"Ruff".."Ruff" "where my dogs at?"....:D...this article really isn\'t that important...but i mostly posted it because i can\'t believe the clarity of this picture taken by the speeding cameras,...this cat was flyin\' and the camera was able to catch his face as such high speeds with virtualy no blur....
I haven\'t been racing anybody on the road as of late,..i think my last encounter was probably sometime last year against a dodge charger or maybe an eclipse,..and both times i was doin between 115 - 120 mph,...and i see those cameras posted on top on the telephone poles on the highway, but i didn\'t think that they could catch your pic at such high speeds with such clarity...:eek:....slow down in that thunderbird titan!!...giga..ease up in that mustang!!..:D

120, eh?
Ever think about what would of happened had you lost control or some freak accident happened and you ended up killing someone over a silly race?
Hmm.
-
Thats as much as you can speed up in a bicycle racing I think.
Wait....was that MPH???
I take it back!

lol, he has a huge DMX decal on his windshield?? I guess he\'s one of the few people that can pull that off. Though I\'d prefer not to draw attention to myself if I was a celeb.

Hmm.
Yea...yea...i understand the risks,...it\'s just that kid inside of me that likes to do that once in awhile,...especially after driving that 90 hp metro back and forth to work, and with other cars zippin\' by me, and even tho i\'m not bothered by it,...*cause i\'m still savin\' money in gas by drivin\' it*...sometimes i just want to keep up with traffic....and the lex still has enough hp to keep up with the newer cars of today...
But i don\'t do that racin\' stuff all the time,....i only do it once in a blue moon and only in areas that are wide open and there are no speed traps,....and if some uppity geek in his bmw or benz, is eggin\' me on...even then i have to be in tha mood for it...but alas yea,..nobody should be drivin\' like that,.. myself included, cause even if the road is dry and clear,....all it would take is for me to either lose control to be badly hurt or killed or even if a deer just jumped out the road....so yea that s**t is dangerous,...when i do engage in it tho,..it\'s such a rush...:fro:
And i\'m sure that every guy in here has probably done that at least once...and i don\'t mean racing in general,...i just mean opened their car up on the road a few times....*i know you\'ve opened up that celica of yours right LIC?*...;)

From what I\'ve heard certain places in Arizona are the only places in the US with speed cameras on the highway.
The premise behind speed cameras make sense but they\'re complete bullshit. Hmmmm, some outside company installs them and makes most of the profit off of it. Oh, and if they\'re on a light the yellows better be kept short or the quota of tickets won\'t be met. Fucking stupid.
-
My friends in Arizona have told me all about the photo enforcement situation in the Phoenix area. It\'s getting completely out of hand. Cameras are being installed everywhere, and it seems to be simply a money making venture for the city governments involved in this.
The 101 loop is a freeway that encircles Phoenix, and everyone in the city knows exactly which section is covered by cameras. Only an idiot or someone from out of state would be caught speeding on that section. I think the system permits you to exceed the speed limit by 11 mph before it photographs you. The speed limit on the 101 is probably 65, so that means you could be ticketed for going over 76 mph. To me that is complete and utter bullshit. Thank god I live in California.

Actually, no I haven\'t. I understand it only takes a fraction of a second for something to get out of control and someone may end up dead. Doesn\'t seem worth it for me.
Sure - it may be fun, but so is doing crack. I don\'t feel the need to do that either.
-
Where da hood where da hood where da hood at.

He looks so bored. Like he\'s always driving 114 mph on his way to the grocery store or something.

Every time you eat, you might end up choking. I mean, eating is fun and all, but you may die, doesn\'t seem worth it for me.
Going 120 on the freeway is idiotic, doesn\'t mean I haven\'t tried opening up my car before. I\'m not one of those people that thinks that I can somehow better handle it than other people, but come on, its fun. Sometimes adrenaline rush > risk of death. Besides, there is about a 10,000x greater chance I\'ll die from a heart condition, I like the odds.

He looks really focused on his driving.

