Good. I don't understand why speedometers go up to 130 mph. I don't know why Americans feel they have a God-given right to break the speed limit. If you aren't going 10-20 mph over the speed limit, you're not following the flow of traffic. I will be going the posted speed limit of 65 mph (and not in the far-left "fast lane") and have had so many insane aggressive drivers tailgate me and road rage. The de facto speed limit is always higher than the posted one. If they update the posted limit to match what is followed and enforced, then the de facto speed limit will increase.

Laws that are on the books but rarely enforced is a recipe for abuse. It is unjust that I, as an immigrant to this country who can be deported if I commit crimes, have to violate the posted law in order to keep up with the flow of traffic.

Edit: Actually, it looks like this just informs the driver that they are going over the speed limit. Not good. It needs to physically restrict the speed of the car.
