What you need to know… This is going to happen, sadly, sooner or later.
State lawmakers in California are now pushing for electronic speed Limiters for 2027 and beyond vehicles. This is in addtion to the work at the federal level on this issue.
The Biden administration, via the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), have introduced Kill Switches and Speed Limiters for 2027 and beyond vehicles.
NHTSA is asking for public input. Please ensure that you provide input regarding this new proposal at regulations.gov by searching for the docket number, NHTSA-2022-0079, and follow the instructions for making comments.

My Take – This is a big DOWN SHIFT for individual freedom and the right to travel.
What you need to know… “Not In My Backyard” is coming for a famous American racetrack.
Laguna Seca raceway is under attack as California NIMBY coalition seeks to shutdown world famous track.
Stating that the racetrack is a “public nuisance” the “Highway 68 Coalition” cites the following:
Increased use of the track.
Sound levels are more than permitted levels.
Claiming that zoning prevents racing.
Increased traffic
Inadequate and poor-quality water
Inadequate sewage disposal due to expansion of camping.
Laguan Seca is now owned by the County of Monterey and generated $250 million dollars in 2022.
My Take – Another big DOWN SHIFT. Way to often these NIMBY efforts are successful. Love Laguna Seca now, it might not be there in the future.
Ride on, Ride Safe
