IronTiger Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I changed my avatar to protest the rapidly-passing bill to get rid of the night speed limit. I believe all the "reasons" for getting rid of this to be inaccurate:1) Supporters say that other states don't have a separate night speed limit (but said state's overall speed limit is lower)2) Supporters say that headlight technology has gotten better (but many cars are not top-of-the-line, and studies have shown there's no good replacement for daylight. Plus, as you drive, your "lit vision" gets narrower)Additionally, no one has taken into account that removing the night speed limit and altering others to 75 is a needless hit to the budget, plus higher speed limits mean more accidents and gas usage.What say you?

samagon Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 There is still the arbitrary "only go as fast as the conditions allow".Most people don't slow down at night for the speed change anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thStDad Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 There are less people on the road at night, so let me get home faster. Going slower is more boring, more risk of falling asleep at the wheel. There, I made it sound like a great idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
