    California freeways are 65mph. Unless there is traffic, most drivers tend to go around 80mph. They will be constant.

    In my opinion, this is trying to tackle the issue in a poor manner. People who are speeding already know that they are, so it’s not like a beep or visual warning is going to cause them to change their behavior. It’s trying to force a technical solution to a non-technical issue.

    I just can’t wait to see how quickly someone finds a way to bypass this nanny bullshit.

      And they aren’t constantly getting into accidents? Wild. Someone should tell the politicians that this might not be the source of the problem.

        Information by itself, no.

        Having something constantly watch my behavior and nag me when I’m being “bad” is, yes.

          It’s not “watching your behaviour”. Nor is it “nagging”. It’s beeping when a speed is reached. Quit hyperventilating
