We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.

Driving to work this morning at 70 MPH, I could see the guy behind me had his phone in his hand fiddling around (assume texting). Pulled off the exit (he was still behind me) and still tapping away. Since this 'law' has no real teeth, idiots like this will simply keep doing what they do.
ReplyMissouri is way late to the party on this law. I think this law is pretty common across the US.
ReplyIt's the beginning of the school year so kids will be outside and many adults also like myself will be out walking a lot if you need to message someone pull over I don't even walk and text this is a great law

ReplyI won't even answer a phone call while I'm in my car, it's hands free, but I refuse to try and hold a conversation in a town where people turn right from left hand lanes, or make U-turns leagally, yet everywhere else in the USA it is illeagal.
