Govt about to mandate SPEED LIMITERS on commercial vehicles over 26,000 pounds

HAHAHA. What does "drive safely" even mean, you moron tranny?

Uh, paying attention to, and avoiding idiots like you on the roadways.

Whatever first a police officer writes a ticket to you, and next that a judge finds you guilty of.

Judge??? What do you have against jury trials?

Highways almost always have a lower speed limit of 45 or 50 mph. There are many vehicles who cannot go above 68, and many drivers who do not feel comfortable going above 68. If, as you claim, cars can not safely drive on those roads at 80mph, we need to lower the upper speed limit. The only reason the upper speed limit would be that high is someone claimed it would be safe for it to be 80 driving with 50 mph.

WRONG. Low speed limits vary from road to road, if they even exist. Going 50mph on an 80mph road is dangerous.

Speed doesn't kill. A DIFFERENCE of speed kills. You are still ignoring Einstein.

Driving too much faster than the other cars is unsafe. That being said, 55 mph is not too fast for an "80mph road".

Driving 55mph on an 80mph is unsafe.

So how do you explain 1974 ? We went to the nationwide 55 and highway deaths immediately dropped by 9,000 a year.!!!

This has already been explained to you.

Improvements in road equipment (such as burying the ends of guards, installing breakaway signs and light poles, and installing attenuater barriers at frogs and bridge supports.

This is why highway deaths did NOT go back up significantly as speeds increased.

HAHAHA. Hear that everybody.? This moron says there is no such thing as a head on crash??? HAHA

Pretty damn rare on today's roads. You are AGAIN ignoring the better barriers installed.

 

[Into the Night]

The issue is your claim that drivers must keep up with "surrounding traffic". What does that even mean?. It's like passing a law that says drivers must drive safely at all times!!!

you can't think

It is the law.

 

[Into the Night]

HAHAHA. What does "drive safely" even mean, you moron tranny?

Driving unsafely is a reckless driving charge. It is defined in the law, dumbass.

 

[Into the Night]

HAHAHA. There is no way to enforce such a law, you simpleton. As long as there is other traffic on the road, you can always say you were passing someone.

Nope. Won't wash in court.

 

[Into the Night]

HAHAHA. So now the board moron is saying there should be no speed limits because someone might have a medical emergency and need to speed.!!! That's space alien talk you blithering idiot.

Arbitrary speed limits really do nothing for safety.

Judge??? What do you have against jury trials?

Traffic courts typically have no juries, since the crime is a misdemeanor.

Judge??? What do you have against jury trials?

The Constitution allows for just judges in smaller issue courts. It would be an extreme pain in the neck to impanel a jury for every parking ticket.

Driving 55mph on an 80mph is unsafe.

Given many vehicles can only go 55 mph, if as you say that driving 55 and 80 is unsafe, we need to drop the speed limit from 80.

 

[Stringfellow Hawk]

We need this on all highway vehicles. And the limiters should be set at 50 mph. Based on what happened in 1974, such a law would save 10,000 american lives every year . How can anyone oppose this? And yet liberals will. They love their assault vehicles as much as they hate assault rifles.

OMFG, how asinine, traffic back ups are already pathetic with the limiters we have forcing us to drive in packs with no escape routs. Disabling phones while moving would be the ultimate fix

The phone does not know if it is being operated by the driver or a passenger.

OMFG, how asinine, traffic back ups are already pathetic with the limiters we have forcing us to drive in packs with no escape routs.

"I was speeding because I wanted to get ahead of a bunch of cars" is not an actual defense to speeding charges. And besides, there is an obvious other way to get out of a pack of cars, slow down.

Carter did that and we got...

And everything in between. 55 mph became a national joke that everyone was raising their middle finger to.

HAHAHA. What a moron you are. Of course speed kills. Would you rather hit a tree at 80 mph or 50? You are stupid even for a tranny.

No it has not been explained. When we went to the 55 mph speed limit, highway deaths IMMEDIATELY dropped by 9,000 a year. Nothing had changed except the speeds people drive at. THINK, you miserable pathetic tranny.

Traffic courts typically have no juries, since the crime is a misdemeanor.

HAHAHA. Again you show your legal ignorance. Most traffic courts deal in INFRACTIONS not misdemeanors. Infraction is the legal category below misdemeanor. But still many traffic crimes such as drunk driving or extreme speeding are classed as misdemeanors or even felonies and you do have the right to a jury trial then. THINK
