Phuzun posted:I absolutely love when someone speeds past me, weaving through traffic, only for me to catch up several minutes later on the exit ramp. Even better in town, where lights are timed to ensure speeding means you get to sit at a red light while the non-speeders arrive right as it turns green. They lowered the speed limits where I live by 10-15 mph for every road a few years back. They also neglected to change the timing of the lights. Now you get punished with hitting every traffic light if you go the speed limit. American infrastructure at its finest!

I had a ~73 mile each way commute for ~2 years. It involved driving a highway that no one commuted on & where police only harassed truckers. I regularly did the commute home in ~55 minutes. Morning was closer to 70-80 because there was congestion at one of the earlier parts or I took the other highway. Speed limit was ~55-65 for most of it. My take on speed limits is most are set arbitrarily low and it blows. People should drive a natural speed for the road, and generally they do and ignore speed limits unless it's a ticket heavy route. Most highways should be 75 or 80-85 at this point, but there are still states setting it arbitrarily low at ~55. Same with lots of other roads where it bounces between 30 and 50 in what should be a ~55-65 zone. In snow and adverse conditions, which are frequent here, most people drive slower naturally too. If someone wants to go fast(er than me) I always let them pass. I also would just chill if people were going slow. It's going to take about the same amount of time anyway & my schedule was planned with the longer commute in mind. These days I mostly drive ~5-10 over the speed limit because I drive a bunch of stuff where cops love pulling people over and handing out tickets but police here don't ticket for 5-10 over. Need to get into the 15+ zone usually or 10+ and they think they can get you for something else due to profiling your vehicle/road behavior. Speed limits are a poor compromise. The standard should be "are you driving like an rear end in a top hat relative to other drivers?" But that's too subjective so I dunno.

I swear to god. Spent three weeks in a big Audi wagon just flying around the country and it was a gloriously ego-free cooperative experience. Roads were flawless, not a single person on their phones, nobody cruising in the left lane even if they were going wicked fast.

its all nice on rice posted:Probably somewhere in the PNW. Right now, there are at least four dozen people in Subarus driving three under the limit in the left lane down I5. yeah I said earlier in the thread that people do this where I'm at too, and not just a few weirdos but everyone. thing is, they're all in a blind moronic fury at every other driver and angry about the traffic in general so there is tons of aggressiveness and road rage but they haven't collectively worked out how to make highway driving better for everyone so it's just a shitshow. I am from new york and have lived there on and off over the years and for all the poo poo that gets talked about NY/NJ drivers they know how to keep the highway moving so everyone's commute isn't poo poo, and it keeps both the slow drivers and fast drivers mostly happy

There are plenty of dickheads weaving and driving three inches from your bumper while flashing lights when you're overtaking legitimately on the autobahn. Also trying to get into that lane when it's an endless stream of audis and BMWs going 40mph faster than the traffic until they all have to drop anchor because someone managed it is unnecessary stress on both car and driver.

When I drive on the highway in my city at a buck twenty (Canadian) my range meter thing usually stays the same or goes up. Driving faster is more effective! The limit on that highway is 90. But North America cities are trash. I've been watching Not Just Bikes on YouTube a lot and now I long for the superior Dutch city. https://youtu.be/bglWCuCMSWc Vroooooooooooooom

The limit on that highway is 90. My local council has been trying to petition against the final stage of a bikeway, connecting the two 20km- 30km major bikeways in my city to one fully linked 50km bikeways. Roads and transport is pushing hard for a carefree city thing in the next 10 years, which I'm all for. Can't wait for it to be done sometime next year

It's cool to go fast. Although I agree cars should be banned and everybody should use public transport. But until that's viable I'm going to drive like a maniac and if I drive through the side of a Starbucks then serves you right for letting your average person be in control of a 1 ton death machine.

If you're a speeder in my city, you will have a stroke trying to drive in some neighborhoods where the locals drive at speeds ranging from "such a nice day for a drive" to "I think we turn left up here somewhere oh wait it's a little further" I keep it to 5-10mph above the posted limit, or just...go with traffic. I got smokes and a radio, a few extra minutes doesn't bother me.

Sophy Wackles posted:What’s the deal with assholes laying on their horn behind me when I’m waiting for pedestrians to cross in the crosswalk? You want me to murder those people so you can get to your destination 10 seconds faster? gently caress you. a while ago there was a cat on the highway during morning rush hour so it closed for a few mins so they could catch it. people were incensed. "It's just a cat!" So they were ok with a cat getting murdered so they could get to work 15 minutes sooner that day. By the law of transitive property, this means that they would be willing to murder a cat every day to get to work 15 minutes earlier.

I am an active driver. Not a reactive driver. Speed limits on highways where I drive are 55 mph, but very few people actually drive that slow. The typical speed people drive is about 65 in the right lane and 75 in the passing lane. Anyone driving 55 in the passing lane is actually subject to a ticket in my state. The passing lane is for passing and if you’re just cruising going the speed limit in the passing lane then gently caress you. I 100% recognize that when I’m going 75 instead of 55 it’s not saving that much time, however the total lack of stimulation and shear boredom that occurs when you’re driving behind some slow rear end in a top hat makes the whole trip seem a million times longer. It’s like watching the world’s shittiest movie about a trunk.
