Super Speeder Law

[cjhutch]

I'm fine with law as long as they change the speed limit on 285 to 65mph. 55 on 285 is ridiculous.

i wasnt talking about this particular law. just in general that is a bad mindset to have. like for example if the goverment wanted to make it where they were allowed to stop by and search any gun owners house. well if you didnt own any guns (qd i know you do, just an example) then the attitude that "doesnt affect me, i dont care" would be a big deal. you dont want to give the gov't that kind of power. it already is too powerful and having a mindset to let them do what they want as long as it doesnt directly affect you can be very harmful. in this case though, do you really think the govt should be able to just make it extremely expensive for a traffic violation? personally i believe most of the legislators that passed this bill will never have to worry about it. i highly doubt saxby chambliss gets ticketed when he gets stopped. so in a sense, they could have had the "doesnt affect me, i dont care" mindset and passed it. possibly.

you do know if you have a class 3 firearm permit for say a automatic MP5 or a silencer. they are allowed to come and ask to see it at any time. not saying they can come search for it. but you would have to produce it if they asked for it.

You're retarded, you said THIS EFFECTS ANY SPEEDERS, the neveryone pointed it out that it does not, and you're still acting like it will. IT's fi you're going 75 on a 2 lane road or 85 on an interstate. Both of those are more than 10 over. They are 20 or 30, so stop acting like ANY and every speeder will get effected, only the SUPER speeders. So even for those of you who have gotten the occasional 10 or 15mph speeding ticket, NOTHNIG has changed for you.

thank you someone else that can read what the law actually is.

Ya know.. Ive read over everything and i see both views. Honestly i think both are correct in many ways. and in correct in others. your either saying "well i dont speed so i have nothing to worry about" and others saying "yeah this is bullshit cause if you get caught speeding this will happen or it wont" and one definitly right about continueing to give the law to much power. But i want you all to sit down and think about this.. We are on a car forum. most of us drive cars or trucks or bikes that are built, made, designed the way we want them which stand out. now i want you to take into consideration how many people that have been pulled over for bullshit things, how many of us have been fined for some serious bullshit. (and before anyone blows there wod about "oh well you were in the wrong blah blah blah") this isnt what im saying. But We all know that there are ass hole currupt cops out there that hate our lifestyle. hate us being different because we enjoy our cars. Now with this new law in. Wouldnt that just give them more or a reason to target us? i mean there willing to pull us over for going 4 or 5 miles over and saying we were speeding. whats for them to say "oh hey he was doing 15 or 20 mph over so they can really rack up there quota? i mean we all know that the states are hurting for money since the economy went to hell in a hand basket. now that they are "legally able" to suck more money outa people that are hardly makeing it as it is. whos to stop them? when it is time to stand up and say enough is enough? just my opinion.

why dont you read the speeds and areas this extra fine is going to cover. not everyone that speeds is going to get the extra $200 fine. only people that have a high speed.

Not using your blinker is absurd. It is about 3 inches from your left hand.

lol it feels weird making a turn without a turn signal. the ever so rarely that i do. if even catch myself turning my signal on to turn into my driveway... AT 4-6 IN THE MORNING. im like wtf i havent seen a car on the road in 10 mins, let alone in the neighborhood. lol
