Toll tags in Texas (OT)

Of course 150 mph is going to be fine ... until you round a curve and run into a car you
didn't see in time. The engineers who built this stretch of road carefully measured it out and
calculated it so that you would have enough time to see the cars ahead when going the
speed-limit. Of course, going on gut feeling instead of careful measurement, you chose to
second-guess them.

An excellent example of this was Air Florida Flight 90. The pilots' opinion of deicing the jet
was "Well, it satisfies the Feds", so they skipped it, rather than delay the flight. Because
they knew better than the blanket government rules, their trip from Washington D.C. to Tampa
ended in the Potomac River with 78 dead.
