Big Daddy Government Says 'No Speed for You!' - Wants to Install Governors to Prevent Cars From Speeding

 

On Wednesday, California State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) introduced a slate of proposed legislation, all under the guise of highway safety, including one measure that would limit any vehicle's ability to go more than 10 miles an hour over the posted speed limit.  Senate Bill 961, which was part of a package named the Speeding and Fatality Emergency Reduction on California Streets, or SAFER California Streets, would require all vehicles manufactured and sold in California to have a speed governor or limiter installed that would restrict the vehicle's speed to 10 mph above the legal limit.  [...]

But according to a new study, not only has that not happened, the plastic pollution problem has gotten worse.  [...]
