- I think the main problem here is: how would the police enforce speed limits?
- 2 different limits would exist for most highways.
-
- This would make enforcing limits near impossible, which would get the
- powerful insurance companies to lobby against it, and it would be flushed
- immediately.
-
- I am for raising the limit though. :-)
