With disk braking, better suspension, tyres, etc, reducing the stopping distance to a fraction of what it used to be, the speed limit should be around 200mph.
Did you get your nervous system upgraded as well ? I for one will not be able to react quick enough if i was driving at 200 mph or for that matter even 100 mph/P
This decision has been made previously and has been in operation for more than a decade in Netherlands and for some years now in London.I have driven on Crompton road before and after the conversion and the road is much easier to drive on. Nobody speeds like they used to,drivers and pedestrians pay more attention and make eye contact . The other advantage is the traffic flows quicker , its the throughput that matters rather than raw speeds.
As it happened, the heater in my car broke shortly before the freezing rain, so my defroster didn't work below about 15 MPH. Traffic was moving at a brisk 1 or 2 MPH for many miles as we all made our way home, with cars forming a densely packed block on the road for a couple miles. Visibility out of my windshield was extremely poor, so I had to navigate largely based upon the appearance of the white center line and side white line.
In the UK , if spotted by the police , you would have faced being charged with driving without due care or perhaps even dangerous driving.
As a matter of fact it was Khrushchev and Kennedy, both active participants in the World war , who defused the situation. If they had deferred to their military and other professional advisers , the world as we know would not exist.
I'll admit I haven't seen the move or read the book, but where in hell does he get the seeds and fertilizer to grow plants in Martian soil?
There is a plausible explanation in the book for this (the mission had neither fertilizer nor seeds as such). My recommendation is to read a book - it's not that long and quite enjoyable.
It would probably be more logical if your government limited the number of private cars or introduced congestion pricing instead of restricting public transport.
It is a matter of principle - A british court has ruled the EAW to be valid . Assange has exhausted all his appeals and is now a fugitive from the law. If the government were not to attempt to enforce the court's order , the home secretary will find herself in hot water with the judiciary and in the parliament.
By voluntarily submitting himself to the british courts and then refusing to comply once the decisions dint fall his way , assange has left the uk no option.It was a massive miscalcualtion by Correa that has led to this situation.
One can see David Cameron jog around the Mall and St James park with usually about 2 or so bodyguards every now and then . I presume they are armed but there is no attempt to seal the area or any interference with the other people around..
From the article " This, in the very country where the majority of the population fights against government regulations, red tape and bureaucracy.".
So how do you explain in no particular order - TSA , Medicaid , Medicare,Police and of course your legal system. I am afraid Americans like to believe they retain the pioneer spirit and the there are no rules ethos from two centuries ago but the fact is you say you hate bureaucracy and then embrace it so long as its packaged properly.
Text of 2nd Amendment - A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Where does it prohibit felons from being gun owners?
Actually , till that prize idiot Galtieri buggered it up by invading , the conservative government of Margaret Thatcher was considering adopting a hong kong style sale and lease back . The story then , as is now , was defense cuts and the absolute bonkers sums of money it costs us to keep those sheep farmers safe.The Argentine government finds it a convenient issue to deflect attention from its economic woes.And no UK PM will forego an opportunity to display his utter devotion to our peace and security by loudly professing the safety of the falklands while decimating our armed forces.
The ability to read a book or watch tv without disturbing the other half will be worth the premium! Now if anyone can point where i can register my interest.
I would pay particular attention to the third article which shows the depths of illogicality to which the American Justice system has plummeted. Justice is often depicted as a blindfolded woman - the idea being that justice is impartial to everything else except the law.A corollary might be that the Judge delivering the ruling isn't important, same cases before different judges ought to produce the same result.The US Supreme court has too much power in terms of the individuals that make it and not so much as an institution. After all its the election / rejection of individual judges that results in endless conjecture about the overturning of the abortion judgement , the outcome of cases before the court etc.
If you consider the President of the England And Wales Supreme Court, Lord Igor Judge, people other than the parliamentary circus , the legal profession and a handful of Times and Telegraph readers don't know him from adam. After all , if personalities were important, One would hardly have a Lord Chief Justice called Judge Judge!!

you will be surprised how many brown people voted to leave , hint hint Commonwealth citizens are allowed the vote as well.
Heavy traffic is less safe than light traffic. .
Prove it. I on the other hand think heavy traffic is safer as you cant over-speed and have to pay attention to your surroundings.

An ebook reader and a video viewer - so you could read /watch either of the two without disturbing the missus' sleep.
