Speed Limits are just taxes in sheeps clothing.
>oh wait but everyone would go 100mph if there was no speed limit, duh dood.
no people wouldn't. Speed Limits are created at 10mph less than the actual speed that makes sense to drive at so that everyone speeds and they can tax us at a steady rate. So people would go 10mph faster they wouldn't drive 100mph.
do u still believe the speed limit meam?
>>69424423

It's to keep the semi rebellious cucks in line by giving them a little slap every time they try to step out of the little frame that the government imposes on them. This conditions them into believing that the state is an almighty god that they stand no chance against.
>>69424725
All of your cousins and uncles driving primered vans and box trucks drive 10 below the speed limit in the fast lane in America. Unsecured ladders and racks of plywood coming off of commercial vehicles cause more accidents than speeding. They're the number one cause of road rage and unsafe driving.

speed limits kind of make sense in urban areas given the high risk of injuring pedestrians
I am against speed limits on highways though
that being said, speed limits actually are one of the many ways that the government extorts money from citizens, in places like Mexico government lackeys use speed limits to extort money for personal gain though they still have to report an undetermined number of actual traffic violations
that's just how pigs and the government work
Here's a 30 mile long highway I have to take into work every single day and the speed limit is 55. It's bullshit. Most go about 70 but my car stands out so I I'm forced to go 60 at most.

Highway engineer here,
Just want to remind you that speed limits are set after carefully measuring, calculating, and analyzing sections of roadway.
This limits are set at the safest level for optimal conditions on a stretch of roadway.

>>69425669
In some cases, the speed limit is set arbitrarily low for a given stretch of road. This creates worse conditions than uncontrolled speed would, since some drivers travel at the posted speed limit and some travel at the road's optimal speed. This difference in speed is the real danger.

speed limits are general guidelines on the safe "Average" speed that it is deemed "safe" to drive at.
It is for safety sake in different zones for instance in a residential, area the speed limit might be 35, as opposed to 55mph in a commercial area. any road can be driven on, safely at any speed, granted the driver is smart enough to survey oncoming obstacles from afar.

It's simple:
Going with the flow of traffic, leaving ample space between each car = good
Driving 30 miles over speed limit, below speed limit, or at speed limit on freeway = bad.
im not going to lie, bumps feel good man
The energy needed to slow a vehicle rises faster than the speed. Also so does the energy when something crashes.
Their is little reason to drive faster than the posted limit for short trips due to the limited time gained. Their is little reason to drive faster on long trips due to the already large investment of time to travel.

Speed limits are largely the traffic jew. When speed limits are imposed, there is shaky data on its effect on fatalities. Remember, when people drive faster they are on the road for less time.

Explain that to the cops when you get pulled over that you were just following the flow of traffic.

You are either a bad driver or live in a place devoid of bad drivers because if it wasn't for speed limits people would give even less of a shit about driving safely most people are fucking madmen on the road you really want to give them free reign
>>69427526
>So? You're trading energy for time which could be economical.
It takes 4 times the time to stop given an identical breaking force or to think of it another way it has 4 times the energy to dissipate before a vehicle stops.
That radically raises the potential damage to people, greatly raises the space needed to safely stop, and due to higher speeds lowers the amount of time you have to react.
The time savings you make are not justified.
>>69427526
>people don't naturally adjust to the traffic flow
No they don't. Some people go exactly the speed limit or up to 5 over - this is an acceptable range
But there are always self important assholes that go 5+ over or under that fuck up the traffic flow

If you exceed the speed limit then you're just criminal scum.
I don't have to tell you the speed limit. Engineers do.
Now in the case that a road IS rated below a safe and efficient driving speed, that's almost always an issue with local government.

If it is unsafe to speed, then why the fuck are cops allowed to go from 0mph on LEFT SHOULDER of road up to +100mph to catch up to someone merely going 80-85mph?

NC here
They recently came out with a new campaign "Obey the Sign" in which police are instructed to ticket people going any speed above the listed limit even 1 mph over
Apparently the old rule of thumb amongst cops was "9 you're fine, 10 you're mine" (don't speed 10 mph over the limit)
>>69431407
stop, no, the feels
>>69431711
You should vote your worthless politicians out, starting with your sheriffs.
All speed limits should be posted on electronic signs and should change accordingly (via traffic, weather, season, time etc)
When its a time of no traffic you up the fucking limit from 40 to 50 and vice versa..
This can also apply to seasons. There is litterally no reason for a highway to be 65 in the summer just because that limit is safe for the winter.
With the age of all the sensors and gps and all that shit in new cars you can just have the car display the limit for you and notify you if there was a change so even a retard can use this system.
Personally I go 10 MPH over the limit on the highway and never have any trouble with the police.
One time I was in the left lane going 10 over and a cop car got behind me. He was following me closely. I switched to the right lane and he blew by me going 15-20 MPH over the limit. I chuckled about it, here I was speeding but it wasn't fast ENOUGH for the officer behind me. He didn't have his lights on either.
If I got pulled over for going 10 MPH over the limit on the highway I would be such a condescending, rude jerk to the cop. I would tell him that the conditions are good, there is high visibility, and that my speed was safe. I'd probably say some personal insults to him as well lol.
I only go 5 over the limit around town, because it's annoying when people speed in town. I hate when I am pulling out of a parking lot and need to make a right turn, it looks open, but then some jackoff comes flying out of nowhere way higher than the speed limit. I fucking hate that shit.

Yeah, sure. Have you pay attention at how people drive outside? I've seen getting between a car and a bus (the bus going in the opposite hand), people tailgatting the crap out of other cars even when they were about to turn, people trying to pass a fucking truck that was about to turn in a fucking one hand road, people ignoring red lights even when people was crossing their side. And I don't even want to continue because if you pay attention to how people drive, you have seen this (and probably more) already.
>the actual speed that makes sense to drive at
That is subjetive, it dependen on how you drive, the conditions of the road (rainy, filled with holes, etc), the reactions and habilities of the drives (fucking almost-blind should take the fucking bus instead of trying to drive), how much you know the road (somethimes there are roads behind trees where people appear out of nowhere and get in front of you) and the conditions of the car, and with this last one, most people don't know about their fucking car: they don't keep their car in check, they turn like shit, they ignore their old-as-ashit brake oil because the (!) signal is just the handbrake signal for some people, they "save fuel" going in neutral, tailgatting, etc.
Yeah, nah. The problem is how so many retards get acces to a fucking car in the first place, not how can we make it even easier for those fucks to cause more accidents in the fucking street.
OP it's nice to see someone else who doesn't like speed limits and believes they're just there to earn money.
Ideally, there would be no speed limits. This will never happen because people crave the safety of government too much.
Realistically, we should at least get rid of speed limits on highways.

You're not figuring in wear and tear on the vehicle by driving that fast or possibility of being charged with careless and reckless driving which would instantly erase any financial gain by driving faster due to lawyer fees and increased cost of insurance
>>69433859
not him, but if the car had a decent engine and geared for that speed, there is actually less wear on the tires and shit. the bearings in vehicles will not fail prematurely simply due to speed, premature failure is always due to foreign contaminants or poor machining tolerances.
