What is so wrong in applying a governer to all engines.

The first time a driver needed to use acceleration

O.K. so you want to be a naysayer. Assuming you
are willing to accept change and adaptation
that change requires let as look at the actual words
without playing word games to gain a gottcha.
For instance, on a long straightaway with no
oncoming traffic, Ok so we say that people
are going the speed limit since speeding is
prohibitive. No don't play word games



someone decides to pass a
couple of 18-wheelers. So he accelerates
to pass or if it cannot be done without
breaking the speed limits he doesn't do it
tho he could overtake over a period in time
since the governer only regulates not stop.


The car following that
one decides to do the same thing.
Thats O.K. he now has more time to decide
on his options.

Suddenly

No there is no "suddenly" his vehicle will
not allow him to do that tho it will allow
him to ease into the traffic flow where others
could accommodate his actions.

ahead, a car pulls into the oncoming lane from
a side road.
No a car doesn't pull into fast moving traffic
knowing the engine will not respond in such a
dangerous manner. However other cars do not
have a governor to prevent braking while the
other car is moving slowly from a distance


Emergency acceleration would save
lives


Emergency acceleration is still available over 30 miles an hour
and under 65 miles an hour. Most accidents occur at un expected
changes in direction and judgement and in dense areas thus
giving more time for alternate action including brakes.

but it's not available due to a governor.
he has time, a steering wheel and brakes.

Five children are killed. Imagine the outrage.

Deaths occur at high speeds in general or non use of seat belts
Studies have shown that setting speed limits and the use of
seat belts saves lives and remember when the work day starts
congestion rules for the majority.

Don't you think you can adapt quickly in dense traffic
even if the motor cycle you ride allows you to ride with
impudence? Remember the intent is to reduce the use of gasolene
for the Nation not to prevent people to take advantage
of others on the road without looking back at the mayhem
caused to others or are you wearing a straw hat again.
Surely you are not promoting the burning of water as
a more logical way to go while the oil supply burns
in anticipation of success.
