>>>The 1-car-length-per-10-mph idea *is* subject to adjustment either way for:

1) Condition and ability of vehicle and driver
2) Vehicle being followed.
3) Road conditions
4) Other vehicles involved.

Actually, I mispoke, it is 1 SECOND following distance for every ten MPH. We treat driving laws like illegals treat no entry signs. Just coz everyone does it dont make it right.

Doesn’t necessarily make it wrong, either. (See Prohibition.)

Basically, what it does boil down to is that if 85% of the people are violating a law, perhaps it is worthwhile to revisit why the law was passed in the first place, and perhaps decide whether the law needs to remain in place (see: California’s 85th Percentile Speed Law - one of the ONLY common-sense laws to come out of CA).

National sovereignty is another matter entirely.

Let me remind you faster than sense drivers that if you don't like the laws,there are ways to change them.You all think because you have a faster car that the traffic laws don't apply.I laugh when some supercharged idiot blows by me and I see him at the side of the road with a police car.

If you consistently break the traffic laws then you are just another selfish liberal.

What really angers me is the fast driving idiots that won't allow a slower vehicle to change lanes.Ever found yourself with cars blowing by both sides in total disregard of your signaling your intention to move over?

I wish for an automatic $1000 fine for anyone found driving on public roads with any of the so-called "lane discipline",MOVE RIGHT,MOVE OVER,etc. stickers,decals, or paint jobs.

The public roads aren't your private raceways;learn to follow the rules.I have just a little respect for aggresive drivers as for people who shove ahead in the ticket line or lunch counter.
