Why do we need to review a law that took effect only this past January and failed to be modified only this past spring? Could it be that you are looking for any possible means to kill the speed limit? That's what I think.

If you really want to "put a halt" to this kind of scrutiny all you need to do is stop trying to "back door" eliminate the speed limit.
You would think wrong. I stand by my statement when I said prioritize (safe pasage and SL included), I did not say put them on the bottom of the list of priorities. I used the word as noted below.

pri·or·i·tize/prīˈôrəˌtīz/

Verb:

1.Designate or treat (something) as more important than other things: "prioritize your credit card debt".
