But zigzag in and out of traffic, cause as many accidents as you want and never receive a ticket. The police only ticket dui and speeding nowadays. Drive with your headlights off, run a cop into another lane, race with your friends at 110mph on I25 and never receive a ticket. |

This could be a good thing... it may mean more drivers contesting tickets in court, and heaven forbid people actually make their voices heard for higher speed limits instead of silently accepting speeding tickets every now and again. Of course the moronic lemmings will probably just fight the fines though. Cory |

<sorry, I can't snip>
People's voices? Peoples is stupid, and you can quote me on that. Peoples... ignore speed limits now. I don't think that's gonna change just because limits are higher. Raising in-town limits from 35 to say, 50... won't save two minutes on a 10 mile trip. And people who feel comfortable driving 10 over at all times will drive 10 over the 50 limit. All speeders get for their speeding across short distances is the illusion of faster travel, the possibility of being cited and heartburn because every other vehicle seems to be intentionally impeding their travel. What every other driver gets is more screwed up traffic. The large number of speeding drivers prevent others from pulling out in traffic by closing the gap between themselves and the next vehicle at too fast a rate. Almost all peoples today base their speed on the vehicle in front of them. If the distance to the next vehicle is 100 yards... or 400... the the goal is to close that gap to about 30 feet. The problem with raising limits is the peoples driving brain dead. That's about 75% of 'em. And 100% of the elderly peoples can't see as well as you and don't enjoy your depth perception or reaction times. I know you and the 75% are about to pee your pants to be first at the next traffic control device but I fail to see what the rush is. What is the rush? ----- - gpsman |

Most people will drive at the highest speed they are comfortable with on a given road, regardless of speed limit. > All speeders get for their speeding across short distances is the > illusion of faster travel, the possibility of being cited and heartburn > because every other vehicle seems to be intentionally impeding their > travel. I typically cruise along in the right lane occasionally passing someone. Though here in NJ the right lane is usually just about empty and the passing lanes are chock full of morons, so that allows me to move along pretty quickly and unimmpeded at whatever speed I desire. > What every other driver gets is more screwed up traffic. The large > number of speeding drivers prevent others from pulling out in traffic > by closing the gap between themselves and the next vehicle at too fast > a rate. In town limits are good at the typical 25-35 MPH for such places. Anything more is probably not such a hot idea for small roads through town. As far as pulling out into traffic, if you drive a gutless wonder, drive it accordingly and learn to merge and pull into traffic. > Almost all peoples today base their speed on the vehicle in front of > them. If the distance to the next vehicle is 100 yards... or 400... the > the goal is to close that gap to about 30 feet. You are generalising. When I am in no rush to get anywhere I drive the speed limit or below, keeping right except to pass (which never happens, there is always a steady stream of vehicles passing me). If I'm running late I'll drive normally at a reasonable and prudent speed and shave off a little time getting to my destination. I always leave very large following distances as although my car stops fairly quickly it does not stop on a dime and even if it did I still need room for the unexpected to happen and me to ahve room to eitehr stop or get out of harms way. > The problem with raising limits is the peoples driving brain dead. > That's about 75% of 'em.

You seem to be the typical liberal type who is all for bringing everything down to the dumbest common denominator instead of correcting the source of the problem. > I know you and the 75% are about to pee your pants to be first at the > next traffic control device but I fail to see what the rush is. > What is the rush? Actually I am the type that when I see a red light ahead I let go of the gas and let compression braking slow me down. Typically there will be several drivers who pass me as I coast up toa red light. Then once we get going again I will sometimes pass them as they are often the type that take their time getting up to speed. Personally I see no reason to race up to a red light. Burns more gas and puts more wear on the brakes, not to mention amkes more work for me. Cory |
