To a degree, yes. Of course, many motorists will have other reasons for opposing such legislation, but I'm sure many will say it's just about the convenience of motorists (and yet few motorists will make such a claim.)
Did you notice that the poster indicated that the governor should only hold cars to the posted limit... in other words he merely wants motorists to obey the law. Hope that's not too inconvenient for those drivers.
That's what the police are for.
Governors are expensive. And people will argue that their privacy is violated. And they'll argue that the system can't possibly always know the speed limit, and they'll argue that they need to exceed the speed limit in some situations. And no matter how weak these arguments may seem ... nobody will want to pass such legislation, as it would mean the end of their political careers.
I guess the next step is a device that forces all bicycles to stop at all red lights and stop signs and not continue until it's legal to do so?
