Jimmy - you can thank Governor Wilder for our crappy roads today. He got rid of tolls and cut personal property taxes to get elected, but did nothing to offset that lost income for road construction in South East Virginia. We'll end-up paying for it with a higher gas tax eventually.

Since he's so buried in his statistics, I would be interested to see at what speeds these speeding-related-accidents occurred. I would be willing to hazard a guess that the majority of them happened at sub 75 speeds, on regular roadways, not highways.

This is the same stupid philosophy that people who advocate universal gun bans use.

Just like banning guns will not stop people from finding ways to kill each other, putting speed limiters in cars will not stop people from circumventing them in order to speed.
Regardless, anyone who thinks that fast cars are the problem is seriously deluded. The real problem is bad drivers (partially due to insufficient training) and lack of enforcement of the existing laws.

People need to stfu about idiots who speed. Just make sure that people who obviously are not fit to be behind a wheel do not receive their license without proper behind-the-wheel education.