Every time you eat, do you put someone else\'s life in life? Is there a chance you are going to lose control of that piece of food and end up crippling or even killing someone? I have zero problem with you getting an adrenaline rush, it\'s the fact you\'re putting someone elses life in danger. I firmly believe live life to it\'s fullest, if you want to skydive - go for it. If you want to race, go for it. Just do it on the safety of a track . Don\'t race on the open roads where people drive, kids cross or many things can happen in a split second and ruin someone elses life.
Next time you want to make a point, at least make sure it\'s in the same ballpark of what is being discussed. As this isn\'t about what you think your personal odds are. This is about the people being put in risk, because you personally choose to be irresponsible and ignore all the other people that could possibly be effected by your piss poor choices.
Not to even mention that eating is a crucial part of life. It\'s not something we can avoid and survive. There is a distinct difference in the risk of something you must do and doing something that is unnessarcy and there by taking that risk, for some good sane logical reason.
Honestly, at least try the next time you want to make a point. I know you can do better than that. Your\'s simply came off as a childish, by ignoring the simple facts being discussed or mentioned in the thread.
If I am coming off as a hardass or someone who doesn\'t enjoy fun, that is not my intentions. I like Clips, he is one of the few members I have zero problem with, but he even admits he knows what he is doing wrong and it\'s the "inner child" that makes him do it. He\'s an adult, part of being an adult is controlling those urges and realizing what may happen if you make that wrong choice. I suggest you do the same Phil. Life isn\'t all about what you enjoy, you have to take in account how your choices may effect someone else. It only takes a split second to lose control, you kill someone and then you spend the rest of your life behind bars. It happens all the time. Same with drunk drivers. I\'m sure most of them think they are sober or they can make it home, next thing you know they\'ve slammed into someone, killed them and now they\'ve taken a life and ruined their own, all over one simple poor choice. That\'s exactly what it boils down to. You may think it\'s clear out there and no one is on the road. But you have to figure that something may go wrong, someone may happen to be on up in the road. You have to assume these things and control yourself.
Maybe when you have your own kids, you\'ll realize just how dangerous the roads are already and how we don\'t need people racing for the sake of racing. Maybe then you\'ll apperciate how one normal person\'s bad choice can ruin an entire family.

My "childish" remark did what it intended to do. You basically compared anyone who has gone too fast in a car to a crackhead, I simply took the other route. Look, I know you\'re not some hard ass, but you\'ve got to lighten up a bit, doing the whole cynical bit has to get a little tiring after a while.
I have two nieces, my brother used to race a lot (mostly on the track). He doesn\'t anymore, primarily due to his kids. I know exactly what the dangers are, and it would be the worst day of my life to learn that either my brother or my nieces were hurt because of unnecessary speeding; however i\'m not naive, people get want that adrenaline rush and sometimes do irrational things. The fact you\'re playing the holier than thou card makes you come off as a prick.
Moral of the story, stop being such a debbie downer, I have nothing against you, but damn man, cheer up once in a while. I haven\'t seen a post from you in a long time where you\'ve actually been happy about something.
-
I\'m suppose to cheer up because a bunch of adults are acting like children and racing? That is the most absurd and idiotic thing I have ever read, thank you for that.
I\'m not playing any "card". I\'m stating the fuckin\' obvious. How hard is that to see?
I don\'t cater my posts to you or anyone else. I post what I am thinking at the moment and that is how I\'ll continue. If that is a problem for you, oh well. Not everyone is going to agree with you in life. Just like not everyone is going to agree in this thread.

