Very stupid idea and a waste of money even trying to implement it.

still illegal by the law.

yup, thats the big issue with traffic fines.

Yes, technically it is still against the law, but I don't think that there is one cop out there that will give you a ticket because you are going over the speed limit to get someone that is dying to the hospital.

i think this can be a good idea used like the mandatory breathalyzers, especially for young drivers.

lol @ anyone in this thread who doesn't "speed"

we all do.

in most places you will get run off the road if you aren't going 3-5mph over. Like washington avenue in albany. It is a 30mph zone, but everyone goes 40. cops go 45-50.

no, it doesn't. But, your driving capabilites are above that of a 16 year old or an 85 year old. this may be a good technology for people with learners permits or who have only had a license for a year or two. same thing with elderly people (then again, who has to usually worry about them going FAST!!)

But there are exceptions and it will never pass because of that. Such as, wife in labor in car, you speed to hospital, or hurt person, etc.

yeah thats what i was getting at, for a new driver, or an old person....then again, i'm a huge advocate for a 2nd drivers test at 55 or 60
