PRESSURE FROM WHOM?

The Citizens of the United States have expressed no desire what so ever
for big brother or remote surveillance vehicles.
Do we still own this Country?
Do we still run this Country?
Is everyone going to forget who cheered and clapped when the Mexican
President bitch slapped America and Americans before a joint session of
Congress?
Is everyone going to forget the Banking Debacle and who gave the Banks
the power over the Citizens of the United States?

It only increased the power of the banks. The banks got most of their
power when the federal reserve act was passed afte most members of
congress went home for christmas break in 1913.

Fine by me.

The speed limit need not be set by the 85th (or higher) percentile of the
fastest/most reckless drivers out there. It's clear enough to me that the
speed limits are posted adequately so anything the government can do to
ensure compliance with the posted limits gets approval from me.

Consider--look what happens driving the speed limit, then going into a curve
or a sharper turn. Very little lateral pull forces, gentle forces at most,
usually quite non-existent if the curve has banking. Negligible vehicle
chassis lean. Tires are at no risk whatsoever of losing traction. That means
full control over the vehicle going in and out of the turn.

The same cannot be said of exceeding the speed limit, where the laterals are
noticeable, the vehicle chassis leans, the tires may even start to make
audible noises that they are losing traction. Clearly, the fastest and most
reckless drivers out there should not determine the speed limit.

So if the car, SUV, motorcycle, and/or helicopter law enforcement can't or
won't do their job sufficiently, I see absolutely no problem with the
unmanned drones doing the extra work.

The fastest and most reckless drivers out there *don't* set the speed
limits, Daniel. You're simply assuming that faster than average equates
to "reckless" where the people who actually understand the issue have
said the exact opposite.

If it catches the deadly speeders then great. Anyone who opposes this
is an obvious shill for the auto industry.

You're not even trying to be entertaining any more, Judy.

Of course you like it. You love control.

Here you go again with your control freakish concept that everyone
should live within the limits of your vehicle and your comfort. Full
control is not determined by lack of feeling of anything. The idea that
a quality modern vehicle designed for performance should be limited to
what a 1950s sedan can handle without a hint of body roll is simply
absurd. As I recall the standards were set by what would cause a
package to slide in a typical 1950s sedan.

They don't. If you knew anything about engineering statistics you'd know
they weren't.

Because your solution to everything it seems is more state control this
is of no surprise. I wonder how many laws you violate daily should some
machine be watching you to tally up the score.

And just what do we do when your precious UAV detects a speeder (sic)?
Fire a heat seeking missle at them?

S&DDAM admits to putting others in danger with its beater:

"Foot pumps are a joke. I had one once and since the piston only moves like
2 inches it took 50 pumps to raise the pressure by one psi. Go with the
hand pumps where the piston moves around 15 inches. One of my tires has
exposed cords and i have to pump it up every week. "

Speeders & Drunk Drivers Are MURDERERS (a.k.a. SFB) admits to being
a deadly speeder, psychopath and criminal coddler:

"> Have you ever driven a car faster than the legal speed limit?

Yes, but never deliberately. In fact i got a speeding ticket about 5
years ago for doing 41 in a 25. I just about kicked the cops teeth in
cause i was sure he was lying. No way the SL on this wide open
stretch could be 25, i thought."
