Re: Lose Car over 50 over limit

Boy when I wrote this, I did not think it would hit such a nerve and polarize people. Eldo97 for the record, and believe it or not, police no matter what they are doing, can drive as fast as they want, when on patrol. Of course they become mere mortals again when not in uniform. Firetrucks, Ambulances, and Towtrucks are also not required to obey the limits. Just kidding with the tow trucks. Now that this law has been with us for a while, some things have become clear, it has not had the intended effect of slowing people down, now they only do 145 not 150 down the highway, it has made no difference to the safety of the streets, heck truckers drive like lunatics far more than car drivers do. It has really pissed people off, and now when a cop wants to pull someone over if they have gone the 50 plus, now sometimes people will try and get away. If you travel as much as I do on the 400 series, most of the vehicles in the hammer lane are VW TDI's (tuetonic Dumbkof Imports) usually with one light out or one taillight out belching out their black smoke and stink of their exhaust, so much for clean diesels, now these vehicles are usually doing 140 or better, guess they won't be getting 1000 km out of a tank of expensive (yippee) diesel. Jury is still out on this law, maybe the government can be made to see common sense. NOT
