The Dangers of Obediance
Many years ago, when I lived in Chicago, there was a stretch of I-355 that tended to have people driving an average speed of 70-75 mph. The pavement was in good shape, there were few exit and entrance ramps, and people generally felt comfortable at those speeds. Of course, the speed limit was 55, so quite a few people would get ticketed. I asked myself what would happen if I got myself and a few friends together, we lined our cars up taking up every lane on the highway, and decided to go the speed limit.
I thought it would probably piss off everyone around me, and maybe even start fistfights if people followed us afterwards, so I never tried it. But some Georgia State University students decided to give it a go. And like everyone these days, they took some video and put it on the internet!
I think the below flash box will work. But if it doesn’t, go to Google Video and search for “A Meditation on the Speed Limit.”
