What an incredibly deep and thoughtful statement. Thank you for blessing us with such an intuitive discovery. So a catch-all speed limit isn't appropriate. If you're caught speeding on an empty road then it shouldn't be an offense. Except wildlife exists. As does weather. As do pedestrians (yes, even in remote rural areas - I grew up in a rural area and I can't even count the number of times I was driving home and nearly hit some drunk campers out for a midnight stroll). The entire point of a speed limit is to allow you sufficient time to react and stop your vehicle if something unexpected appears on the road ahead of you and I can't think of a single road where that would not be a pertinent concern. Animals are perfectly capable of jumping out in front of your car within your braking zone regardless of what speed you're travelling at, as are people. They are responsible for their own lives when they maneuver in front of a speeding car without due care. Beyond that, you can rule out weather and any other environmental factor with the charge of reckless driving. If you go around a blind corner at speed you are being reckless, if you drive down a clear stretch at speed you are not. As long as you make sure you are in complete control with good awareness then speed isn't an issue. --- Scloud posted...
