well said. turning right means that you have to cross oncoming traffic.
seriously, there is the small issue of overtaking a vehicle / vehicles on a two lane interstate highway. the more time you spend on the wrong side of the road, the more danger you are exposed to.
then there is the issue of motorsport. many owners of performance vehicles like to be able to enjoy the cars capabilities in a controlled environment. do you really believe that the police will be there to disconnect speed limiters? FFS, they dont have enough staff to properly patrol our roads and respond to crime, how ill they find the time to attend functions such as these? as for CAMS doing the work, that would leave both CAMS and the person farting around with your car wide open for legal action in the event of something going wrong.
the idea of limiting cars is impractical and dangerous. further, it is impossible to police. it is the kind of knee jerk reaction that politicians raise in an attempt to appease the mindless masses, especially as they know it buys votes and is so impractical as to be completely worthless.
