Not at all. He's merely reporting the true fact that, if anyone gets
hurt, then laws a lot more serious than speeding were being broken,
and those laws are all we need for proper safety. Speeding per se is
a victimless crime.

A good penalty for _enforcing_ speeding laws would be 20 years.

Kevin,

The original poster is a well known troll in the political groups. It
started posting to r.a.d about 4 years ago. It recently started cross
posting its crap to m.t.r.

The best thing to do is killfile it.

What do you suggest the penalty should be for those who enact them?

To be forced to obey them for the rest of their natural lives. If they
can't or won't comply, they will be chauffeured by a driver that will.

I would certainly volunteer a day a month for such duty. It would be my
pleasure to demonstrate just how asinine our speed limit laws can be.

Speed, in and of itself, isn't the problem. Reckless driving is the
problem; the two terms are not synonyms. That the majority of the
population is incapable of making the distinction doesn't change the
fact. Consider the autobahn, and how much faster well educated and well
trained drivers are capable of operating their vehicles safely at
speeds that would bewilder the typical American driver.
