The speed limit de facto on the freeway IS 10 mph.

You will drive 55 or less, that is all.

That’s the problem with California: it’s in a death spiral.

Leftists attack working people’s freedom and livelihood. Those normal Americans leave California. The percentage of communists, drug addicts, gangbangers, illegal aliens, sexual deviants, and welfare parasites who vote Democrat increases.

The governor and state legislature lurch further left and pass even more ridiculous laws. More normal, productive citizens leave. The aforementioned human debris becomes an even higher percentage of California’s population.

California will eventually go full metal Marxist if this trend continues. That spells real trouble for the rest of the country. Will California secede from the Union if Trump wins, for example? Trump couldn’t allow that because California would then be a beachhead for communist Chinese troops.

Will California resort to collectivizing agriculture, herding the (few remaining) Christians into death camps, and other Khmer Rouge/Stalinist behavior? Would a President such as Trump tolerate that? Civil war might be the only way to stop Sacramento’s Politburo from hosting Chinese military bases and enslaving, terrorizing, and murdering innocent Americans.

I’ve long been telling the people I know they should get used to doing without California produce. The drought a few years ago was only a prelude of what to expect. Like all communist countries, an all out Leninist California will wreck its own agriculture and become a net food importer.

Red Barchetta is going to become a documentary, not dystopian fiction.

So glad I'm not the only one who understands this reference!

“Hey California how about not giving drivers licenses to illegal aliens”.

Good point.

After the Mariel boatlift brought 125,000 “immigrants”, Miami traffic suddenly had crazy Cuban speeders. Rollover accidents increased—especially at highway exits.

As an instructor in high-speed car handling, I’d want ALL driving 10-over to have such instruction marked on their licenses. Most don’t know the effects of aerodynamics at elevated speeds.

This is a great opportunity for farmers in other states to invest in orchards and to return to truck farming. Before World War II, the areas near big cities like New York that would later become suburbs had farms that produced much of the fruit and vegetable supplies for those cities. California agriculture thrived because of the rise of refrigerated trucks and the construction of the Interstate Highway System, enabling California farmers to take advantage of their favorable climate and soils. If California goes full Marxist, there is a great opening for farmers in the other 47 contiguous states.

If you want to see what that looks like, go here

And go to the Folsom Street Fair report that in the bottom of the left side box.

These people are nasty and evil.

Just go and click on it just to see the warning before you go to the real report, if nothing else.

Tip of the hat to the California regulation requiring drivers to pull out once they accumulate five cars behind them.

Really? I'm supposed to count cars in my rear view mirror instead of focusing out the front windshield?

This seems to be something a Marxist Dem wants to do to control your life. They are telling you what appliances to buy what cars to buy now controlling your decision making.

I leave my blinkers on, too.

You know what they say... everyone who goes slower than me is an idiot and everyone who goes faster than me is a maniac.

Which one are you?

As I recall, it was ignored by the creepers.
We are going fast enough for anyone, do not pull over.

Actually, I don't live in California anymore.

Truth be told, I used to be a fast driver. When I got my most recent car that has adaptive cruise control, I decided to slow down and use the cruise control to manage my speed. Now I typically set it for 5 MPH above the speed limit and just steer.

California’s problem is it doesn’t have enough laws..rules and regulation. ...and generally more targeted government spending.
