Why did he veto that? The bill sounds like a good idea to me. Two tons of metal travelling over the speed limit is absolutely dangerous for all. If the driver is careless enough to not obey safety laws, they at least deserve to be annoyed by a beeping speedometer, no?
The downvotes on this comment are a testament to the privilege of drivers. It’s crazy how good people, who would otherwise not break the law, believe it’s their right to speed. And before someone tells me it’s a victimless crime I’ll remind everyone that speeding kills both those inside and outside of your car.
Do you legitimately believe getting in an accident going the speed limit on the highway is less dangerous than 5 or 10 mph hours over?
Kinetic energy = 1/2mv^2 where v is ur velocity.
So yes, going over the speed limit starts becoming exponentially more dangerous per unit of speed u go above the limit.
Yep. N the pussies downvoting aren’t even providing an explanation as to why. The answer to “why” is exactly as you said- they don’t give a shit about people outside their car. It’s their god given right to speed lmao.
