Eliminate speeding....

Click on the link above, then scroll down a bit to read about car surveillance devices.

i had written in the past about sensors in cars that would sound an alarm like a seat belt alarm if the car went over the speed limit. Apparently, the technology is already there, as a program for kids....but why not for adults?

Civil Libertarians might not like the idea. But how about as an incentive-getting reduced insurance rates for having it installed? And as a requirement for people with, say, more than two speeding tickets?

This may seem picky, but wouldn't a mandatory alarm save more lives than any other public policy?
