I see it as a ploy. They will let you go faster on the highways, but with speed limited devices. This way they can say you are going faster, why you need to go any faster?

Like a false ad deal... they want you to think it's all good, but it's not.

Always be wary of NYS and the .GOV.

STREET OUTLAWS Returns and the 405 is Back

OKC has been dominating the No Prep Track, but the time has come for the 405 to return to their roots — the streets. STREET OUTLAWS returns on Monday, January 11 at 8p on Discovery followed by Mega Cash Days at 9p on Discovery and streaming on discovery+.

The 405 crowd.
E 10th st in Oswego used to be the street racers site and many exist around upstate NY.

Always obey speed limits in gears..

At this point in the cycle of general lawlessness that has taken hold, speed limits are irrelevant. I routinely see people driving in NYC at 90+ miles per hour.

Like these guys are perfect examples:

One of the young victims, a 16-year-old boy, was ejected from a speeding 2011 BMW around 10:45 p.m. Sunday when the driver lost control, slammed into a median and flipped over on the Belt Parkway n…

Let's see which sign company donated the most to Cunty Whorecul's re-election campaign. There you'll find the answer. It's gotta cost no less than $ 15-20,000 to replace just one of those signs. I'm sure that's a conservative estimate.

In general increasing speed limits lead to a reduction in accidents. This is due to less congestion and a narrowed speed differential amongst traffic
I think the official speed limit on intestate highways and controlled access US and State routes outside built up areas should be 80. That what most people do and the majority of cops allow. No reason a remote section of country road in good repair would be unsafe at 65 mph.
In rural Wisconsin the unofficial speed limit seems to be whatever the maximum speed of your vehicle is. This probably has something to do with the level of alcohol consumption in that state, which has the highest rate of alcoholism in the Nation.

Most of the nation is running at 70 mph. To be honest, when we are in a 80 mph zone, almost no one is doing 80. Most people seem to like the 70-78 mph spot. Very rarely do we see someone really blasting down the road.

Of course, New york drivers are some of the dumbest in the country, besides Boston and Phoenix drivers.

and as far as this speed control crap, what are they going to do with the 15 million cars/trucks on the road now? Out here in Arizona I see car and trucks that are 20+ years old. Are they going to force people to buy more EV's WITH speed controls installed ?? or are they just going to turn off your EV if you're going to fast

Traveling below the speed limit is hazardous, both to yourself and to others. If the speed limit is 80 then go 80.

You do realize that this was a car chase situation. Not the same thing. It’s like one of those gun control activist using a school shooting .
There are plenty of cops speeding off and on duty examples to use instead of exploiting this tragedy.

Or they could have done the smart thing and printed vinyl stickers and changed the numbers that way. Cost would haven been under $10 each, with very minimal installation cost. They would have lasted years and could be replaced later on. Oh yeah, we are talking about government, there is no smart way

What makes you think he was going to come back with the car?
Did the officer in the crash even know the circumstances of the theft ? As if that really matters.
Why report it stolen in the first place then, should we blame the person who reported it too?
Did the officer start the chase or was responding to the chase ?
And who really started the chase, the criminal. He created the circumstances. Just pull over.

It’s not even a close anology to the subject we are talking about. There plenty of cases where the cop was just speeding for no reason to use.
