A jump, but not that large. Do you support stops to check for seat belt use? After all, it’s the law. Or is it just one law and not the other you want enforced? How about our truckers? They have laws against driving too many hours here as well. Enforcement sadly lacking there. How about something that is not a law?—-since there are no vehicle inspections in Florida, someone could drive a dangerous piece of crap , but God forbid anyone goes 31 on Morse. Again, the thread was addressing the difficult crossover at 466. I wonder how many accidents occurred midway between 466 and ElCamino, and how many were caused by “speeders”
