If benchmarks are not being used now to implement a speed limit. Benchmarks will not used to keep it. The same people that told the same stories in support the speed will come out again and tell a different story, that the its made a huge positive difference. One word vs another. IT WILL be next to impossible to rescind this law after its in place and the supporters know that. Once a law is in place, it's hard to remove it. The sunset clause was nothing more than a way to attract more votes of those on the fence, no relevance.
