No worries folks. With such things as On-Star, GPS, and all the new technology coming out in cars, I'm quite sure that sometime in the very near future, there will be an option for the car to give a warning. It would not be a huge leap for most GPS systems to also have data about speed zones in particular areas, or for speed signs to have transponders, which could be compared with the reading of the vehicle speed (which is done via the wheel speed sensors on most ABS systems now and also via GPS systems built into a lot of newer cars), and then if you're over the limit, a voice would say "Hey, leadfoot, slow your s#$& down!!" I already have a feature on my car for times if I'm using snow tires, where I can program in a max allowable speed for snow tires and get a warning if I go over that. Now, the NEAT trick would be if it would also warn you when your in the left lane and going way too slow. Yep, it could say "Hey stupid, you're blocking everyone, and this is a passing lane as well, so get the HE## over, huh!"
