03/29/2004: "What driver's ed class did this guy take, and was it for cars, or Segues?"

Nick Coleman in Sunday's Strib:

These calculations, of course, are based on an assumption that Wilkin drives responsibly, not exceeding the current speed limit, which, as we all know from driver's ed, is the safe maximum speed for ideal conditions.

Ummm... no, Nick, that's not where speed limits come from. If that was the case, we'd all be dead from driving 75 mph on Interstates that used to be limited at 55. And "ideal conditions?" Ummmm, no again. Speed limits are set to be acceptable speeds for day and night, even for when it might be RAINING!
