What an impending disaster.
1) Safety. The biggest problem on highways isn't speed. It's speed differential. So if you have people in older cars still cranking out 80 mph on the highway, and someone in a new car is limited to 65 mph, that speed differential is going to be a problem. Similar problem for on the street, though admittedly it'll be 50 mph vs 25 mph. I would predict that car crashes will go up because of this law. Well, at least until everyone's got a car built after 2027, which will inly take about 25 years here in California where cars don't rust.
2) Kill new car sales. Plenty of people will still buy new cars. But plenty will hang on to their older cars, thereby hurting new car sales. It's a bit like how the high end real estate market in LA tanked after the coty passed an extra tax (designed to fight homelessness) on residential sales over $5 mil.
