AB 766; Repost

Please check out BikingInLA's post on AB766. It's something everyone should know about, and everyone should get involved in.

The brief explanation:

In order for law enforcement to use radar guns to enforce speed limits on roads, those roads need to be surveyed every 7 years. The survey involves monitoring the average speed of drivers on said road, and the result of the survey is that the speed limit is reset to 85% of the average speed. Therefore, since most drivers speed, the speed limits are usually increased on roads.

Of course, if you don't want the speed limit raised, you can refuse. But then the police cannot enforce the speed limit using radar.

If something sounds wrong with this, do something about it.
