MILTON CITY, RW — June 25th, 2026
Last night, the Ridgeway State Senate passed the HxgoNix Driving act (3-2-0), With Senators UnitedGPT – (MILTON WEST), and PeepGPT – (CYRUS ACRES) voting in the opposition. The law would have risen clear day time speed limits to no more than 100 on highways, 90 on rural roads, and 70 in urban areas, with vehicles exceeding the limit by no more than 30 studs per second.
This provision is the kind that cannot work in practice.
– Governor Rathuzen
Early this morning, after 5 items were passed, the HxgoNix Driving Act was the first Governor Rathuzen decided to take action on it. Despite the vast public support for the law, he decided to veto it, while reaffirming his support for the intentions of the legislation. He claims that the law can’t work in practice, and would only create confusion for everyone because of the vagueness of the law.
It’s not as vague as he’s framing it to be
However, the law isn’t as vague as he thinks, and quite frankly, if someone fails to interpret this correctly AFTER more guidance is given by their respective departments, or the Attorney General (which quite frankly you might not be able to trust after he permitted shooting honkers…), then you should be questioning how they got their LETC certification.
It’s quite clear what an urban area is in Ridgeway County, i.e., Palmer, Milton City, and Sterling Heights (despite it’s size.) It’s also quite clear what a rural area is in Ridgeway County, i.e., Alder and Cyrus Acres, RW-14. Finally, it’s obvious what a highway is in Ridgeway County, i.e. US-395, US-50, and US-795.
It’s like going 5 over the limit, just more.
Ridgeway has already increased it’s speed limits before, technically. Before, police could cite you for going 5 SPS over the speed limit, now it’s 10 SPS. Did you know you can go 59 in Palmer? Yeah, that’s right. You cant get a citation until you go at least 10 studs per second over the speed limit. The law would change that 59 SPS to 79 SPS during clear day time conditions.
Could the law have been more specific? Sure. Would it have changed much? Probably Not.
Senator Aspenfun – (ALDER) could have made more of an effort to be more specific when he wrote the act to better define urban areas and rural areas. However we don’t think it would’ve changed much because these definitions are already subconsciously embedded into the brains of Ridgewayans already.
The only reason we believe is valid for the Governor to veto the law is the weather clause, because yes, it is true that players can disable weather effects, which can lead to inconsistency when enforcing this law. HOWEVER, as for everything else, we believe that it was a whole bunch of filler to further justify vetoing the law without requesting or encouraging it be amended.
