On the one hand, you want to not have limits on speed or rate of lane
changes, because you don't think they are good indicators of lack of
safety in driving.  On the other hand you also are not able to provide a
good substitute for inclusion in the CVC.  I personally think we need
either the one or the other.

Did you want to reduce the CVC to a series of clauses essentially saying
'judgement call'?
