Left-wing blogger Matthew Yglesias provides more evidence that the left wants to control every aspect of your lilfe. Cars shouldn’t physically be able to exceed 75 mph, in his view:
This seems reasonably sensible to me.
But it doesn’t seem sensible to Mark Hemingway, nor to most people who have even casual knowledge of driving and safety:
This seems reasonably sensible to no one, once you’ve thought about it for more than a few seconds. If you’re going to allow cars to drive at 60-70 miles an hour, you probably need to allow for the fact that there are innumerable situations where safety dictates you depend on reserve power to drive faster than the prevailing speed.
D’uh!
