YOU ARE NOT MAKING ANY SENSE.

think about it

if the government can freely impose a speed limit without being bound by these things called HUMAN RIGHTS, like the right to TRAVEL (not drive), then literally what is standing between them doing that and them dispatching their robotic mind control spiders that will drill into my brain while i sleep and make me dance like THEIR PUPPET

Fair enough. I thought it was going to be some sort of weird conspiracy theory. Yes, I think the spider rollout is due to start as soon as the 20MPH zone is established outside the Sainsbury's in Chipping Sodbury.
