The west is already undergoing a sort of period of decadence, so who knows what's to come next. The coronapanic and "travel passports" that were attempted in certain backwards western countries leads more credence to the tinfoil hatters I'd say. In addition, we have these irrational "green movements" and "war on climate change" people who more than likely would want those remote kill switches implemented to immobilize people of a particular political leaning. You're probably right in that something like this won't happen in the US, but UK, NZ, Canada, I'd be less hopeful about. |

Seriously though, if there was an 18 mph limit that was enforced by cameras where I live I'd have a For Sale sign in my front yard. Well, or maybe start a camera ticket fund and just go ahead and blow through them at speed. F'em indeed! |

I sure feel bad for you guys living in liberal low speed no parking cities. The speed limit through historic tourist downtown where I live is 80 MPH and youre legally required to fire your gun into the air to let them know to stay out of your way. Yeehaw bitches! I will admit that gets a little stressful sometimes so it's nice to fly to Canada so I can take a 4 mile walk to a cafe and lick a biscotti.

Same over here too it really started to kick off around the millennium and get worse every year.
Might see some change starting this fall with our election but i doubt it would change much changing the ruling party's. |

its not only the "kid" factor, when I am driving in a beautiful residential area I like to lower my top, raise the volume on my radio and drive slow enough to really check out the houses, parks, etc. IMHO there is more to life than driving at high speeds.

You're asinine to think the "sane health measures" you speak of weren't politically motivated. A lot of the ridiculousness and overreach of government power occurred during the general election season if you forgot already. Most of those measures had no rhyme or reason to them either despite evidence pointing to the contrary. That being said, this is not the forum to discuss that.

So evidence pointed them having a rhyme or reason? Or is it a rhyme and a reason? That would be contrary of having no rhyme or reason. Or would it just take one?

Now I wish they'd do more enforcement of tailgaters and left lane hogs then immediately raise the speed limits on 400 series highways but thats a different story. |

Less about the speed for me as long as roads fairly empty, more about the drive.

In the US, I’m holding out hope. States and localities are removing ticket quotas. Crappy way to measure performance and most police hate giving out tickets anyway unless it’s for something egregious.
Now if we can have some no limit autobahns, fewer cameras etc, I would be happy. I actually wouldn’t mind cameras for security, just not for speeding. Trying to find a bank robber, kidnapper, I get it. |
