    Thank you! REPS, I do not understand why anyone would not make signaling a habbit.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    I'm fine with law as long as they change the speed limit on 285 to 65mph. 55 on 285 is ridiculous.

    you do know if you have a class 3 firearm permit for say a automatic MP5 or a silencer. they are allowed to come and ask to see it at any time. not saying they can come search for it. but you would have to produce it if they asked for it.

They are 20 or 30, so stop acting like ANY and every speeder will get effected, only the SUPER speeders. So even for those of you who have gotten the occasional 10 or 15mph speeding ticket, NOTHNIG has changed for you.
    thank you someone else that can read what the law actually is.

But i want you all to sit down and think about this.. We are on a car forum. most of us drive cars or trucks or bikes that are built, made, designed the way we want them which stand out. now i want you to take into consideration how many people that have been pulled over for bullshit things, how many of us have been fined for some serious bullshit. (and before anyone blows there wod about "oh well you were in the wrong blah blah blah") this isnt what im saying. But We all know that there are ass hole currupt cops out there that hate our lifestyle. hate us being different because we enjoy our cars. Now with this new law in. Wouldnt that just give them more or a reason to target us? i mean there willing to pull us over for going 4 or 5 miles over and saying we were speeding. whats for them to say "oh hey he was doing 15 or 20 mph over so they can really rack up there quota? i mean we all know that the states are hurting for money since the economy went to hell in a hand basket. now that they are "legally able" to suck more money outa people that are hardly makeing it as it is. whos to stop them? when it is time to stand up and say enough is enough? just my opinion.
    why dont you read the speeds and areas this extra fine is going to cover. not everyone that speeds is going to get the extra $200 fine. only people that have a high speed.

    lol it feels weird making a turn without a turn signal. the ever so rarely that i do. if even catch myself turning my signal on to turn into my driveway... AT 4-6 IN THE MORNING. im like wtf i havent seen a car on the road in 10 mins, let alone in the neighborhood. lol

    Both of you fail, there are plenty of two lane roads with 65mph speed limits.

    I'm not saying you're wrong (although I think you are), but you'll need to provide proof of that. I drive 2-lane roads all the time and I know for a fact that there aren't any of those anywhere near the Atlanta metro area. Or even outside areas.

    I drive 4-lane highways (65mph speed limit) all the time and every single time they dip into a 2-lane stretch, the speed limit dips down to 55mph. And this is in Anytown, GA.

    So I'd like to see some proof of your statement. Later, QD.

    I will say that the 2 lane part of 85 above Suwanee is like a 70mph road, but since the speed limit IS so high, there is less of a need to speed above that.

    yeah, when I first heard about the law, it didn't bother me at all, and it still doesn't. If anything I say it's good, let's get those 90 mph traffic weaving bumper riders off of the highways.

    also I am the same, I am programmed to use my signal for every turn or lane change even in a left turn only lane or something I signal for left. Furthermore, if for any reason I don't use it, I find myself feeling disappointed and like a hypocrite, like you said, even if it's pulling into a parking space at 3a.m.

    lol

    edit: and like the one guy said, we are fucking car guys. Why do we spend money on our cars to make them faster, handle better, ect.? Every now and then you know you just randomly put your foot to the floor just to see if you car still has it. Why should we(as I say we as in the car scene from classics to imports) be targeted and penalized harsher for doing the same thing everyone else does randomly? Also I feel its dumber for people to get ridiculous speeding tickets when they are out somewhere racing on a empty road late at night/early in the morning where you can tell that no one eles is around besides the ones racing.
    but thats just my 2cents.

    lol this law is bullshit. even though i don't usually go over 10mph the speed limit, it still is bullshit. it wont even affect us that much as it will the truckers lol. there are countless times when i'm going 75mph and a 18 wheeler flies by me. i don't get how advance america is and all that shit that they can't have a autobahn or something similar to it. the way i see it is on most highways you have what 5 lanes here? why not make the lane(s) different speed limits. the far left lane 85mph and keep dropping it down 5mphh each lane over. will there be people still speeding yes but i think there will be less of them speeding.

    I fully agree. And if the properly enforced the laws like the autoban is enforced then there would be no real problems. Is pass on the left lane, and get out of the way of faster cars. Simple right?

    Ehhhh. The law isn't BS at all. Why not up the ante for the idiots that take chances with other people's lives? And it won't really affect truckers any more than it does now. We already are held to different fines and punishments. Later, QD.

    why not raise the age of when you're able to get your license and make it more difficult to get. in europe you have day driving, night driving, rain driving, etc. here you take a dumb test that shows signs and you can still miss 5! and then you go on parallel park, blah blah, take a 1/4 mile ride and boom, you have your license. that is why there are so many deaths/accidents here. people can't drive worth shit. it still doesn't make it right for those fuck faces that like to drive 10-20 mph below the speed limit, they should be fined with the super slow speeders law. because of them there are sometimes accidents. everything has two ways you can look at it.

    the more I read this the more im beginning to think its bullshit as well, I already paid my fines, so its not that my opinion is skewed

    "Driving over 85 mph or more anywhere in Georgia" being super speeding is bullshit. Anyone that has been on I-85 knows you go this fast just to keep up with traffic, Or on GA-400.

