(Are you really NAIVE enough to believe that the government bureaucrats CARE about traffic accidents??)

Btw, I drink about ONE beer a month & have never driven "under the influence" BUT I was a peace officer for 3 plus decades & I know that laws like "speed limits" are ONLY about MORE MONEY for the government jurisdictions.
(Even the National Safety Council admits that speed limits are a REVENUE SOURCE & have little or nothing to do with traffi/public safety.)

yours, tex


I live in a state that had no "speed limit".

I have also been the captain on a Jaws-of-Life truck in a large district with interstate highway.

drunks that 'thought they were ok to drive' gave us more work than the speeders by a wide margin