Making a decision to exceed the speed limit is something that can be done in a safe way, or in a reckless way. It\'s not a simple black / white , good / bad choice.
A person can drive 65 mph and be compliant with the law, but if that person drives 71 and is ticketed for exceeding the speed limit, can we condemn them for endangering the lives of others by "racing" on public roads? That depends on the circumstances.
Traffic volume, weather, and the condition of the road surface are all variables that should figure into the estimation of what a "safe" speed is for a particular road. The skill of the driver and the type of vehicle are also important factors. Some vehicles are simply safer at high speeds than others. I\'m reminded of this every time I drive a rental car and I cringe at the poor handling and braking capabilities of the crappy mass market vehicles that most drivers are crippled with.
I\'m not arguing that we should have variable speed limits for different drivers. Nor am I defending DMX. He was driving >114 mph in a 1960\'s chevy nova on a freeway within city limits. That was a stupid decision that I would never have made. However, I have exceeded 125 mph on an interstate highway when there was no one else around, and I didn\'t endanger anyone (including myself).

Really, I told you to cheer up because people are racing? All I said is that you\'re a stick in the mud and everything doesn\'t require you to be a negative nancy. But I guess you probably get that a lot.
Oh and you\'re more than welcome to post whatever you want, I\'m merely suggesting that the stick in your ass might want some fresh air.

I agree\'d with almost everyone you wrote until I read that you was driving 125mph on the interstate. At that point there, I say you should never be allowed to drive again. I don\'t care that you don\'t think you endangered anyone, it\'s the simple fact you were dumb enough to do it.
Also.

Big difference in going a few miles over the speed limit and going 120 or street racing. Big difference, don\'t try and paint it as anything else.
If you\'re going to drive that fast, you may as well get drunk and get behind the wheel. You\'re just as dangerous and idiotic.
There are speed limits and road rules for a reason. Obey them and quit trying weasel your way out of them. It\'s pathetic and childish.
-
You have got to be the biggest square I have ever seen. With your thought process you really shouldn\'t drive on the highway altogether. 65mph is over 95 feet a second. Oh, and do you ever drive tired? You must be like someone driving 125mph or a crackhead too.

I agree with this...and while my lex isn\'t a sports car,..it is considered to be a sports coupe...and i honestly must say that the car performs incredibly well at high speeds,...the times that i have taken it to about 115 - 120...there was virtually no body roll and it would still hug the corners tight...in other words,.. the car didn\'t feel nervous at that speed at all....compare that to my maxima gxe that i had before it and there was a bit of a difference..
I took my maixima to about 115 - 120 mark on interstate 78 late at night in the berkely heights area....and this area is cop free...because of the concrete divider and the solid sound barrier walls on both side of the highway for about a good 3 miles...anyway the gxe model is equipped with the soft suspension and has a more cushiony ride than the xe sport maxima...long story short...as i\'m crusin\' and i\'m coming up on a turn,...the car had some body roll to it,...it wasn\'t enough for me to lose control,..but it was enough for me to say "whoa"...this car can\'t handle high speeds like that...so yea..in agreeing with core, it does depend on the vehicle....
But in no-way am i endorsing this type of behavior,....it\'s just that with every car that i\'ve gotten *well at least cars with some performance potential*...i\'ve always at least opened them up on the road at least once,...and that doesn\'t mean always hittin\' the 115-120 mph mark...it may sometimes mean just hittin\' between that 85- 90 mph mark,....and again the conditions must be right for it.....one thing i\'ve never done tho,..is speeding and the weaving in and out of traffic thing,.....but ultimately i see what LIC is sayin\'....we really shouldn\'t be driving like that.....*but it is such a rush*..;)

You can try and twist this all you want, but breaking the speed limit or racing are both illegal for a reason.
Call me a "square". I don\'t care. There are speed limits for a reason. Try the recommended speed limit - and while that doesn\'t guarantee safety, that at least means you\'re doing your part to be safe, to yourself and the drivers around you.
Anything other than that is you acting like a child, being reckless and not caring about yourself or the drivers around you.
-
Never anywhere did I state how fast I go. For all you fucking know I was questioning your driving the speed limit always cause I like to occasionally go 5-10 over, that doesn\'t make me a childish. I have never driven 120 but frankly I\'ll get over the fact that they do.
This is rich, some dead end job nobody that sits in his house all day is talking down to me.
-
Cry some more and insult some more. That\'s fine, it just goes a long ways to establish how childish you are acting about this.
You want to twist this whole thing, but no one was talking about 5 or 10 mph over the limit. We are talking about street racing and extreme speeding. Honestly, if you can\'t keep up with the discussion, please don\'t join it.
I also never talked down to you. I simply said that if you were doing these things that are mentioned, then you are acting like a child. Please learn to read, as I and I quote said.

