    Driving fast can be enjoyable, ask a professional or even an amateur racer, but that’s not what I’m saying. A legally mandated limiter is going to cost drivers money to have it installed on cars that don’t have it. Governments aren’t going to pay to have it retro installed. Or if they did, there are better things to prioritize first. It’s also going to cause an increase in the price of new cars as well (because any reason to jack the price) though I suspect retro fitting is more expensive.

    People doing 90 in a 30 or drag racing down a street, rollin coal, etc etc - totally disagree with that sort of thing, I just don’t think punishing everyone else is the way to stop that issue. A fair and just legal/justice system that isn’t hobbled by bullshit partisan politics and lobbying would do wonders.
