Until 1955 there were no speed limits outside incorporated areas.
Connecticut enacted the first statewide speed limit in 1901. By 1930 the majority of states had followed suit.
Remember I can't drive 55? If you went 70 which was 15 mph over but 5 mph less than the moth before you were charged with reckless driving and stiffer fine and 3 points on your record.
Tickets for exceeding the 55mph limit carried no points. Trust me on this.
I always though there should be a picture of Joe Stalin and the hammer and sickle with it too.
I don't think you know much about Joe Stalin.
I rambled around a good bit here but point is there is no morality in speed limits and fining to force conformity. Only in areas where excessive speed is a hazard and idiots refuse to dr4ive reasonable and prudent speeds and school zones Schools have no business being built on noisy major throughways.
Sorry, but there's no morality in people driving like they're in a NASCAR race while I and my family are sharing the road with them. Excessive speed is always a hazard, that's the meaning of the word "excessive". If you think people are going to drive at a safe and reasonable speed without enforcement, then you've been living in a cave.
