It won't actually happen, so don't worry about it. Just worry about being killed by stupid drivers.

So it's "them or me", "every man for himself", "kill or be killed"?
Sounds like a very civil and safe society.

You don't have to try to kill other drivers. In fact, you shouldn't. You just have to drive as if every other driver on the road can't see you.

Hey. If gov. build roads you can speed on, I don't see the problem in them limiting how fast you go on said roads.

Then again, I am not really a fan of cars. In particular not in cities.

i think the issue isn't as much the speed guidelines they post for us with expectation to follow, and moreso their attempt at removing one's free will to decide to follow this or not.

it can easily be a slippery slope wherein we give up the right for our cars to exceed posted highway speeds and the next logical step is to allow Gov to disable motors for cars that aren't paid up with registration/insurance/etc.

Free will to decide whether to obey the law? They're laws, not recommendations.

As far as a slippery slope, speeding presents a clear and present danger. Unpaid insurance or registration does not.

laws which confuse morality with legality.

and it can be argued it's equally immoral/illegal/unsafe for someone to drive uninsured. even if they follow posted speed limits, in the case of not having insurance or a surety bond backing the driver, then any accident theyre involved in leaves behind damages that should be paid for by the responsible party

"[...]the right for our cars to exceed posted highway speeds [...]

Seems simple to me. You wanna do that, you build your own highway to exceed it on.

thought the taxes i paid WERE building a highway i could do this on.


Just kidding, i know it isn't and this is why i choose to not pay taxes, among other reasons

This is the first time I've seen theodicy applied to the government.

i feel like the current religious right applies it daily

A fair number of Americans think the government shouldn't build roads. They would rather private companies build the roads and charge a toll for driving on them.

and this is why I don't agree with toll roads installed by the government.

so our taxes pay for a road, that we have to pay further fees to drive upon?
