I Cant’ Drive 85

“Someday in the not too distant future, it might no longer be possible to drive a brand-new car faster than 80 mph in California. That’s because state senator Scott Wiener earlier this week proposed a new bill that aims to prevent certain new vehicles from going more than 10 mph over the speed limit. In California, the maximum posted speed limit is 70 mph, meaning anything north of 80 mph would be off limits.” (I’m mostly linking to this to provide advance warning to first period teachers at my daughter’s high school: If this law passes, we will be tardy.)
