<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 |
