I hate this shit with a passion, but the window to avoid it is closing and while there will be ways to try circumventing it, the methods to counter the government control won't last long. View Quote NTSB reco's last fall was couched in the form of 'driver warnings', not active systems (except for development of a habitual speeder maximum speed Interlock like drink drivers BAC interlocks). But yes I feel ya bro, ever encroaching. This doesn't happen in a vacuum. The report and recommendation stemmed from a high profile Las Vegas case where vehicle blew a red light at 100+ mph, damaging 5 other cars, killing 9 occupants, including 7 from one family. Others were permanently disabled. So as with other crisis cascading, when you have these incidents, officials action becomes likely and encouraged by families (understandable), insurance cos, "safety advocates", etc. The one element suggested, requiring States to develop serious consequences to recidivist speeders, also requires active enforcement, which has gone in the shitter over the last decade. |

And if your car can't go over 70 mph anyway, you don't need more then 100 hp in your electric car.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. My timeframe for all the above encompasses several years. And Fed Gov will subsidize the whole process like they did cash for clunkers and then they will provide localities with financial support for car crushing. But the last part won't be all that expensive. Preban cars will be legal, just undriveable on public roads. No tags, no insurance other than property insurance. They won't go after collections, just road usage of "unsafe" cars. ETA: I bet money they will also involve insurance companies for subsidies, bonuses, whatever, in a fantastic symbiotic corporatist team up. Kinda like Covid vax, government and Pfizer/Moderna, etc. When the .gov wants to push an agenda, nothing will stop them. They can print money and ignore the Constitution. They have corporate and media support. "Can't" isn't in their lexicon. |

View Quote Unbelievable that you really believe the fedgov won't do it. Look at how they go after Jan6 people. When they don't want citizens to do this that or the other they will accomplish it. It might take a decade, but they want personal vehicles and the freedom to travel essentially eliminated. They will do it and it won't be overlooked. Eventually the appearance of any car of X age or Y type will be immediately responded to and punished. If you live in bumfuck and no one sees you driving it is a lot different than anywhere east of the Mississippi or west of the Rockies.
