credit sized GPS tracker thingies? Man, that would be fun to strap on a
remote controlled airplane - blast by at about 100 mph and then do a U turn
down the other lane and then straight up and out of sight. heh heh

All the bikes have little transponders on them the size of credit cards...here in the USA there have been proposals recently to abandon the fuel tax and impose a mileage tax using GPS technology. Why? Isn't a fuel tax better if your goal is to encourage fuel efficiency? To lower CO2 emissions? Or is there a hidden agenda to increase revenue by constantly monitoring everyone's speed? Such has been proposed in the UK. Then, if you have a revenue shortfall, it then becomes a simple matter of lower the speed limits to even less realistic levels, while hiding behind the "safety" curtain. Statists never rest. They want us all on the bus k On Jul 14, 2009, at 8:29 AM, jimshadow [at] verizon.net wrote:

I once passed -- quite safely, with plenty of room -- a few cars that were bunched up in front of my p- car. They were probably going around 50 in a 55 limit area. The officer had absolutely no sympathy for the sensible argument that it was a lot safer to pass at a speed in excess of 55, thereby dramatically reducing the time in which I was in the opposing lane.From: jimshadow [at] verizon.net I got my first ticket last Thurs in the Ferrari. I was behind a slow moving Subaru (he was going 35-40 in a 55) so when traffic cleared, I passed. A County boy was behind an approaching truck. He said I hit 71 before slowing back to 55. He was by the book. Said that its NEVER ok to exceed the posted speed......PERIOD. And he wrote me up with a smile......
