laws.

Breaking laws yes, killing people no.

So, how do you stealth a car, required by law to have a reflective

All states DON'T require a front plate... for example, Arizona.

So, obviously, if you are really impelled to flout the traffic safety

No, he could drive a newer car.

I happen to have a '99 Camaro SS that came with Z-rated tires. The

without speed-rated tires has an 85 mph speedometer and a limiter to
match.

I didn't think they did such silliness since the double-nickel crap.
My mini-peekup has a 120MPH speedometer, though I don't think I'm going
to test it soon.

People just don't understand the necessity for well-maintained tires
in good condition. A guy was seriously injured just yesterday on our
Interstate highway after a tire failure cause him to roll. As I write
the temperature is 105 F and projected to be 109 F later today.

Why is it that Big Brother (or GM or Apple Pie's, for that matter) must
try to prevent idiots from doing what comes naturally. Cut the damage
awards and let people be stupid.

The weather is perfectly clear and you can imagine the temperature of
the blacktop. At 75 mph (our current limit) the heat buildup in tires
is huge. For a non-speed rated tire, it is perfectly appropriate to
limit the max speed of the automobile. This is easily done in a
computer-controlled fuel-injected engine. No different than the
electronic rev limiter in my car that starts a purposeful misfire at
6500 RPM.

I don't believe it's appropriate at all. If I want to change the
tires...

I also happen to live in Arizona and was once passed on one of our
interstate highways by an 18-wheel truck (lorry). I was doing about
85 at the time and after the shock wore off, I pulled up to about 110+
and caught up then "slowed" to match his speed. He was doing 99 mph.
Considering the location and traffic, it seemed okay to me.

OTOH, the (appropriate) speed limit in my neighborhood is 25 and my
wife and I are the only two people around who observe it. Simply
depends on what is prudent, not what some legislator sitting behind a
desk determines is "safe."

The "safe" speed is supposed to be set at the 85th percentile. Other
than school-zones and such where the speed may change wrt time, I think
this is a rather sane target.

Our legislature actually tried to pass a law that set the max limits
at the 85 percentile. It failed to pass, since the cops are against
it and the loonies who believe that "speed kills" were against it too.

Next time, try to convince the legislators that there are more
motorists than cops. Yeah, there are always the loonies, but perhaps
you can point out that they are, after all, loonies.

As a general rule (correct 85% of the time) people will drive at the
appropriate speed. I have seen streets that were in poor condition
where the limit was 45 and most everyone drove 35-40. This is akin to
the story of the architects that build a campus, but leave out the
sidewalks until they can observe where the people actually walk, then
they put in the sidewalks.

Sure. If for some reason the speed should be lowered in an area design

the road for the wanted speed.

They do that retroactively these days, they're called "speed bumps" or

Very good point. Legislators (except, of course, for my Uncle Dick (RIP),
who got into the Minnesota legislature by asking his neighbors and friends
to vote for him, and quit in disgust after one session, because the other
legislators were loonies, or thugs on the take) are loonies, or thugs on

Oh, feh. "general rule"s are going to be the death of us all.

Right, but some accidents are simply not preventable once an event

in the world can't prevent the unpreventable. Human reflexes are

without speed-rated tires has an 85 mph speedometer and a limiter to

Limiter? What's that, a governor? They actually control how fast you
can drive?

I used to have car which had 140km/h (87mph) as the *center* of the
speedometer. Top of the speedometer scale was twice that.

C'mon. A speedometer that's got 174 MPH as its highest cal mark?
Or was it some yurp dart that went to 280 KPH? I drove a Mercedes once,
and it was doing well just to get onto the entrance ramp. What a cow!
(I was designated driver, never mind it's an entirely different story).

I also happen to live in Arizona and was once passed on one of our
interstate highways by an 18-wheel truck (lorry). I was doing about
85 at the time and after the shock wore off, I pulled up to about 110+
and caught up then "slowed" to match his speed. He was doing 99 mph.
Considering the location and traffic, it seemed okay to me.

OTOH, the (appropriate) speed limit in my neighborhood is 25 and my
wife and I are the only two people around who observe it. Simply
depends on what is prudent, not what some legislator sitting behind a
desk determines is "safe."

Superhighways were (and probably still are) banked for 120mph. But
25mph (40km/h) is a very appropriate top speed in a neighborhood with
kids on bikes, scooters, skateboards, inline skates, etc. etc.

Or slower...at .25 second reaction time, 25 MPH, the vehicle travels
about 9 feet before you even begin to react. You can realistically
only go so low with this, leaving the rest of the responsibility on
the young people you mention.

I've had at least two close calls at this sort of speed, with kids who
weren't paying attention and darted out into traffic. It was lucky
for everybody that I'm empathic and a little bit clairvoyant, because
I somehow knew - I "had a knowing": "There's a kid about to dart out
in front of you." I responded to my "knowing", and didn't run over
the little bastards. One was facilitated by the ball that came
bouncing across the street ("Slow down now, there's a kid behind
that ball") and the other was when two skateboarders came shooting
from a cross-street, and somehow I knew to slow for the third
skateboarder that I somehow knew was on the way. He missed me by
inches.

Of course, if you're going to be playing ball or skateboarding on
the expressway, then you deserve to be Darwinned. ;-)

Cheers!

try to prevent idiots from doing what comes naturally. Cut the damage
awards and let people be stupid.

Easy for you to say. What if the idiot rolls his car into my lane? Or
even better into your's.

Well, for one thing, there is no apostrophe in the possessive 'yours'.
For another thing, if an idiot rolls his car into 'your' lane, you're
supposed to be paying attention, taking responsiblity for the safe
operation of a thousand pounds or more or hurtling metal on the public
thoroughfare.

Right, but some accidents are simply not preventable once an event
like this has occurred. All the defensive driving training and skill
in the world can't prevent the unpreventable. Human reflexes are
limited...even professional race car drivers crash, and some die.

Sure, whatever you say. Oh, BTW, it's "responsibility."

Good Catch!

Thanks!
