Fixating on reducing vehicle speed limits, without regard to the real cause of cyclists' risk from motorists (i.e. driver inattention to actual conditions), is another feel good-accomplish nothing significant advocacy campaign.
That would be correct. In all the tiresome whining I do about the S.FL area
one needs to keep in mind people are going a good 15mph over the speed limit
anyway. 35mph here means 50 minimally, 55 on Fridays. If they give me
even 24" Im happy. I may have typed the other stuff too soon though.....
There are already laws on the books regarding safety for us. There is no
enforcement of any laws, speeding, 3 feet, or otherwise so its all moot, anyway.
