If you truly believe that the people who are traveling the speed limits when others around them are traveling at 110 are the ones "causing" collisions, I don't know what to say. The people traveling 80 in an 80 or even 90 in an 80 are not the ones "causing" collisions, it is the ones around them that are impatient and for some reason need to be rushing everywhere they go. Should the ones traveling "slower" than the flow move over to the right? Yes. Should that give people excuses to road rage, cut people off, etc? No.
Speeding itself may or may not be dangerous. But the results of a collision at higher speeds= more dangerous. That is fact. If the government looks at it where they rather have more collisions at lower rates of speed than a handful of fatals, at higher speeds, I am on their side.
As for our roads being safer now than it was back then, I think it is largely a result of safer vehicles, increased strictness of impaired driving and other traffic offences, to name a few. |
whats the rush? are u kidding me? i live in this city long enough to see how ridiculous our fucking traffic has become
use to take me 20-30 minutes to commute from A to B, now it takes 1hr if not more

time is money
last thing i wonna do is waste fucking 2 hrs on the road going and come back from work alright
its called a waste of time
if people actually drive faster, for example an intersection normally 10 cars can pass. Great now everyone drives like a grandma guess wat? 5 cars can pass
There is no excuse for how low our speed limit is
government tries to brain wash us by telling us OMFG speed killlssss
u doing 110-120km OMG u go to jail
i have no problem paying the fine, but taking away my vehicle because im doing 120km on the hwy? funny we all live in north america yet lets use seattle for example are they that different than our city? to me its same shit diff pile, yet driving 110-120km is perfectly normal over there. Here people starts freaking out like bunch of pussies
fucking ridiculous
PS
than we got these dumb hippies along with the tree fuckers pretending that they never speed. Absolutely sir, im sure u drive 50km bang on in the city, 30km in school zone, 80km exactly on the hwy. I hope u go fuck urself and have a nice day fucking hypocrite
I drive 7 days a day, and let me tell u not a single motherfucker follows speed limit. Not on the hwy not in the city. When was the last time u see someone driving 50km in a 2 lane open road in the city? maybe ur grandma. If you say yes than clearly u are either A blind, B do not work C ignorant as fuck
