    No. How about you tell me your reason. Is this going to affect you and your wallet? Seriously, why do YOU think it's stupid? Later, QD.

    because, if you stay the speed limit you will constantly keep getting passed by traffic. my biggest reason is most truckers speed. i have a fear of trucks running me over. so everytime i see a truck i either try to move away or speed up. in that sense, i know that one of those times i speed up a cop will be somewhere and get me. that's my main reason, other then that i know where i can go a little bit faster and where i can't.

    I don't go to Hall County a lot. I did when I was on the Wal-Mart account. I even went to several Gainesville Meets behind the Sonic when in that area on delivery. But on the account I'm on now, I don't go there very often at all.

    I have before. I have a folder that has nothing but old school Japanese cars that I actually see on the roads.

    Lolol. Ok. So your fear is the reason behind this stupid law? Doesn't really make sense. This law is designed to at least keep speeders high speeds down some if they don't want to pay the excessively high fines. So if you're afraid of speeding truckers, wouldn't you want something in effect to try and slow those people? And alleviate these fears? Not to mention that I know FOR A FACT that most truckers don't go fast enough to be caught as a "super speeder" so it still wouldn't have any affect on you whether or not the law was here or not.

    Bottom line is it doesn't make sense that you would be against something that is to slow down speeders if you're afraid of speeders. Later, QD.

    most truckers that i see on 85 or 285 go 75-85 mph and they wont get caught because of their communication with each other. so it really wont slow them down. i highlt doubt that it will slow anyone down. people will just try to invest in better radar/laser detectors and try to be more careful.

    You will very rarely find a speeder on 285 (trucker). You will even more rarely find one exceeding 65 mph on 285. SO you don't see anyone going 75-85 on that freeway.

    As far as I-85, you will also rarely see one in excess of 75mph. It just doesn't happen that often.

    But again, my question stands....why would you think a law that has the potential to help you and your fears is stupid and be against it? Why would you NOT welcome anything that could possibly help you feel safer on the street? Is it because everyone else says it's stupid and you don't want to be chastised? I'm all for the law and no one is harping on me about it. Just good discussion. And I'm glad you're not thinking I'm clowning on you. Later, QD.

    I remember you coming to the Sonic meets. Only reason I was using Hall County as an example of saying small towns. Is because who's to say that a cop won't twist the law a little. You know, say you were going just a little faster so they can charge you with this to make a little extra off of you. I know Hall county and places like Mayesville, Gillsville, Pendergrass, and such will stretch the truth if they feel like it.
    You know better; next time will be a ban.

    Ahhh. Well, you know me. I don't too much buy into the whole "all the police are out to get me" and conspiracy theory shit, so I can't really comment. Later, QD.
