Proposal to raise N.Texas speed limits troubles some police
However, Balch Springs Police Chief Ed Morris says even five miles an hour is a bad idea for the short stretch of 635 in his city.
"It could make that big of a difference, yes," said Morris. "The faster you go, when you do have an accident, it makes the accident that much worse. The crash could be a whole lot worse, even two or three miles an hour."
Me thinks he sees some revenue going out the window.Don't worry chief you can make it up on rolling stop signs and illegal lane change citations.
You know the real dangerous stuff.When cops are worried for my safety I start to worry.
It's not like anybody does the limit there now I like the raising of limits.It cuts down on the hassling opportunities for the enforcers.
