A bill to require all cars sold or made in California after 2027 to have devices limiting their top speed to only ten miles per hour above the speed limit was introduced in the Senate on Wednesday.
Senate Bill 961, authored by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), would specifically require certain vehicles, commencing with the 2027 model year, to be equipped with an intelligent speed limiter that would limit the speed of the vehicle to 10 miles per hour over the speed limit. The bill would exempt emergency vehicles from this requirement and would authorize the Commissioner of the California Highway Patrol to authorize the disabling of the system on other vehicles.

Will be a bonanza for Oregon and Nevada car dealers
The speed limit de facto on the freeway IS 10 mph.
This will kill a lot of people.
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.
Un licensed invaders, gangbangers and people of color not included
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.

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.
Ha! I made my post just above before seeing yours.
Really? I'm supposed to count cars in my rear view mirror instead of focusing out the front windshield?

And think of all the speeding tickets you won’t get! “See, it’s for the people!”
This could have an impact on Tesla S upgrades to Plaid...among many other things.
I know you have your limitations. Most of us are up to it though. I can even be aware of what’s on either side too AND chew gum while driving. You must have been that *#!%@&!! who wouldn’t pull over!
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.
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.
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.
