But not the last. The last will be that everyone is forced to have them.
Just wait for my lawsuit when it fails and limits my car to 5 MPH on the freeway.
0 is a powerful number,,
Future premier of Alberta?
It would be ironic if he would cash in the chips while trying to speed around a slow truck....
Recall that during the Carter Administration, the head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Joan Claybrook seriously proposed that cars exceeding the government’s generous speed limit of 55 MPH would automatically have their horns start to honk and the headlights would flash.
It never ends even if the players change over time.
smile when you say that.
saving the world one rule at a time
This is an example of why politicians should be neutered
The jerk probably drives 10 mph under the speed limit... in the left lane.
Only place I don't want to see it is in my rear view mirror.
Yeah, great idea. You’re passing someone, they speed up a bit as you do, you see a car is coming the other way toward you, you step on the gas to finish passing and get back over to the right, and all of a sudden you lose control of your car.
Great idea.
Governor Corzine of New Jersey should hire this transport manager to service the NJ State Police automobiles. You know, just to make sure the Governor obeys the speed limits.
For the life of me, I can’t figure out why all of the leaders of the free world are all demented morons.
They've held focus groups on why people speed
And when they figured out the obvious answer, which is that speed limits are set purely for revenue generation and are unrelated to safety, they undoubtedly made sure the results would never be seen by the public.
Ya know, every 3 years I attend a 6 hour 'course' which upon completion grants me a 10% insurance reduction or 3 point violation reduction. Since I've never had any 'points' put on my license (knock on wood), I attend this thing for the 10% insurance reduction.
Almost every time that I've seen this course, they run a bunch of numbers which state that driving 40mph in a 30mph zone only gains a millisecond or two. Which is far from the truth, have these 'instructors' actually driven on congested urban roads before? Sometimes that extra 10mph will get ya thru a known long red light intersection while the light is still green, sometimes it will get you thru a railroad crossing before the gates come down and there is a 5 minute delay while the train does its thing on the train tracks.
Just food for thought, thats all
Tightening up the standard a bit is the only issue.
