Radar Detector Recomendation

I took it as being suggested. Sorry.

It's freshly cleaned .

I have no complaints about the speed limits. I operate my vehicles within the limitations happily watching the morons flying by, and down the road ending up beside them at the next red light.

When you're injured or worse, who care's who is responsible? Hurt is hurt. I'd rather not be hurt. If the prevailing speed is 7 over on a particular highway, I'll do 7 over. Righteous indignation won't cover my ass.

"speeding" is usually just ignoring an arbitrary number painted on a road sign. No actual relation to road safety.In many urban areas,sticking to the speed limit actually makes things MORE unsafe.It causes traffic to bunch up.That's more unsafe than the "speeding".

I suspect "Dan C." speeds too. ONE mph over the SL -IS- "speeding".

Even police speed,both on-duty and off-duty,even when not needed for work purposes.

Hairballs in the throat of traffic.

that's NAIVE at best.

55mph -used- to be the National Motor Speed Limit(NMSL);before that many highways were posted 70-75 mph. Were they "unsafe" before the 55 NMSL? No. And much later,speed limits got changed back to 65-70 mph in most non- Socialist states. Traffic deaths continued to decrease.

BUT,the Unintended Consequence of the 55 NMSL was that LANE DISCIPLINE was lost forever. 55 NMSL brought about the self-rightous LLB,Left Lane Blocker,and passing on the right,necessary to get around LLBs.

Look at Germany's Autobahn;they have lane discipline,and higher traffic speeds.

Who still doesn't have the authority to alter posted speed limits. Most SLs come from traffic "engineering" manuals. To deviate from them usually requires a legislative majority to vote to change them.

there's a website just for people like you brian: sanctimoniousclaptrap.com

see previous post. oh, and my grandmother has gotten multiple tickets for "not keeping up with prevailing traffic". guess what speed she drives...

how about the law that states you need to keep up with the prevailing speed of traffic?

as i understand it, you can post lower limits, not higher.

I looked for the site. It doesn't exist. However, you're able to make it your own site, if you want.

Jeff

Let's see the tickets where it says that.

What are the Socialist states?

Traffic deaths decreased in large part because of cars that were able to protect their occupants better, as well as using safety equipment and decreasing drunk driving.

ROTFL. You should write to Dave Letterman. He can use it for his show.

That's because of laws, which are made legislators, who are elected officials.

And who votes for the legislature?

Reworded: Driving at the prevailing speed of traffic is safe.

This premise is abundantly supported by readily available evidence.

Do you know Latin?

Lex mala, lex nulla.

Just because a bunch of guys got together and wrote some stuff down on a piece of paper does not mean they knew what they were doing.

Are you a Weberian? Or a Prussian? You must be either, or both.

You are aware that exessively low speed limits are associated with increased collisions due to inattention?

she's 600 miles away and i don't get tickets like that, so forgive my laziness if i don't head on down there just because you can't be bothered to look up something simple like ca vehicle code 21654(a).

now, you go ahead and tell me your state doesn't have an equivalent.

are you serious??? did you really do that???

jeff, you need help.

Or none at all. Remember those "RESUME SPEED" signs?

Originally, nobody said they were.

The primary impetus for the double-nickel was emissions, not "safety". "Safety" came later.

Higher engine speeds tended to wreck early pelletized catalytic converters. Lower road speeds meant lower engine speeds, which also meant gentler exhaust pulses, leading to better cat life. Hence the national 55.

It just so happened the cops discovered the new lower speed limits (which had largely been reduced from those that a given road had originally been designed for) meant an embarrassment of riches in "speeding" fines, since people tended to drive at speeds they felt safe at, which usually coincided with the speed the road was designed for. The police to this very day are the very biggest boosters of speed limits and enforcement.

What was it Ross Perot used to say? "Follow the money!"

far more dangerous is speed DIFFERENTIAL;those travelling significantly slower or faster than the majority of traffic.

So,Mr.Brian Smith is likely creating a greater hazard than the "speeders".
