Just when you thought there were no parts of your life not already under the thumb of the federal government, a new idea emerges.

This time it comes from the National Transportation Safety Board and it involves outsiders having control of the gas pedal in your car.

While you're driving, of course.

The proposal from the NTSB is to install "intelligent speed assistance" tech in all cars, a system that uses a car's GPS location and local speed limit postings "to help ensure safe and legal speeds."

It is dangerous.

Big Brother in the backseat. https://www.ntsb.gov/news/press-releases/Pages/NR20231114.aspx This is NTSB recommendations to the NHTSA: - Require ISA systems that, at a minimum, warn a driver a vehicle is speeding. - Educate the public about the benefits of ISA. - Update the guidelines for state highway safety programs to include identification and tracking of repeat speeding offenders. - Develop countermeasures to reduce repeat speeding offenses. - Conduct research and develop guidelines to assist states in implementing ISA interlock programs for repeat speeding offenders.

BIG BROTHER CAN KISS MY A$$ !!!!!

Authoritarianism.

“Big Brother wants to control the gas pedal in your car”

What could possibly go wrong? 🙄

[MayflowerMadam]

“This will kill people.”

For Big Brother, that would be a feature.

a system that uses a car's GPS location and local speed limit postings

My Grand Cherokee Jeep 'system' is constantly trying to get me to go 20 MPH in places clearly marked much higher than that.

Jeep© wants to charge me $150 to 'upgrade' my system.

And they suggest doing it yearly!

‘Self driving’ will make things SO much better and safer!

- Require ISA systems that, at a minimum, warn a driver a vehicle is speeding. - Educate the public about the benefits of ISA. - Update the guidelines for state highway safety programs to include identification and tracking of repeat speeding offenders. - Develop countermeasures to reduce repeat speeding offenses. - Conduct research and develop guidelines to assist states in implementing ISA interlock programs for repeat speeding offenders.

What the Left would like even more would be:

- Require ISA [ideological speech assistance] that, at a minimum, warns a person that a non-woke person is nearby.

- Educate the public about the benefits of ISA.

- Update the guidelines for state speech safety programs to include identification and tracking of repeat speeding offenders.

- Develop countermeasures to reduce repeat speech offenses.

- Conduct research and develop guidelines to assist states in implementing ISA incarceration lock programs for repeat speech offenders.

I'm not.

I think the trucking firms have set the governors to limit the speeds.

THIS is what causes side-by-side; for MILES sometimes!

Oh; and THIS...

[bamahead]

Lol. That would bankrupt every small town in America.

Naa. They'll just find other justifications for pulling you over.

AKA: "Papers please..."

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Small town police agencies will need to get a new racket when the ticket revenue dries up. I’m looking at you Oklahoma!

[nagant]

How’s that whole “servant of the people” thing working out?

[Eleutheria5]

Get Sheriff Bufford T. Justice on their tail.

[Eleutheria5]

Pays to buy used cars from a disreputable dealer, then.

One word. CELLPHONES. We gave the little bass turds cellphones.

One wonders what will happen to these children of ours should the SHTF.

So often they ask..."What time is it?"

My first thought is to respond.. "Gee, I don't know. You have a miniature SUPER COMPUTER in your pocket that has access to all the libraries in the world and has the TIME accurate in milliseconds for any location on the planet with that TIME conveniently displayed on it's video display SCREEN".... but then I just shortcut to telling them the time because it would be a waste of breath and involve concepts and words they don't understand.

More and more Liberal, Progressive, Big Red Communist Horde, Babushka, Red Hammer and Sickle Ruskie, Commie Red Vlad "the Impaler" Pukekin, Obammy & Biden Crime Syndicate Family, Der Fuehrer Klaus "A Hitler Youth Nazi" Schwabe of the WHO (World Hate (Jews) Organization), Muzzie HamasTerrorist Loving Dimocrats, BIG government lording over we, the so-called little people, whom they say we are: "desperately hanging on to our religious faith, guns, the flag, patriotic beliefs, military loving, freedom loving, God - Family - Country - Freedoms - MAGA, AND last and for the ONLY Nation created under Christian Judeo principals :

Romans Chapter 10:

(9)that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; (10)for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. (11)For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME.” (12)For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; (13)for “EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.”

(This what the Apostle Paul called "my Gospel which you are saved. (these following verses in 1st Corinthians Chapter 15) Which you will be judged: Romans Chap 2: (16) on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.

1st Corinthians Chapter 15:

(1)Now I make known to you, brothers and sisters, the gospel(FN1) which I preached to you, which you also received, in which you also stand, (2)by which you also are saved, if you hold firmly to the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. (3)For I handed down to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, (4)and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

FN1: Take note here, Paul says "THE" Gospel, NOT "A" Gospel or "ANOTHER" Gospel. Paul makes clear, this is THE, THE one and ONLY Gospel of Grace by which we must know to be saved. Yes, we admit we are a sinner and repeat a sinners prayer for salvation, Christ's hearing your sinners prayer and you coming to a saving faith by Grace!!

Ephesians Chap 2, verses 8 & 9: (8)"For by GRACE you have been saved through FAITH; and NOT of yourselves, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD!!; (9) NOT as a results of WORKS, so that no one may boast."

John Chap 14, verse 6:"Yeshua/Jesus said to him, I am THE WAY, and THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE"; "NO ONE (AND brothers, sisters & the lost reading here, I RE-emphasize again: NO ONE, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE) COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME (YESHUA / JESUS)."

Nothing else need be said. This covers how we gain salvation by Yeshua/Jesus. This is Truth, because GOD cannot lie. Christ just said "He was Truth" and "He was THE only WAY to His Father" so that those who are saved, shall be in Heaven with him. I am sorry that that may offend religions of the planet.

I’ll never understand the insatiable need for some to control others.

The people who want to control others the most are always the ones who lack self control the most.

[Elsie]

Then TEACH them!

My grandkids used to GROAN! whenever yet another ‘lesson’ was forced upon them.

They’re older (and wiser) now.

[Does so]

“Those cars will be locked to the speed limit, and mixed in with cars that aren’t”

1) Those on Marijuana will be spared—YAY!?

2) Politicians will be forced to raise the speed limit—so the net result is a loss of FREEDOM!

3) Those on Marijuana become endangered drivers (and passengers).

4) Older vehicles become more valuable. (Of my four highway vehicles, the newest is 28 years old).
