Only thing better would be if it was a 57 Chevy or a 1958 Plymouth Fury

unsafe operation is already illegal - as is ‘I dont like you so heres a ticket’ operation.

“but a good driver with experience and practice can “threshold brake”-bring their tires to the limit of grip and hold them there.”

Non-zero chance Trump funds a Skunkworks project to build a 40 story sharpie he can have draw lines around Democratic cities to denote the next wave.

Yeah, for inter-city distances, rail just seems a better solution. But rail definitely cuts into it being ‘dynamic’ with traffic mgmt/lane changes etc.

One issue is that for ‘deliveries’ hauling an shipping container around isn’t going to be at all efficient if you only are dropping off 1/10th of it.

The sign did not say “One TWUE Way” so reverse is not allowed
