While I agree with your example, this law also applies to an 82 year old on a step thru that has a power limit of 15mph.

It's a bit of a misguided approach, seemingly signed into law by a Governor on his last day in office.

Walking home from shop the other day.
Dumb kid zooms past us on the grass from behind because the footpath is rather narrow. No lights, dressed all dark (it was evening and dark already).
Couple more idiot children zoom past on the road, blowing past a car stopped at a stop sign, almost hit pedestrian crossing the road at a crosswalk. Again all dark clothing, no lights. They're a disaster waiting to happen, but at this point...fuck em