I never once said you were most certainly doing these things. I simply said that if you are, then you are acting like a child, by giving into this "childish" impulse and by doing so, you\'re being reckless and endangering your own life and others.
Please, learn to read and keep up with the discussion.
The sad part is, the only one with a clue on this subject is Clips, who admits he shouldn\'t do it and it\'s a childish impulse.
Also, the best part of this is I was originally talking to Clips about his opening post and then everyone else got their little panties in a bunch.
QQ some more, please.
One more thing.
I have never driven 120 but frankly I\'ll get over the fact that they do.
Are you going to feel the same way if one of them hit you at the extreme speed? Or hits someone you loves? Are you just going to "get over it"? I truly doubt it. Quit being so close minded and realize that the way people drive around you, does directly effect you. You should care that people are doing these childish and stupid things. They are putting yours and my life in danger just so they can get a rush.
-

This is me, cept without the job.
-
You said "try the recommended speed limit." Anything after that comes with the assumption that I speed. So how about you "learn to read" or just go back to your dead end job.

What\'s with the anger? Got a complex? I never once insulted you, in fact, you started off with the insults right out of the gate . Way to go there on discussing your point.
You have no clue what I do. How much I make . The list goes on and on, but you want to attack me personally - why? I don\'t recall you and I having words before, in fact, I\'ve never had a problem with until this thread, so what exactly is your problem all of a sudden? Because someone doesn\'t want people speeding on the roads and putting my or my kids life in danger? Gee, so sorry.
"assumption".
You shouldn\'t assume things, buddy. If you want to clarify something, please ask. Don\'t assume anything tho\', because that is where this needless confusion begins.
I simply stated that try driving the recommended speeding limit. It\'s sound advice. We have speed limits for a reason.
-
I didn\'t assume anything. Your exact words were "try the recommended speed limit". The assumption that I spoke of was you assuming that I speed from that comment. With that said every comment after would be directed at me. If you didn\'t intend on it coming out like that then word it better.
The insults are coming from having to read your post on here. It\'s been painful lately.

Use the ignore button.
That\'s my only advice to you. Don\'t like my posts, just put me on ignore.
-
I commend you on avoiding anything that I said.
-
I didn\'t avoid.
I\'m simply tired of discussing the same point over and over. You want to twist and wiggle out of something as very basic as a simple speed limit - so what\'s the point? It\'s like debating with a five year old on something so basic.
ME: There is a speed limit - avoid it.
You: Dead end job. Blah. Blah. What about goin five miles over it,etc?
I mean, honestly, you and others are making this into a very big deal for no reason. It\'s the most basic thing you learn as a driver. Obey the fuckin\' speed limit. How hard is that? You want to complain about camera\'s. Why? Obey the speed limit. You want to sit here and go you\'ll "get over it" when talking about others racing on the streets. Why? What happens when they hit you? Be concerned that people are being childish and risking their life and others.
I can state this stuff over and over, but if you want to close your eyes, act like you have the answer to everything - then fine. That\'s your choice. It doesn\'t change my stance on the subject and it isn\'t going to keep me from speaking my mind on the subject. All it is goin\' to do is, as of this post, I\'m done discussing it with you.
-
I\'ll try to keep this point as simple as possible.
Just because you exceed the speed limit and break the law, does not necessarily mean that you are endangering yourself or others. Once you acknowledge that, the next question is: What speed or driving behavior DOES constitute endangering yourself or others?
I think that\'s the question where you\'re coming up short in your replies, LIC. By dogmatically repeating the idea that any violation of the speed limit is "childish," you\'re avoiding the more important issue of what defines safe driving.
There are many situations where driving the speed limit is very unsafe for the driving conditions. For example, during fog or icy conditions, I\'ve often seen people maintaining the speed limit, when the safe speed is obviously 10-15 mph slower. This is the kind of behavior that leads to multicar collisions.
The speed limit is not the gospel of safety. We are all intelligent beings and we need to learn what speed and driving behavior is necessary to operate a vehicle safely. I honestly wish more american drivers would be required to study advanced driving techniques. It\'s not enough to simply believe that you "push your foot down to go forward, turn steering wheel to change direction, and keep the speed under the posted limit to drive safely."

