Some laws are premised on illogic, i.e., it is the vehicle and not the driver that is liable for violation of the speeding laws.
Yes, the legislature is often to blame for insanity. Nothing new there.
For about half a century, I have been suspect of the LOGIC involved with statements such as “speed kills”. Inappropriate speed, uneducated, or inexperienced speed, speed in excess of what might be called sane for the conditions, all might kill but only if their is an accident.
And, speaking of accidents, that is another subject I take issue with. There is no such thing as an accident. That word accident might refer to intentions of those involved in vehicle mayhem, but it surely does not refer to the reasons.
Oh I could go on but highway mayhem is a subject for another day. Needless to say, 50,000 deaths a year is far far far in excess of what should be.
