It's been proven over and over and it's common sense anyway that lower speeds prevents killings and injuries. YOU CAN'T DRIVE TOO SLOW. I don't want my kids run over by you just because your AC doesn't like 20 mph.!!!

Ugh. I hate foot-controlled e-brakes. My cruise doesn't work in manual first, and in manual second my company car will still creep over 25 MPH on a slight downhill (have this exact situation not far from my house, and yes, there is occasionally a speed trap there.) nate