    I thought the way the law was stated before when I was researching my own fines and charges a couple of months ago, "superspeeding" was going 30mph over any posted speed limit.

    SO say your on I-85 and the speed limit is 70mph...you would have to be clocked at 100 mph to fall into super speeding. A law like that makes more sense. Or if your a jackoff like me and get lasered at ALMOST three times the posted limit! 90mph in a 35 mph residential. logically and reasonably no one needs to be driving that fast on state roads unless you have a bleeding person in your back seat and your on the way to a hospital. that should certainly fall into super speeding. and a those speeds you do get "tunnel vision" so the risk just multiplies the faster you go, and the trauma as well if you get into a crash.

    Because it isn't just younger drivers doing the speeding. Everyone of all age brackets falls into the "super speeder" category.

    Is it only BS to you because you'll fall into this law? Seems the only way you'd call foul on this law is if it would affect you. I don't drive that fast so I don't care. I think it's great if some dummy pays out the ass for endangering others. Later, QD.

    I thought the way the law was stated before when I was researching my own fines and charges a couple of months ago, "superspeeding" was going 30mph over any posted speed limit.

    SO say your on I-85 and the speed limit is 70mph...you would have to be clocked at 100 mph to fall into super speeding. A law like that makes more sense. Or if your a jackoff like me and get lasered at ALMOST three times the posted limit! 90mph in a 35 mph residential. logically and reasonably no one needs to be driving that fast on state roads unless you have a bleeding person in your back seat and your on the way to a hospital. that should certainly fall into super speeding. and a those speeds you do get "tunnel vision" so the risk just multiplies the faster you go, and the trauma as well if you get into a crash.
    bullshit. I've never had tunnel vision. that being said, your whole post is void.

    yes i do realize this. But im saying we are more likely as people who's cars stick out to be spotted first for traffic violations. and like I said, who mods a car/buys a fast car if they arnt gonna put the power to use every now and then?

    I drive 4-lane highways (65mph speed limit) all the time and every single time they dip into a 2-lane stretch, the speed limit dips down to 55mph. And this is in Anytown, GA.

    So I'd like to see some proof of your statement. Later, QD.
    What about GA400? I thought it was 65mph and only two lanes past exit 12 or so...haven't been up that way in a while

    This law effects people all over Georgia, what does it matter if most of those roads aren't in the metro area?

    I think the law should be about speed vs speed limit, the number of lanes and speed alone don't seem all that relevant to me. It seems more sensible to just raise the fines based on the current system than enact a new law which creates a seperate criteria.

    Who is the superspeeder?
    A. Amanda who is going 85 in a 65, four lane road
    B. Charlie who is going 73 in a 35, two lane road

    Tell me how that makes sense..

Why should we(as I say we as in the car scene from classics to imports) be targeted and penalized harsher for doing the same thing everyone else does randomly? Also I feel its dumber for people to get ridiculous speeding tickets when they are out somewhere racing on a empty road late at night/early in the morning where you can tell that no one eles is around besides the ones racing.
    but thats just my 2cents.
    Nobody around here seems to actually be modifying their cars to actually make them more fun or perform better since all everyone is worried about is looks, fads, and other nonsense that doesn't do anything worthwhile.

    Is it only BS to you because you'll fall into this law? Seems the only way you'd call foul on this law is if it would affect you. I don't drive that fast so I don't care. I think it's great if some dummy pays out the ass for endangering others. Later, QD.
    if going 5-10mph over the posted speed limit will get me that $200 fine then they can suck one. i don't get the point of all these cars being made v8 400hp and what not but yet you can't drive it like that anywhere but the so called track. they should start making cars with that can't go over 75mph and 40hp. it seems that every other car commercial boasts about how much hp/tq the car has, but what's really the point of having it. you wont take a truck to a track.

    Four lanes all the way up to just outside Dahlonega. There it turns into a 2-lane road and the speed limit dips to 55.

    You're not reading this right. I was referring to your claim that there are 2-lane, 65mph roads roads around metro Atlanta. Then I expanded my answer to include all of Georgia. Later, QD.

    I've never heard of a "so called track." What is that?

    It doesn't matter what the horsepower of a car is. That has no bearing on the speed limit. Also, I don't work with the top brass at the automobile manufacturers so I'm not the one you need to be asking about why they make high horsepower cars. Ask them. And lastly, it's long been known that it's an unwritten "rule" that you won't get pulled over 5-8 mph over the speed limit.

    I'm not clowning on anyone, but I don't understand why there is an argument. If you don't speed, why worry about it? It won't be your money being spent. Later, QD.
