Xaris posted:to no one's surprise, repaving roads just increases speeds. the ideal case is continued decline of the material base and roads just deteriorating to such a large degree that average speeds decrease they go faster because they have more grip so theyll stop and turn battery but the people who'll crash will still haul rear end on bad roads the way u make people drive safe is unironically make it scary w/ narrow lanes and close barriers it doesn't have to be dangerous but if people don't take it seriously it's a serious thing they'll kill people

I still see trucks fly down washed-out dirt roads. They're always hitting people's dogs.

There would be literal shooting lol Last year when the gas price crisis was in full media blitz the local news had a guy on in an $80K truck crying that he couldn't afford chips for his kid with gas costing $3.87 a gallon. I took that as an implicit admission that he chose feeding his truck over feeding his kid

Tiggum posted:When would it ever be safer to go faster than the speed limit? How would that work? Of course it's universally safer to go slower, with some exceptions like being significantly than the flow of traffic on a freeway. But people don't drive everywhere at 10mph because they actually want to get places, so in general a good driver tries to maintain a speed that's safe for the road, conditions, and surroundings. All I'm saying is that the legal limits are only loosely related to the technically safe speed and shouldn't be treated as gospel just because someone painted a number onto a piece of metal. Those limits are often unreasonably high, but can also be unreasonably low. Other than the risk of a traffic citation it's better to use your best judgment to stay safe.

Hyundai is running an ad here on TV about how you can drive their cars real fast and "leave other commuters where they belong - in your rear view mirror."

I support speed limits made for high skill drivers. But only if that means we only allow high skill drivers on the roads. I propose driving tests every year which really test your skills.

The speed limit is the law and we are a nation of law and order. If you speed by even 1mph for 1 second you should be glued to the pavement and beaten with nailbats

They’re annoying to be behind because you can’t see why traffic in front of you is moving so slow so you just blame the truck Speed limit chat: when I was a kid I’d see those “speed limits enforced by aircraft signs” and for whatever reason I came to the conclusion they had helicopters come and land in front of you to ticket you HashtagGirlboss has issued a correction as of 16:27 on Feb 14, 2024 |

Even in the most slandering stories a citizen of NK has exactly as much input into who becomes leader and who represents them in government as I do and the US is considered to be a democracy. Thus it follows that they too are one. Your steering wheel should turn into snakes next time you speed, and your seat a bear that squeezes the air out of your lungs before you can fulfill your reckless driving destiny of crushing a grade schooler

Monthly exams to keep your driver's license and insurance makes a lot of sense. I would like to see some competency before someone is allowed out on the road.
