for it to do since it does it so irregularly.
Now, every day in my commute to work, I catch up to people like you.
Apparently, you must be immortal, because you seem to have no grasp of the
passage of time. Time is the ONLY resource available that we can't get more of
in some form or fashion. I don't cherish spending it in a car.
So, if you want to drive at 55mph or 65mph, you just go right ahead. Stay in
the damned right lane where sheep belong. Perhaps you are so insecure about
your abilities to operate a motor vehicle that you don't feel capable of
performing this duty, to which I answer: take public transportation and stop
making the rest of us pay for your handicap.
I have a 1994 Camaro Z/28 which is capable of nearly 160mph, and I have had it
there on occasion on a state-patrolled highway. I routinely drive at 80mph or
more, traffic permitting. I wish I could spit in the face of every "policeman"
that hides behind a radar/laser gun in attempt to enforce a law that 97% of the
American public does not support, obey, or condone and to which the police
themselves do not obey. And I wish there was a way I could kick every lackey
politician out of office who supports this inane and criminal law for the
solitary purpose of profiteering.
Of course, as long as there exists drivel such as you that can't seem to figure
out which lane he/she belongs in, it seems the rest of us are going to have to
pay for your inadequacies and insecurities.
Feel free to respond. I have a lot more ammunition to throw at your pitiful
argument.
