i remember reading that, it was too hard to say if someone was speeding or not, so they made reasonable and prudent = 65

I just want the law to aknowledge that I'm a better driver than the 90-year-old gray tuft of hair poking above the wheel of the gigantic cadillac.
I think a sportscar with Z rated tires doing 90 is much less dangers than the mentioned minivan doing 80.
IMHO.

Not only a "90-year-old grey" cadillac driver.. but also every minivan on the road that is doing 85 on H rated tires down the Interstate with the driver not watching the road because he/she is too busy fighting with the kids in the backseats.

the major dangers with driving are where there are differences in velocity, greater the difference, greater the risk. The speed limits also have to deal with the shitheaps that people can't afford to replace or improve which simply are incapable of going over 55mph without shaking and breaking down.... In theory ,it should make roads safer to have lower speed limits if everyone obeys them.
problem is, people don't, they should just make shitheaps illegal, make drivers licenses harder to get (better tests) then crank up the speed limit.
and the roads should be privately owned, not state.

yea here in california they only care about the emissions, the car can be literally totaled and its legal as long as it passes smog. my fd ran and drove just fine after the wreck, safe? no, smog legal? yes.

Uhh.. why's that? Where's the incentive for a private business to make roads meet XYZ specs?
why else does a private business do anything?
