Gubernatorial Candidate Wants to Sell Speeding Passes for $25

http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/09/05/1823204/Gubernatorial-Candidate-Wants-to-Sell-Speeding-Passes-for-25
If Nevada gubernatorial candidate Eugene "Gino" DiSimone gets his way, $25 will buy you the right to drive up to 90mph for a day. DiSimone estimates his "free limit plan" will raise $1 billion a year for Nevada. From the article: "First, vehicles would have to pass a safety inspection. Then vehicle information would be loaded into a database, and motorists would purchase a transponder. After setting up an account, anyone in a hurry could dial in, and for $25 charged to a credit card, be free to speed for 24 hours."
