Please tell me you are being a devils advocate here...and that you
don't believe what you are saying..
You are saying that speed limits that were considered safe in 1960 (w/
cars that had 1960 technology...safety)...are applicable to modern
vehicles??
The fact is..the state depends so much on revenue from speeding
citation and parking citations...that they want you to speed...and
modern cities (Like Boston..where I live)..could not exist if everyone
didn't speed to increrase traffic flow....NMA members have gone through
Boston and I93 artery at the speed limit...and created a disaster...Its
a very complex issue.
BUT one thing is sure...it has nothing to do w/ the needs of the
constituents.
