Anybody ever try to drive NO MORE than 20 MPH for 2 - 3 CONSECUTIVE miles in a real car ???!! Probably impossible unless you are driving in first gear or going thru Atlanta during the rush hour! This should be a wonderful revenue producer for the county's coffers. This half baked law should earn us a better speed trap reputation than those redneck speed trap towns on HY 301 coming down from the North.
I can't ever remember seeing any notices published that this 20 mph law was even being considered. Another example of underworked, overpaid, and uneducated bureaucrats worring about our "safety" even though most of us have managed quite fine with common sense for our 65 to 90 years. Next it will be seat belts for bicycles to keep us from falling off or mandatory trikes to keep from falling over.
