| Re: Lets lower speed limits because gas costs too much
This is just a thinly veiled attempt to extort more money out of the tax payer. They say “hey, we are lowering the speed limit so it will save you gas” if I wanted to slow down to save gas, I would! I do not need a speed sign to tell me that. Also how many people actually drive 65 to begin with? 70-75 at an average right? So let say you actually get pulled over for that 75mph that is a 10mph diff not a huge ticket, but under our eco friendly system it turns into a 20mph dif which is a fairly heavy ticket. So who is making out? The tax payer who could drive 55 anyways but probably wont or the state with their greatly increased revenue. It basically turns the whole state into a speed trap |