No shit, Captain Obvious.
Obviously if road conditions are bad, you need to slow your speed down. That is not the issue here at all.
Racing on the streets and driving at 120mph is not safe , it\'s not meant to be safe and it\'s idiotic to try and excuse it as safe. And if you must do it, do it on a close track.
I don\'t see how or why you and other try to find reasons or excuses for such behavior. Obey the recommended speed limit, slow down when needed and you\'re doing at least part of what you need to be doing. On the other hand, if you are speeding and breaking the law , you\'re not doing your part.
It\'s really quite basic. Once you stop trying to find excuses for acting out, then you\'ll be A-OK.
-
Autobahn worthy !
... heheh, but srly, 120 is going a bit too far. ( but if you know the German Autobahn * the German freeways are notorious for relatively high speeds ), i\'ve seen some go +200km p/hour there....and some of them ending up as 50 square centimeters of scrap metal with bloody bits of human squeezed in it )

He looks like any average black guy. Black people need their names attached to the shirts to tell them apart. Just like every Asian I see at work, I secretly mark their arms with a number.
And I\'m Asian. #1, if you wanted to know.

And I\'m Asian. #1, if you wanted to know.
So you saying you can\'t drive?

So you saying you can\'t drive?
Oh I can drive. Ya see, when it comes down to driving, the Asians start to hate the Chinese and Vietnamese drivers coz they give the rest of us a bad name.
They make great noodle soups, but when it comes to driving - they are the worst.

I\'m half crazian with a perfect driving wreckord. Better than most of you haoles!!!

why don\'t you then?

At least spice up your idiocy. Instead of "I know you are but what am I". Omg you really said it too. :( I\'m so sorry for you.

I don\'t get what you are saying here? what are you mumbling about?
-
No I will not explain myself to you or use any part of my brain to interact with you.
Stay away. Just stay far away.
-
Is it any wonder that those who complain the most about speeding tickets, red light cameras, and other heavy driving fines are the ones who constantly break these laws?
How hard is it to NOT break these laws?
Cry a river, bitch, and pay the fucking price when you get caught or worse...
-
^^^That\'s true, but some states purposely set the speeds at an incredibly low speed limit just to create revenue,....i remember some years ago in jersey the top speed that you would find on their interstates was no faster than 55 mph...now that is just crazy,...and for those that have driven on the nj turnpike...from exit 6 all the way down to exit 1...that road is nothing but open straight highway with hardly any turns..i mean you can go straight for about a good ten miles of open highway.
Of course they generated alot of fines for folks goin\' over 55, but i\'m sure the folks that wrote that law knew people were not going to obey that speed limit...i\'ve tried going 55 a few times just to see how fast it actually was,..and on the interstate it actually feels like you\'re doin\' 35 mph...:p...most speed limits on major highways are about 65 mph now,....but that 55 mph speed limit was just ridiculously slow....
I remember my mom\'s 85 ford topaz actually had 55 circled on the speedometer,...just to remind you that if you go past 55, you\'re breaking the speed limit...:p
-
speed limits are a fucking joke. The main purpose is for the state and city to get extra revenue. Cars don\'t kill people. People kill people and no speed limit has done anything thus far to stop carzy people from doing their 120. If they really wanted to save lives. Then go after the car companies for making cars that go over 55mph. Shit is all a joke. I do the speed limit only when I see cops.
-

Wimps.
I go into light speed and so they can\'t see me.

