I see a bunch of strawmen and ad hominems, and none of them have been Kozmonaut, sooooo ...

I would just like to say, if this is what I sounded like when I was posting about how great a driver I am and speed limits shouldn't apply to me and blah blah blah when I first started posting in AI as a teenager, good god, I'm sorry.

Is there a speed limit on shitposting?

There is, but it hasn't been enforced since two ~~sheriffs~~ mods ago :v:

Highway speeding etiquette is kind of all over the place in the US, having lived in major cities and rural areas on both coasts. There are plenty of places where 55mph is just the traditional freeway speed limit and if you�re not doing 75-85 you�re getting passed by literally every one. Where I live now, however, everyone barely does 60 on the 55 highways and I rejoice when the limit gets bumped to 65 for a few miles.

It�s not exactly relevant to the speeding slap fight but I always found it interesting how it seems to be a local culture thing more than anything else. It often doesn�t seem to be related to the size or quality of the road.

Except, anecdotally, toll roads are always way more likely to be unofficial autobahns.

Yep. In some areas, lane discipline is also a thing, but it's rare. I hate where everyone is going to go exactly the speed limit (or 1 under because reasons) and they also don't ever let anyone pass.

The only race allowed in this thread is race car.

Yeah, because we don't see color here.

Also it�s super weird and gross that a few people seem to think they should prosecute who you are as a person for an opinion they disagree with.

�He said people should follow the speed limit, I should go stalk his post history and try to get a sick burn, loving boomer moron!�

The thing about "Nanny Nag" commentary jumped out at me - there's a few posters who do that here. One guy in the EV thread was talking about putting a arm weight or a waterbottle on his steering wheel to bypass the safety measures.

Autopilot is a mistake.

e: Oh, yeah, it's that guy \/\/\/
