The vendor has an incentive to cheat and collect more revenue for themselves and the mafioso government leeches.

Learn to use your cruise control, even on 25 mph side streets. As a side benefit you will arrive at your destination much more relaxed. Driving on government roads has become a game where the government wins money when you break the rules. A special satisfaction comes when a government hireling gets stuck behind you doing the speed limit. They go bananas.

If the AI surveillance state is not stopped, eventually such monitoring and automatic punishment will extend to all aspects of life.

Anything perceived negative by the latest fad corporate “science” will be outlawed at barrel of a robot gun.

“Are you baking a cookie Mr Wilson? You’re exceeding your calorie allowance for the day. Please put it down for the good of society. Being a sick burden is not a victimless crime.”

I drive 40-50,000 miles a year. I absolutely hate cruise control. It’s not relaxing at all.

Frankly, I really enjoy driving and almost never am not relaxed.

Read up on their strict laws about owning a car there. Americans would never stand for the requirements!

[The Antiyuppie]

It’s called necklacing, and you put gas and a rag at the bottom of the tire. Cooks electronics good.

The people who develop these technologies should be treated like ISIS bomb makers

Before I retired, I was a software engineer. But now, whenever I see terms like "high-tech," "STEM," "software," "data," etc., nothing but bad connotations pop into my mind.

For those who aren't mad enough yet, read this:

We already give up our privacy to use phones, why not with cars too?

Never speed in residential or where kids are, but otherwise I drive by the Prima Facie speed law. If the road is wide open, clear and in good repair, the vehicle also, why not enjoy the road?

And I find incontinence a much better excuse!

Where in Montana did you get ticketed?

How much over?

I live North of YNP and am curious...I know of one school zone that requires cars to slow to 55 MPH when the yellow lights are flashing...

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I agree.

Haha! My wife calls me "that guy."

My rules are simple: 1) don't inconvenience or endanger other drivers; and 2) use all available space.

Most DC drivers violate those rules every time they drive.

About 20 miles west of Butte. 93 in an 80

[BBB333]

That’s too bad.

I usually take 7-8 MPH on the interstate. The Troopers don’t like 90+.

Hope it’s not too much of a fine.

Best to you.
