Re: Solve speeding by limiting cars!



Humm. The speed limit use to be 55. Now it's 65. Tomorrow it will 
something else. I think this is a crummy idea.  Cars get older and less 
effecient. How are you going to limit the speed? What about older cars? 
Imorted cars? What about passing?

Right after the 55 MPH speed limit was passed, I was pulled over by a 
highway patrolman for blocking traffic. I was doing 55 in a 70 MPH zone. 
I said it wasn't legal to go 70. He said that under the basic spped law, 
I had to drive at a SAFE speed, and going 55 when everyone else is going 
70 was NOT safe.

Once I had a sick VW and it could go very fast. I almost got squished by 
a semi getting one the freeway. It would have been nice to be able to get 
up to the same speed as the traffic. As it was, I was only ran off the road.

Crummy idea that will probably get more people killed than it would save.
