IT BEGINSquote:A federal judge in San Francisco has allowed a civil lawsuit filed against Uber by an advocacy group for the blind to proceed. quote:In addition, some UberX drivers seriously mishandle guide dogs or harass blind customers with guide dogs even when they do not outright deny the provision of taxi service. For example, Leena Dawes is blind and uses a guide dog. An UberX driver forced Ms. Dawes’ guide dog into the closed trunk of the UberX sedan before transporting Ms. Dawes. When Ms. Dawes realized where the driver had placed her dog, she pleaded with the driver to pull over so that she could retrieve her dog from the trunk, but the driver refused her request. Other blind customers with guide dogs have been yelled at by Uber drivers who are hostile toward their guide dogs.

Wow. I'm absolutely horrified by the responses to this article, at the Spectator, of all places. I'm seeing a sorry mix of cotton-headed conventional wisdom ("Slow down! Speed kills! Save a life") and obsequiousness with regard to your state and local government masters. Speed limits, speed cameras, traffic cops, and all other associated items are all, without exception, first and foremost revenue generation devices. The numbers on a sign are almost always arbitrary, set by people who are chauffeur-driven, and ignorant of facts on the ground. It's appalling to me that in the wreckage of a republic of supposedly free citizens, we have to scan the horizon ceaselessly for armed and badged revenue agents. Wacky libertarianism is open-borders stuff; this still exists within the realm of principle. And if you feel the speed limit is sacred, then for God's sake, get out of the left lane. paging hp hovercraft

That A/T thread about highway engineering contained a post from the OP about how some olds demanded a speed survey on their road because  KIDS ARE DRIVING TOO FAST so the highway engineers came out and did a speed survey to re-evaluate the road's speed limit then set the speed limit higher
