Growing Pains

I wish I could link the article--I wish I could find it in fact--about some group that's unhappy with how speed limits are set. The way it's been done for years is so that 85% of drivers go the speed limit or less. Apparently, that makes highway driving manageable. But some group is opposed, saying that allowing so many to speed (whatever that means) causes trouble.

In fact, they called it a serious and "growing" problem. That's the part that gets me. Here's this program that's been in places for years, and they've been opposed for years. Yet, whenever they complain, the problem has to be growing. My guess is if it's a problem at all, it's pretty much stabilized by now.
