To the editor: Why doesn’t California attempt self-enforcement by permitting using in-vehicle screens to trace a driver’s efficiency (“L.A.’s promise to explore police-free traffic enforcement keeps hitting roadblocks,” Oct. 18)? It gained’t establish all issues, however it may be used to uncover egregious g-forces (e.g. road racing and road takeovers), extreme velocity and even when the driving force is texting whereas driving.
California may additionally ban the sale of automobiles that may exceed 85 mph (the maximum legal speed in any state) and, when there’s a collision the place extreme velocity resulted in a loss of life, sue the producers for promoting an inherently unsafe automobile. The philosophy right here is not any totally different than what California has used to ban sure “assault weapons,” high-capacity magazines and Glocks that may be transformed to completely computerized.
