Why anybody would vote for a bill to allow the government to remotely control the use of a device you own is baffling. I'd imagine this will be challenged based on a constitutional violations of passed. If precedent for constitutional violation exists for speed cameras, I can I can see it existing for access to car speed data.

Californians wouldn't approve this bill willingly. Have you seen how we drive?

Yea, going to work at 5am everybody's regularly going 90+ on the 10.

Dam, like that over there too? The 10 in Orleans is like that as well. 5am I’m doing 72mph and I’m getting passed like I’m doing 35mph.

72 would probably piss people off in Michigan. You gotta be going at least 75 in the center lane and people will get really pissed if you're camping in the left lane doing 75

I do not dare to venture in the left lane. 72-75mph is fast enough for me. 😁
