AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!  People, please BE INFORMED !

Speed *does not* Kill, as reported by the Maryland DOT 1989/1990
reports to the govenor state.  "Variations" of speed *KILLS*.
Some idiot going 40 mph on the beltway causes many others to
avoid them.  Had that person not SUPRISED the road-community by
driving so slow, "avoidance" would not be an issue.

Please people, do *not* believe everything you read and accept it as fact.
Why is GEICO so opposed to this higher speed limit and why have
they financed the whole 65 mph campanign, becasue of MONEY!  Money
causes people in corporate american to do things so self-interest.
MONEY is the issue because if the speed limit raises logically
and statistically the number of voilations (total points) decreases,
thus their premiums decrease, thus their prfoits decrease, thus they
pay our lobbists and politican to keep it on the books via "comtributions".

HR 466 in MD was RAILROADED !
