HOLD IT! I did *not* tell you you were wrong about 55, I tried to suggest that you reconsider destroying someone's car. > I think it is a crock too. At least we agree on *something*. > I think the speed limit should go back to 65, where it is feasible, > and tailgaters be shot on sight. That goes for traffic weavers too. How about 165? That would make a dandy limit. Anyone exceeding 165 (that's mph, not kph) could have the book thrown at them. Let's not suggest shooting people. Everyone makes mistakes once in awhile. Have you ever in your life, even for a second, tailgated someone? (That's in *their* opinion, not yours, remember!) Would you like to be shot just for bothering someone and/or reducing the safety factor for a short period of time? > T. C. Wheeler (When the going gets tough, the tough go drinking) If you want to kill your brain/liver/etc, that's fine. Just don't try to drive afterwords. (at any speed) This is getting ridiculous.
