These laws exist for a purpose, and their enforcement helps keep our roads somewhat safe. I feel threatened when someone whizzes by at 80 MPH and cuts in front of me; I *want* someone to be there to catch these guys... /* End of text from convexs:net.legal */ So what do speed limits have to do with your argument? By your own statement, the only way those people will not drive that way is if there is a policeman right there with a radar gun. What you are complaining about is "reckless driving," or "speed unsafe for driving conditions..." There are already plenty of laws to cover that. I always love a "legal" argument that rests on "well, you only stand up for the rights of _________ because you're one too..." It seems so adult. blues, II (If you meet the Buddha on the road, cut him off for me)
