IO: I hate Speed Limits!!1 - Page 2

Well then this should set well with you..when I was a motor cop, I gave violators a 15 mph cushion over the posted speed limit; except if it was a school zone, you'd only get a 10 mph pad during school hours...

happy motoring.

Zoots, where the hell are you going at .05 feet per second?

Idiot, slow down.

That's really generous actually

I don't mind speed limits that much. I usually drive a bit over the build up area speed limit because I can drive in 4th gear that way (60 kph instead of 50). I usually drive 130-140 where 120 is allowed on the highway because for me, that's just a really comfortable speed to drive at when it's relatively quiet on the roads. In heavy traffic I usually drive a bit slower and I leave the left lane to all the alpha males (which I usually see again at the next traffic lights: speeding and changing lanes a lot in heavy traffic is completely useless, counterproductive and only makes you look like a prick).

I think a lot of it depends on the road and the conditions.

I like to drive fast on fairly open interstates, but have no problem driving around the speed limit in the city or crawling along in heavy traffic. I know accidents can still happen on lightly traveled roads, but if the road isn't very busy it's not as likely (or at least not as likely to involve another vehicle).

When the roads are more crowded I always figure there is nowhere I need to be so badly that I am willing to unduly risk killing or maiming myself or others to gain a few minutes. I'd much rather deal with being late to an appointment or whatever than to deal with knowing my actions caused someone else to be scraped off the road.

I think speed limites are essential, and people who do not follow them are imbeciles. 5km more speed makes a huge difference to braking distance. Ah, fuck it. I won't argue. This is an IO thread.

Just be careful, huh. We all think it won't happen to us.

Thanks. Yeah, that's actually pretty generous of you! NY state cops are way too strict.

Exactly! And the roads here are never crowded. There is so much space all over the place and that makes it all the more difficult to stick to the low speed limit! You people understand what I'm saying now? The same limits would be no problem in NJ cos that state is crowded as fuck!

You know what's pimp-ass? Having the driver in front of you going about 20 in a 35, and then stopping for no reason every 10 seconds!

Where's Sammy Hagar when you need him?

**Bonochick** · 05-13-2007, 06:08 PM

He's grounded.

verte76 · 05-14-2007, 03:59 PM

I don't pay any attention to them. Unfortunately, this gets me speeding tickets. Damn!
