Iowa Raises Speed Limit to 70!

Apr 19, 2005 12 Replies

Its about time. Honestly, I never thought I'd see the day in this state. So many insurance companies in Des Moines with so much political power. We got the first 5 mph out of them, in a couple more years we can go for the next 5!


65 mph in a wide open state like Iowa was ridiculous. Everybody went
75 and risked a ticked. Now we can all go 75 without worry (despite the governer saying the new limit will be tightly enforced. We all know that is hotwash!). Phew!

Hopefully we'll be able to do 80 in a couple of years like all the progressive states to the west of us.

So people unfortunate enough to be there can get out faster?

There needs to be a system whereby I-70 would become a limited autobahn allowing a speed limit of 85 possibly 90 mph. Three things would need to be present.

  1. A separate class of operator licence based on visual accuity, physical reflexes, and a written test.
  2. Vehicle safety inspection.

  1. Express bypasses around metro business loops.

Also: INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WILL NOT FEED THE TROLL THAT ENTERED THE THREAD. INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WILL NOT FEED THE TROLL THAT ENTERED THE THREAD. INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WILL NOT FEED THE TROLL THAT ENTERED THE THREAD.

Does this include "excluding" vehicles from such roads that are demonstrably unsafe at such speeds, like so many SUVs and trucks?

Well done! Very effective when "Also:" is the last line on the window!!

Sure, There'd have to be a list of prohibited modifications (mostly suspension related, e.g. ride-height, etc.). Then specific factory stock vehicles could be excluded on the basis of test database performed on stock platforms.

  1. Resistance to brake fade.
  2. Emergency lane change behavior.
  3. List of safe tires and known substandard tires.

O.T.

I'm just pipe-dreaming of course. The country's teetering on the brink of financial meltdowm. The first order of business would be to round up ALL the CRIMINAL (illegal) aliens, send them home, then secure the borders with concertina wire and landmines.

No, I'm not kidding, that's what concertina wire and landmines are for: for securing national borders against INVASION. It's time to hang the Republicans & Democrats for treason.

Could you remind me again of the recent history of your country? I mean just the last 300 years or so.

It's tough to resist a troll isn't it?
