I'm still completely shocked we can send people off to war, but can legally keep them from drinking and buying. alcohol.
My wife and I have four kids. Our daughters are 34 and 32. Our sons are 29 and 23. The older three have young families of their own. The 23 year old is in his last semester at UGA. None of them are beyond making a stupid decision, and they have each made a few. Thank God none were life altering. One thing we have consistently done is lovingly drill into them that it only takes one bad decision to destroy your family, friends and future forever and pray they listened. As we have all grown older, I have learned how much they did in being each others’ keeper. They all made a pact with each other that they would give each other a ride any time needed with no questions asked or judgment cast. All parents can do is their best and pray.
Its not a right to go faster than the speed limit. Young or older it does not matter. IMcommercial vehicles should be governed to 70mph and ALL others 80mph. Zero reason anyone needs to drive over 80.
Looks like you have a business idea that you think would work. Either build a car brand with your target market being parents of young adults/teens, or fashion some kind of rig that would keep cars from going over a certain speed. If you can patent this and license it to major car brands you could make a fortune. However, I think the issue you would run into is speed is not necessary for safety, but acceleration often is. Could you safely merge onto I-75 with this rig?
Let me guess , I need no more than 5 round magazines to defend me and mine either LoL. This thread is gonna get out of hand quick
I disagree with much of what you have posted in this thread. However, governors ARE used in certain commercial applications. Many years ago, I used to occasionally rent box trucks to haul samples to trade shows and some of them had governors on them. I have read that the Expedition was owned by the university and rented by the university. I don’t know which is true. I have a hard time believing that we rely on short term rentals for recruiting staff. They must be university owned or long term leases. As such, I think it would be entirely appropriate to install any manner of controls on those vehicles, including governors and more sophisticated monitoring devices, etc.
The Gov’t cannot. But Kirby certainly can. I have no issue with him saying, any UGA player has to register their car and speeds are capped at 80mph. Or even 75. No issue with that. People are dead. As soon as you’re not at UGA, you can take it off.
I wondered how long it would be before the correlation between this argument and the typical BS arguments for gun control were made. Because a lot of the arguments being made in this thread sound identical to the crap being spewed out in favor of stripping me of my Second Amendment rights. Now go ahead and blow this thread up and lock it and claim that it’s now political when it was political the entire time begging for the federal government to do something instead of people having any personal responsibility.
OK granny. Since you've decided that 80 is the absolute max anyone should be allowed to drive then I guess we should go ahead & pass it into law.
Really? I guess I don't have a street legal car since mine doesn't have a governor on it & in about to drive a fast as I want.
If you don’t have a healthy fear of young drivers, you’re brain dead.
It is possible. But so is obeying the speed limit. Choices have consequences. You can’t get around that.
Sure. That’s why I generally obey the speed limit. Setting aside the personal responsibility argument, moderating the ability of a teenager to end someone else’s life by making a poor decision seems reasonable. The consequences of their poor decision extend beyond just themselves.
I don’t see why that’s controversial. No government involvement required.
No they don't. I did 125 in my F150 this morning heading to the office.
If you want to die, have at it. But you dont have the right to put my family's lives in danger. At 125 you are, unless your commute is from Amarillo to El Paso.
The hope is that the individual will grow out of their stupidity. Maybe the same age people are deemed responsible enough to consume alcohol?
Old people also do dumb stuff with alcohol.
