Actually, bringing this back around to PICs, you put the slowest processor at the front of the data stream, and everybody else will never have to worry about being overloaded. I used to work for a company (TSC, Technology Systems Corp (no website that I could find) [although http://www.tsc.com/ is interesting]) which based its manufacturing consulting engineering on a book where this was the example.

Funny, it always worked for us in scout hikes. You put the fast guys in the back. No gripes, no complaints, and no searching for lost kids. The only little problem with your scheme is that it is unenforcable. How is the cop supposed to tell who has the fast license, and who has the slow one? (Other than going through the wallets once they find the appropriate body parts) I rather like CHP's approach, they tag you for driving like an idiot, no matter what speed, and leave you alone if you aren't causing trouble. The only problem I have with this approach is that the laws are going unenforced, which encourages people to break other laws. If you post it, enforce it.