That is such a stupid statement...
First, you say cars don\'t kill, then you say its the car\'s fault for being able to go over 55mph...
You\'re right that people kill people cause those people are morons. You purposely break the speed limit so don\'t cry how unfair it is when you get caught. What is a fucking joke is when assholes give the police a reason to pull them over on a busy road and it creates a traffic jam for the rest of us...
It doesn\'t matter how unfair or ridiculous a law is; its there, deal with it or get your state to change it.
Whats next? Going after gun companies for making bullets deadly or alcohol for getting you drunk or McDonalds for making you fat?
...oh wait, that happened and is it any wonder it was dismissed?

One can only hope you keep breaking the speed limit and kill yourself.

I can complain all I want. Stupid is fucking stupid. 55mph is bullshit on the highway. The state and the city no this. But they are all out to make money. That is nothing more than a money making scheme for the court houses. Just because something is a law does not make it fucking right.
You are so fucking stupid.
One can only hope you keep breaking the speed limit and kill yourself
Learn how to drive or don\'t get behind the wheel of a car you know you can\'t control. How fucking nieve of you to think that if someone is doing over the listed mph that means they can\'t drive. Your lying through your ass if you going to sit here and act like you never went 5 over the speed limit. GTFOH
Going 55 on a highway that should clearly be 70 is just bullshit. Those people who are doing 90 -100 on the freeway clearly don\'t give a fuck about the posted speed limit anyways. I don\'t do 120 on a freeway because I got sense enough to no thats stupid.
How many fucking accidents and deaths has the speed limit stopped so far? It\'s has made a lot of money for the city and state but it has not stopped people from going over the listed mph. People only slow the fuck down when they see cops. The people who are doing excessive speeds are going to do them no matter what.
I have only got two speeding tickets in mylife. Both times it was all about money. They lowered the ticket to a none point ticket and I payed the fine. All the court cared about was getting the money.

There\'s a speed camera on a 4 lane road with a speed limit of 30mph.
30 mph.
A dog runs faster than that.
Okay, it\'s in the city....but 4 lanes going 30mph is like forcing drivers to fall asleep at the wheel. ;)
-
I can complain all I want. Stupid is fucking stupid. 55mph is bullshit on the highway. The state and the city no this. But they are all out to make money. That is nothing more than a money making scheme for the court houses. Just because something is a law does not make it fucking right.
...
I didn\'t say current speed limits are right. I said deal with it or get your state to change it. Don\'t whine and bitch on a message board...
And you can continue to break the limit and keep giving them money while the rest of us sensible drivers know that nobody ever got into an accident or a ticket solely for obeying the speed limit...

Quit speeding and you won\'t get that ticket, you dumbass.
And what the hell is, "GTFOH"?. If you can\'t write it out, please don\'t bother.. I don\'t want to waste my time trying to figure out this stupid \'net lingo.

True. So put cameras up in more spots where the police aren\'t, let people start getting tickets for that. Then you\'ll notice even more people slowing down in general. I support the idea. More cameras. More cops on the road. More tickets for idiots.
-
They\'ll never put up cameras because they\'ll lose revenue.
I\'m not backing quddus, I find the current speed laws to be fine in almost every case. I just prefer cops because they at least have the discretion to know when people are being idiots and speeding, and those that are going 5-10 over and being as safe as those going the speed limit. I speed on occasion, but I at least have the common sense to know if I get pulled over, its my own damn fault, not the fault of the city. On a side note, if you are nice to the cop, do what he asks, and be honest and frank, they\'re usually nice back. Been pulled over twice (once for speeding, other for expired tags) and both times just received a warning.
-
For the most part , yeah. Every once in awhile you\'ll get an asshole cop, but that is just gonna happen.
-shrugs-
Unless you\'re speeding hardcore, most cops are pretty cool about it.

