2025-02-02

Arrr, matey! A new law be brewin' in the land of Washington, where scallywags caught speedin' be forced to strap a pesky speed limiter to their trusty ships! No more flyin' like a cannonball, or ye might find yerself walkin' the plank! Har har!

Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn from the far-off shores of Washington state, where the landlubbers in the legislature be concoctin' a curious contraption to keep the reckless sea dogs of the road in check. They be callin’ it House Bill 1596, a decree that demands scallywags with a penchant for speedin' to fit their vessels—err, cars—with a magical box of limitin' device, savvy?

Ye see, these clever devices be usin’ the stars—nay, GPS technology—to keep the ruffians from sailin’ past the posted speed limits. Aye, if ye be caught actin’ like a land-based Blackbeard, ye might still push the pedal to the metal thrice a month, but after that, ye best be keepin’ it slow, lest ye face the wrath of the traffic gods!

Aye, the bill be brought forth by the likes of Rep. Mari Leavitt, who claims we be losin’ good folk to the sea of speeding accidents. “These aren’t mere mishaps,” she bellows, “but mischief afoot!” Yet, some skeptics, like Rep. Gloria Mendoza, be scratchin’ their noggins, wonderin’ how lettin' speeders keep their licenses in any way helps the situation. Aye, the debate be as stormy as a pirate's quarrel over the last barrel of rum! The fate of this bill be uncertain, but one thing be clear—ye best be watchin’ yer speed if ye be cruisin’ through Washington!
