#6 It won't work, Unless all speed limits are the same, I know several roads with 25, 35, 43, 50, 55, 65, and 70 mile limits.

Sounds like a buncha crap to scare folks into complaining, A MAXIMUM speed of (Say) 95 MPH Is being done now, Checked your speedometer lately?

#7 There is a significant body of evidence [possibly slam-dunk] that deforestation of roadways, saves lives.

#8 However, there are some, blowing .21+, that insist that the tree jumped from the curb, bit their car and dragged it off the road.

#9 Using the Galileo system, eh?

Gonna be awesome when merging and realizing that the a-hole in the blind spot is more interested in themself than your lack of lane left.

#11 That brought on a Keystone Cops image, Barbara - cops zooming along at 70 mph while the bad guys race away at 70 mph. Perpetual motion!

#12 My '99 Audi had a cutout at 130mph when I bought it (in'99). Is was based on the tire H rating (130 mph max) that came with the vehicle. I 'chipped' it and the max speed was replaced with a soft rev limiter. The car could then actually go the max speed it was designed for which is 148 mph. The speed limitation was all about liability and tire speed rating. It always comes down to the insurance peeps.

#13 Don't believe any crap about "aim to cut deaths". The aim of this, as has been admitted for 10 years or so, is to get all ars on the system so that taxes can be charged on road usage.

The control over people is just a side benefit. They're really after the money.
