It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

yeah but like what if limiters were a thing?
I guarantee you the safety win from everybody being 10mph slower is gonna be order of magnitudes bigger than whatever hypothetical you could use 10mph more, statistically
You're gonna run out of options soon enough here, modern cars already have things of this nature in them because they don't work without a load of software helping you out and many won't start if they think something is wrong, roll-over prevention on larger vehicles for example. Sometimes even down to stuff like tyre pressure sensors.
It's not like I don't see your point here in some way, but that's not a problem specific to speed limiters and if you draw the line there you'd have to reinvent the whole approach to it anyways. God knows I'm not opposed to it.
