So the Governor wants them to install a governor.
Just take their license. Driving is a privilege not a right. You are putting others in danger when you drive dangerously and just because you don’t like the laws and can afford it doesn’t mean you should be allowed to ignore them.
Of course, taking a license won’t stop them from getting in a car and driving it, but it will dramatically increase consequences for getting caught ignoring it.
I mentioned in a previous thread about this that car suspension behaves weird when you’re accelerating and it unexpectedly lets off. I believe it’s referred to as off-throttle oversteer. You also remove headroom for reacting to other drivers, even if you are a shitty one. This will only make those pushing the limits of these things even more dangerous.
The problem is in practice judges don't impose this penalty because they know in most parts of the country it's an economic death sentence.
Maybe it's a good idea in like NYC but even in NY there are many people who can't use the subway to get around.
And that's exactly why we need good public transportation and walkable/bikeable infrastructure.
I'm generally not one for authoritarianism or much of a nanny state of any stripe, but while we're at it I have a few fuckers in my town they can start with if they like.
In my city, some of the worst offenders are cops.
Shit pretty much already exists in the UK. The car knows exactly what the speed limit is on every part of every road and if you exceed it by more than even 3 mph, it starts beeping at you. Go more than that and it gets even louder.
If my car ever has a device like that, I'm removing it pretty much immediately. I don't even excessively speed, but I hate stupid distracting noises that I know will happen even under fairly normal use.
That honestly sounds terrible. I don't like speeders (even as someone with a bit of a lead foot of my own), but that sounds like hell.
Like I'm just imagining trying to drive down the highway and getting constant beeps because I dared to go even 5 over.
I'd make the threshold 5 over surface streets, and 10 over highway speeds at most.
