 should legislation be passed in michigan that would allow for certain roads to have their speed limits increased  yes no undecided three reasons not to increase speed limits 1 if msp were to enforce other laws on the highways we would also have a better handle on those who scoff at the laws and create dangers tail gating driving closer than one car length for every 10 miles of speed which is necessary to bring a car safely to a stop in the assured clear distance ahead road rage weaving in and out texting phoning and other laws that are ignored and put the rest of us at risk these dangerous and illegal behaviors exist why would jones propose to reward any of these folks 2 is jones proposing to squander existing tax dollars on changing traffic signs instead of prioritizing it to fix roads and bridges and then change the usage of existing gas tax revenue tied to a proposed sales tax increase 3 why should we accommodate those who break the law and drive faster than the legal posted speed limit what s the next accommodation change the law to suit drug users and dealers illegal immigrants tax cheats welfare cheats wife beaters pedophiles rapists etc changing laws to accommodate those who ignore laws is a poor practice and a slippery slope speed traps never let politicians set speed limits a good example was the speed trap in east lansing that i got shut down gretchen whitmer and mark meadows opposed me i won that one when tickets are written for speed zones that are set low for revenue then citizens suffer and are abused their auto insurance goes up this is all about stopping speed traps rick jones speed limit increase most people already exceed the speed limit so there s no need to make these expensive changes  speed limits until the police prove that they will enforce existing speed limits there should be no increase in speed limits speeding is anything over the posted limit and should be enforced that way we all know that a good percentage of drivers will always drive 510 mph above the posted limit so people will be driving 8590 mph without concern of getting a ticket i pull a 8000 pound trailer on the interstates at just above 60 mph partly because that is what is recommended and partly for safety reasons the last thing i need is for some traffic traveling 2025 mph faster than me the difference in speed of traffic is what makes for unsafe roads no to higher speed limits mr jones  should legislation passed michigan that would allow for certain roads have their speed limits increased