Your such a hypocritical asshole. I no you really are not living life with all the bullshit you spit on this message board. "Get the fuck out of here" putting cameras up everywhere will only benefit the city and state. Just because a person is going over the listed mph does not mean they aren\'t driving safe.
And you can continue to break the limit and keep giving them money while the rest of us sensible drivers know that nobody ever got into an accident or a ticket solely for obeying the speed limit...
Many people have died doing the speed limit so save it. You act as if the speed limit is going to save your life. The only thing that slows people down is cops. You can pOST the speed limit on every fucking corner. People are going to break it unless they see the cops. In many area\'s the speed limit is nothing more than a fucking speed trap.
This is the kind of shit that pisses me off. It\'s not going to change but to sit up here and play "high and mighty" is asinine. Every fucking body has gone at least 5-10 over the speed limit. In most area\'s the speed limit is just a speed trap.

How are you so stupid? The speed limit, while does not gurantee ones\' safety, it does go a long way towards helping reduce your chances of death. It\'s same physics. A car traveling a 100mph has more force when it crashes, as oppose to the car that is traveling 55mph. I mean, damn, I know you\'re dumb, but you can\'t be that dumb. Just like a car traveling the speed limit is less likely to kill the bystander it hits, as opposed to the car that is going a 100 mph.
And let\'s not even get into the whole flow of traffic. Let\'s say we have X amount of cars going 35 mph, X amount going 55 , X amount going 75 and then so on and so on. Do you see a problem? Well, I understand you\'re an idiot, so I\'ll even quote off a site that breaks it down for you.
WHY DO WE EVEN HAVE SPEED LIMITS?
A uniform speed of vehicles in a traffic flow results in the safest operation. The posted speed limits can keep the traffic flowing smoothly provided the majority of drivers find the speed limits reasonable. To best do this, the limits must be consistent throughout the state.
The speed limits also give the motorist an idea of a reasonable speed to drive in an unfamiliar location.
The speed limits are used by police officials to identify excessive speeds and curb unreasonable behavior.

You can pOST the speed limit on every fucking corner. People are going to break it unless they see the cops. In many area\'s the speed limit is nothing more than a fucking speed trap.
Which means, put more cameras in, where the cops aren\'t. Then people will slow down just in fear that they may end up passing a camera or a cop.
If you\'re going to post, I ask that you not be such a dumb ass douche bag.

I didn\'t know people put this much and thought and passion into speed limits.
Honestly... Speed limits are probably one of the few things in my life I\'ve never bothered to even think about.
I look at the sign, I go 5 over whatever it says, I reach my destination.
The End?

Way to avoid the topic, become the asshole and add nothing the to subject:thumb:
You can\'t be such a dick at home.

It\'s OK. Don\'t be so upset that I just killed your theory that we don\'t even need speed limits and that they are just "traps".
In fact, all I done was shoot holes in your post, which wasn\'t exactly hard. I mean, I\'ve seen five year olds put together better logic then what you\'ve offered up.
-
You\'re right. And thank God for your maturity and logic helping move your point of view along.
You are so fucking stupid.

Thanks for noticing.

LOL come on LIC do you really think your opinion is much more valuable than anyone elses?
I said in many area\'s the posted speed limit is just a speed trap and it usually is. Thanks for being captain obvious because we all know that there are times when the speed limit should be a factor. You wouldn\'t want somone doing 50 mph down a residential street or plowing through a school zone. But if someone is dumb enough to do that the speed limit sure is hell isn\'t going to stop them.
Nice try jerk off

Bullshit!
I said nobody died SOLELY for obeying the speed limit, which includes slowing down when conditions are bad...
There had to be another contributing factor for that...
DUI?
Bad weather?
Bad driver(s)?
Cry some more while I review my clean driving record and low insurance just because I can...
GEICO
A 15 minute phone call can save you 15% or more on car insurance...

Come on ash lets be serious. I am not talking about driving safe when conditions are bad. Everyone should no and do this. We are simply talking about general posted speed limits on highways were everyone should clearly be doing 70 mph but for obvious reason the posted limit is 55.
This use to be the case on the e-way in my area. I think last year they finally change the posted limit from 55 to 70mph
