I didn't see a post covering this particular variant of what's going on so here's my take on it. I'm all for the testing and whatnot as I find it very interesting as well as probably the next step in our future, although, I don't think that the "higher-ups" should be able to "tap" into the information on our phone unless you and it were in an accident. As far as speed and driving the speed limit... it's not so much that speed kills nor is it what really bothers me. What bothers me is the erratic way that some drivers.. drive. It's not how fast they are going, it's how they are driving! I can't tell you how many times I have been "cut-off" or watched someone around me get "cut-off" by some erratic driver that thinks the public highway system is for their own personal use and that no one else has a right to use it! Just ask almost anyone who drives close or in any major city! It's not so much about the "speedsters", it's more about the reckless endangerment of people around those who drive erratically. When you can stop people from driving "reckless and erratic" then accidents will start to decline... it's not so much about speeding as most seem to think here.
