On private road you can drive whatever vehicle you want. This law wouldn't limit you.

People with street-legal cars should still have the right to drive them on private roads if they want to. This law restricts that.

  So your argument is that the right to drive a road-legal vehicle dangerously on private property is more important than the right to not get killed by a drunk driver on a public road?

    You already have the right to not get killed by a drunk driver on a public road.

      I think you’re attempting to play with words to skirt around the question, despite the fact you know exactly what I’m saying. But let’s phrase it a different way. Are you saying it’s more important for people to have the ability to drive road-legal cars dangerously on private property, than it is to prevent fatal accidents caused by drunk drivers?

        Your question is simply not relevant, that isn't the choice being made here.

        Who decides whether or not a question is relevant? Your refusal to even engage the question proves that you believe your freedoms are worth more than the lives of others.

        Typically, the person responding to a question gets to decide their response. I hope that clears things up for you. I disagree with your conclusion, but yes, I will refuse to engage further.

    This is a false dichotomy. There are myriad ways to prevent drunk driving that are not this technology.

  But how? You can do whatever you want with your car on private road. Cut off the system which limits you and go forward. Would you complain that you couldn't reach speed greater than 20mph on stock electric scooter?

    > You can do whatever you want with your car on private road. Surprisingly, but absolutely, not true. For instance, in most places in the US at least, you can be prosecuted for DWI on a private road on your own property (as it is about operation of a motor vehicle regardless of place).
