As someone who daily drives a highway [1] that is marked 15 MPH below what it ought to be (as almost all highways are), I hope this system never comes to fruition.
Now, automated tagging of morons who stare at their phone while driving? Bring it on. Those fuckers are a plague.
[1] The Mass Pike (I-90); which is a toll highway that is marked 65 MPH, on which traffic averages 75 MPH, and 80 MPH is well under the speed the highway can safely support (given attentive drivers).

- colanderman 12y agoHence my assertion that police should crack down on such inattentive drivers.

- colanderman 12y agoLikewise, I secretly hope vehicle speeds would be electronically limited (say, radio-controlled by highway transmitters) for the same reason.
