California freeways are 65mph. Unless there is traffic, most drivers tend to go around 80mph. They will be constant.
In my opinion, this is trying to tackle the issue in a poor manner. People who are speeding already know that they are, so it’s not like a beep or visual warning is going to cause them to change their behavior. It’s trying to force a technical solution to a non-technical issue.
I just can’t wait to see how quickly someone finds a way to bypass this nanny bullshit.
And they aren’t constantly getting into accidents?
Nope. The major freeways in California are giant 8 lane straight lines. You could drive 100 mph on them and be perfectly safe. You can see 5 miles ahead of you, and there are no curves or anything to fuck you up. The 65 mph speed limit is just there so that they can write speeding tickets whenever they want more money.
What’s ridiculous is that the freeways can obviously handle and are safe at 80 mph, because millions of people drive 80 mph on them every day. So why not just raise the speed limit to 80 and actually enforce the limit on a regular basis? I’ll tell you why. It’s because they want to be able to go out and write tickets whenever they want more money in their budget, and they want to be able to pull people over on a whim. It’s hella nefarious.

Getting information is “nanny”?
Information by itself, no.
Having something constantly watch my behavior and nag me when I’m being “bad” is, yes.
It’s not “watching your behaviour”. Nor is it “nagging”. It’s beeping when a speed is reached. Quit hyperventilating
