RE: "I'm driving like 80 MPH on California's highways, just like everyone else, and people still pass me" Maybe California could close the budget gap by generating a lot of revenue from automating speeding tickets to people going over the speed limit? It would be interesting to see if there is a study on how much the government pays to medicare/medicaid for victims of car accidents that were due to speeding. Car accidents in California tend to be very scary and dangerous. I would love to see a movement towards more safety. Why do people have to tailgate you in the right lane for going the speed limit, when there are three other lanes on the left for them to pass you? I can't wait to buy a car that has an automated "take a digital photo of the person tailgating you (license plate # and driver photo) and send it to police station.com" for them to write a ticket, in order to help reduce accidents and reduce California's deficit.

Ted, Unmentioned Energy Fix: A 55 M.P.H. Speed Limit I'm driving like 80 MPH on California's highways, just like everyone else, and people still pass me. That includes big pickup trucks and SUVs, two types of vehicles that really shouldn't be driving over 80 no matter what. They'll adjust. Its for the good of the fatherland! ted
