We really needed autonomous cars like yesterday. No one should be allowed to drive at all. The problems will go away.

Im gonna go with this. It differs everywhere but being from california and hearing adherence to speed limit instead of flow of traffic is madding.

people dont value their time or safety

Wonder if it is religious thing

Some Christians think going over speed limit is an actual sin

In Australia you can get fined like $300 for going as little as 1km/h over the limit (and they do pull you over and fine you for that). No you cant even go above the speed limit when passing slower traffic. The fines only go up from there the faster you go.

Its wild how in America they dont care about speed limits at all. Why even have them?

Its not that we dont care about them. We just prefer to treat them more like suggestions.

to explain further

in some places the limit is not intended to make cars drive at it
for example a limit of 60mph isn't to make sure every car is going 60mph

but rather they fully expect people to surpass it and want to LIMIT how much it is surpassed

example, if limit is 60 and people go 80 in the left lane
if limit was 70 those people would be going 90
so they set it at 60 to reduce those people from 90 to 80

I literally read an article about this last night as a place discussed raising the speed limit on lower end like to 75 mph and the argument was people would go 100 and that is dangerous so they didn't want to raise the limit to 75

basically the threat of a ticket is stronger than the actual giving of a ticket is the point

it would be much less confusing if they just made it 75 and got a lot stricter on giving tickets to people who go 80.

dont they love giving out tickets anyway?
