A new Illinois law will target so-called “super-speeders,” requiring them to install speed-limiting devices in their vehicles if they commit multiple road violations.
I never understood why cars are built to go 170mph or faster… Why? Unless you are a truck to haul heavy stuff, smaller engines with speeds up to even 90mph is more than enough.
It’s physics. Any vehicle capable of comfortable acceleration within the allowed speed zone will also be capable of greatly exceeding the speed limit. If you built a car that could only go 65, it would take forever to climb up to that speed, and it would be redlining the engine to maintain that speed. Any vehicle capable of efficiently and comfortably traveling at the speed limit will be capable of greatly exceeding it. Unless a governor is installed, of course.

Because we can. Because it’s thrilling. Because there’s more to a car than top speed. Because there’s more to the world than US.
People shouldn’t be seeking thrills on public roads, and doing so should justifiably be seen as reckless and come with a punishment.
Fundamentally disagree. Again, there’s more the world than US.
I don’t live in the US.
