To the editor: Why doesn’t California strive self-enforcement by permitting the usage of in-vehicle screens to trace a driver’s efficiency (“L.A.’s promise to discover police-free visitors enforcement retains hitting roadblocks,” Oct. 18)? It gained’t determine all issues, however it may be used to uncover egregious g-forces (e.g. avenue racing and avenue takeovers), extreme pace and even when the driving force is texting whereas driving.
California might additionally ban the sale of automobiles that may exceed 85 mph (the utmost authorized pace in any state) and, when there’s a collision the place extreme pace resulted in a dying, sue the producers for promoting an inherently unsafe car. The philosophy right here isn’t any completely different than what California has used to ban sure “assault weapons,” high-capacity magazines and Glocks that may be transformed to totally computerized.
