I find this mindset interesting, especially coupled with the earlier comment that it was "ok" to exceed the speed limit by 10MPH but 3 times the speed limit is reckless endangerment and/or attempted manslaughter. Many of the cars capable of reaching 155MPH can make that happen in less than half a mile distance and WAY under 20 seconds, if you were on a flat road where you could see for a couple of miles, would it be ok to hit 155 and just hold it for 5 seconds, then decrease speed to 10 over and drive forever like that?No government officials at my door. No one preventing me from doing any reasonable thing I want to do. I do not think driving 155mph on public roads is reasonable. Freedom never meant being free to do whatever you want regardless of its potential/material impact on others. Someone who drives 155mph on the highway clearly doesn't care about their impact on others and so yeah, the state needs to intervene in the name of public safety. That's not tyranny - that's just maintaining public safety.
I guess it is ok to break the law within the boundaries you can get away with? (my BIL is a state trooper and he doesn't pull if only 14 over posted). What if everyone decided to drive 100, you couldn't hire enough cops to write tickets.
I'm pretty sure that the key to a law is compliance, not enforcement.
