It's impossible to drive at the posted speed limit where speed bumps are present...

Punishing everyone who wants to drive way beyonf the speed limit and endanger others? Really?

I lived in England. I was allowed to ride a motorcyle at age 16, that's a year earlier than you can drive a car.

Seems to me a 10-over governor will work about as well as the so-called self-driving cars...

The buyer pays for it because the cost will be passed on as part of the total cost of the car

The maximum speed present on a speedometer has nothing to do with the top speed of the car.

130 horsepower? That's rather excessive, isn't it? Who needs that much power?

What makes you unique? If we allow you to make that choice, shouldn't we allow others to make that choice too? NT

I can't imagine the residents of California tolerating this. It's a super bad move for whoever champions it.

This outrage reminds me of anti-masking? As you say, it's to save lives. Nobody should be speeding anyway.

I am glad it worked out for your dad. Google: smoking saved my life. Google: Seatbelt victims. Google: Covid shot death

As I said, I am very pleased your dad made it. I don't see any human life as a statistic. Do you have anything you would

If DU awarded a prize for "least self-aware post of the day," I'm sure that one would win it.

This is playing right into the hands of the RW attempts to universalise the false slur that all Dems are nanny staters

This is a terrible idea and not mainly because of civil liberties. It's terrible because it won't work.

Nearly everyone sized up the OP right away as a plant. It looked like one of James O'Keefe's less successful new hires.

Unless the CA is going to provide free internet access for all vehicles made after 2026, this is not going to end well
