Topic	Goddamn the cost for traffic violations has gotten completely out of control

PuddingBoy posted... lmao besides the fact that we have someone advocating for drunk driving in here, now we have someone who literally tries to not drive and has minimal experience on the road saying you should be able to drive as fast as you want because the law is wrong. He then goes on to say that the idea of a speeding ticket isn't' enough to cause change in their driving habits but then cites that looking out for cops while speeding is stressful. Yeah, no shit? You're literally changing your habits right there because you're afraid of getting caught. Imagine what it must be like to drive reasonable speeds and not be afraid of getting pulled over lol. Don't drive like a dipshit and you'll fare a lot better with that, yeah? I can make arguments without ad hominem attacks. It's really easy when I have valid arguments to make. Don't post like that and you'll fare a lot better with that, yeah? I drive the same speed the vast majority of drivers do. And I said I try to drive as little as possible. I still have to drive for work, travel, etc... and have driven over 100,000 miles at least. But you're just going to make assumptions, misread anything I post, and slander me every chance you can anyway. I mean, i don't really give a shit about you so I'm not "slandering you every chance I get" but posts like this make me think you have a very limited worldview and that I shouldn't take what you say seriously. You literally say you live in fear of getting pulled over by the police. Normal people who don't commit traffic violations don't live like that and that's just the truth. Golden Road posted...

If you care more about the law than safety, then drive the speed limit. If you care more about driving safely, you drive the speed everyone else is driving, whether that's above or below the speed limit. Near me are two similar highways that intersect. One has a speed limit of 45, the other 30. I have no idea why the speed limits are so drastically different for similar roads, but most people drive around 40 on both of them (most similar streets here are 35). Speed limits are often kinda' arbitrary, which is really obvious when you find those rare streets where almost everyone drives below the limit. A lot of traffic laws are about safety, like driving drunk, and traffic lights, and do a genuine service in keeping people safe. Speed limits often aren't about safety, though. When I'm speaking about this, I assume the majority of the people around you are all being safe drivers by following the speed limit or not disrupting the flow of traffic. I've never seen a single car in a pack of vehicles going 80 in a 65 zone get pulled over for speeding since that speed is what those in traffic have dictated to be okay. But if you're the one person blowing past everyone when they're all doing close to the normal limit, then you can get fucked for being a poor driver. --- 3DS Friend Code: 3308-5843-0863 Town: Virginia <cite>PuddingBoy posted [p:904927213] in Goddamn th...
