New bill proposes increase in maximum speed limit for New York

ManualF150 · Jan 31, 2023

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:

3 killed, including 2 teens, in NYC crashes

Remember when NY lowered the speed limit to save energy?

And it’s sitting right next to NY Senate Bill S9528, which would mandate speed-limiting technology be placed in all new vehicles.
Give an inch, Take a foot.

In the case of the sponsor, give him an inch and he'll take it in the ass.

They'll raise the speed limit and then enforce it to the T. Everyone's already doing 75 to 80 in a 65. Now you'll get whacked for 72 in a 70.

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.

LOL Just a tad low...

The stretch of I-41 in the Neenah area is under construction, limiting speeds to 55 mph.

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.

Looks like that was total, not each, and included installation.

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

all autos should be limited to the speed of a horse trot .. no one needs to go 10 mph

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

The upside is that if you're able to get out of NewYorkistan, you'll be out a few minutes faster.

Yeah I was thinking if that was per unit,
A Milwaukee with a half inch socket and an open end could make some good profit

Hell yeah. I'd undercut that bid to $120k each and get started this afternoon...

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.
