I don't care if the small town gets paid because commuters can't get off the gas pedal. If it keeps me out of the hospital from some asshole merging into a traffic jam at 80 mph then I'm all for it.
And when some asshole merges in front of you going 30mph when traffic is going 60-70 and there's no way you can avoid it, so you bounce off him into someone else and it ends up being a 5-car pileup, it's ok because at least he wasn't speeding.
Is the speed limit on the road 30? No? Then that's not what we're talking about in the Authoritarianism community today. For the record going so far below the speed limit that you become a hazard isn't okay either and is accounted for in all 50 states' traffic laws. If you want to be mad about driving habits though this isn't the place. The roads we're talking about are frequently signed for 55 with most people doing 55.
