we need to speed the transition to electric cars so the air pollution only kills those who live near the power plant or the lithium mine

This is pretty different from something like a dvd player where it's presumably not illegal for people to modify their own car to get around it and you would have no way of knowing. mystes has issued a correction as of 15:23 on Jul 6, 2022 |

mystes posted:If you gave people tickets the second they went over the speed limit anywhere, it would absolutely work. The reason even countries like the netherlands don't do that is because drivers wouldn't like it. This is pretty much the system in China. No one speeds, but annoyingly enough many go under the speed limit. Which can be just as dangerous

if a surgeon can only drive 55 mph and it makes them late to the ER to save a patient, is that not just as bad as a Tesla slamming into you from behind at 100 mph?

"if there's time for that" applies to every traffic collision, I don't know why one party going slower would change that. If anything them going slow makes it easier to predict their movements and get yourself out of the way - as opposed to like someone merging onto the highway while going 85 mph off the ramp

your reaction time and braking distance would be significantly improved traveling at the speed limit rather than the customary 10 - 20mph over (regional variances allowed)

The problem in that scenario is that they're cutting you off, not driving below the speed limit.

you should be oscillating between the min and max speed limits to keep everyone on their toes

Speed limits should also be no higher than 30 km/h anywhere on earth. Good for fuel economy, good for collision safety, bad for entitled "proletariat" babies
