California could require car ‘governors’ that limit speeding to 10 mph over posted limits

I mentioned earlier that I wouldn't expect this to pass. But I may change my mind on that thought if the best people can argue against this is their free-dumb. We do not live in a free society and their are plenty of laws enacted to prevent society from being the Wild, Wild West. And those laws are in place because the voting contingency want it that way.

Do you have a reasonable counter argument to those that say a law like this will reduce traffic fatalities?

People wanting basic liberty is not "free-dumb" despite your pejorative wording.

So that's it? You do realize that society votes on those liberties weighing other things they also consider a priority (the safety of its citizens being one of them).

So what's your argument against those that say this will significantly reduce traffic fatalities? Your want your free-dumb?

What will you say to people that never drive 10 mph over the speed limit and don't buy into the silly outliers?
