Why is Allstate telling me that I am not a safe driver if I exceed a speed of 50 miles/hr?

One of the Allstate commercials touting its safe driver program is two vehicles racing at a drag strip. One car finishes way ahead of another but the loser is happy because he saved $48 on his insurance. The speed shown on his speedometer is 50 miles per hour.

50 miles per hour?

Its the UN sustainability agenda. They want to bring down maximum speeds to 50 mph / 80 kmph all over the world.

So governments have been directed to meet their obligations under the RIO agreement and the sustainability 2030 agenda by directing local government /councils to draw up plans to re-zone / re-speed all highways. In NZ, vast stretches have already had their 100 kmph speed limits dropped to 80 (or 50 mph) under the guise of 'safety' (because god forbid they admit to the real reason)

You have to put this tracker in your car and use the app on your phone. They're mining your data and checking to see if you break traffic laws.

I met an underground utilities locator who had his work truck taken away and was put in a sub-compact car because the GPS unit on his truck slowed down too fast, twice in a month. The company's thought is that he was distracted and had to break hard.
