CARSON CITY, Nevada -- One Nevada gubernatorial hopeful sees a speedy fix to Nevada's budget crisis.

Nonpartisan candidate "Gino" DiSimone believes people would pay for the privilege to drive up to 90 mph on designated highways -- and fill the state's depleted coffers.

DiSimone calls his idea the "free limit plan." He estimates the plan would bring in $1 billion a year.

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.

The Nevada Highway Patrol isn't keen on the idea, saying it would lead to increased injuries and traffic deaths.

I know this guy too, he lives right by me! What a dumb$hit.

And what kinda 'collective insurance pot' is he gonna have set aside to pay for all the deaths ... ? You just KNOW there's gonna be some assshats out there pushin' the limit just 'cuz they paid their money to do it ... I know it's just the audition period for the Darwin Awards, but the ones who take their chromosomes outa the gene pool can also take out others that should stay in ... This is just stupid ...

America needs an Autobahn but that plan is just GAY and I do not mean in a festive way!

Except for the cops, the Interstate's as close as we're gonna get to an A'bahn ...

I think I see where he get's the idea from. Between Reno and Carson City is a stretch that is 70mph and you can push 80mph before you get pulled over. Not paying attention I have done 90 and 100.

Also between Tonopah and Carson is some long and diserted stretches, so I could see where he is thinking 90mph, but it's still to dangerous.

The Nevada Department of Public Safety and the Nevada Highway Patrol are going to come out against this guy, and they should. I've met him before and he hasn't been this warped before.
