Sure. I do it all the time. You get a nice cruise without the worry of where the cops are posted up. You don't have to worry about getting pulled over. You get to your destination just a few minutes later, but to me, a few minutes later is definitely worth keeping a couple hundred dollars in my pocket. Surely you're not trying to justify speeding?Originally Posted by §treet_§peed
I'm not saying that speeding is a horrible crime or anything, but how can it be justified? Later, QD.

damn, this is the first thing i highly agree with you on, i think.
And they continue to keep the speed limits on major highways 55mph and allow people to drive 80+mph then ticket them for going 30+ over. Fucking ridiculous.

A friend got pulled over for going 4 over yesterday LMFAO. No ticket just a "where you going in such a hurry, slow it down."
55 on interstates means they are metropolitan area. like 285 and inside the perimeter. on the open highway its 65. and when you get really far out its 70. i really dont see the problem here.
way are you here. your unwanted here. please leave. i dont even know where all this pent up anger is coming from... i guess you see me as a threat.

that's what i was thinking.
No sense in asking him to explain, he's a compulsive liar.
i agree with the faster you go the worse a wreck can be if one were to happen but other than that this law is crap.
I personally think extremely aggressive speeders do need to be punished, like dicks with fast cars doing 100mph+ on I85 inside the perimeter.
but I also think that having a 35mph speed limit on a semi-residential roads or a 55mph speed limit on a 5 lane freeway is ridiculous, even if it is inside the perimeter. As I can recall back before the oil crisis in the 70s speed limits were a little higher, and when the oil crisis hit, a publication was released saying that millions of gallons of gasoline will be saved if all the speed limits were lowered by 10mph.
so here we are with speed limits from the 70s.
At your age, you can't recall anything past 1990. Later, QD.

Maybe I am just thinking of everyone as if they were myself. When I drive I am fully aware of my surroundings and who or what is around me in case I need react to a situation. I have forgotten that probably at least 50% of the people on the road are complete morons and I don't know how they got their license in the first place.
lol
lol I am not actually talking about my personal experiences, but from talking to people who were actually alive during that time period.
Am I wrong?
Yes. It was lowered by 15mph, not 10, lolol. Speed limits used to be set at 70mph across interstates until 1975 (I think). A mandatory nationwide speed limit was enacted and set to 55mph all across the US. It was abolished in 1995 and states were free to set their own limits. Later, QD.

if there was no traffic brazillians of gallons would be saved.
how about we face the truth and say that 70% of people here speeding or not eat, talk, put make-up on, etc. when driving.
I tend to agree with the law, however, i do have some issues with it. Over time, i can see how this "super speeder" stuff could bleed over into normal speeding violations - as tends to happen to laws in general.
Good intentions to start out with. (funding hospital's ERs or whatever, great, awesome, wonderful! *yay!*) that's how the state gets the publics approval - then eventually it turns into something nobody intended after the state gets used to having the income - like an extra Violation Fee tacked on to every traffic ticket processed.
Aren't traffic tickets supposed to be the deterrent from excessive speed? Now that the state legislature has gotten used to having the income, through fines and whatnot, it has decided that the top 3% (example) of all speeders need to have a much higher fine (tax) than the other 97% in order to increase the states revenue. This seems, in my opinion, to go against the spirit of traffic laws in their entirety.
I can see suits being filed on the basis of "profiling" (another example of a well intended law that's gotten out of hand) - harrassment - as well as unconstitutional taxes. Which i think someone brought up before hand. In my opinion; if this law is to work (work = get people to slow down. which should be the entire reason for a speeding ticket in the first place, but apparently not this time), it will need to be enforced EXACTING to the guidelines laid down with zero tolerance so it can be "fair" to everyone caught red handed.

you sir, have it ass backwards. I know plenty of ppl who drive over the limit in the fast lane who 80-95% of the time dont text/eat/ect. Hell im always in the fast lane going 65-75 and im having to dodge the slow unaware drivers all the fucking time. ppl try and merge into me and shit. They ride in the fast lane doing the exact speed limit getting passed by ppl in the slow lane. Shit is annoying. Ill fucking blow past them and give em the stink eye and blow off so they look at me passing their slow ass and get the fuck outta the fast lane.
hell.. i need one of those windshield banners that says move over.
you sir at 100% correct. This law will get out of hand over time or never be put to use correctly. u got some green.I tend to agree with the law, however, i do have some issues with it.

I've never seen the ricer flyby explained in a step-by-step procedure like that before. Cool
I usually stay in the middle lane. Its annoying to have to deal with people merging on/off if you're on the same highway for 20 miles or so. I stay out of the left lanes so people can pass and so that the faster drivers will have those lanes. The problem is the idiots that weave, or who put the hammer down no matter what lane they're in.
I don't give a fuck who is more skilled and/or paying attention, the rules of the road are the same for everyone. Everyone wants to believe they are Schummy or Dale Jr. but even those mokes have to obey the rules of the road.

lol i wasnt talking about a ricer fly by. for those u gotta fall back a bit and down shift 2 gears to get a running start.
I was saying that ppl who go slow in teh fast lane need to get the fuck outta the way. A rule of the road is the fast/passing lane is that you are supposed to get out of the way of a faster moving car if you see them approaching/wanting to pass right?
And i dont weave. I just keep my speed of 65-75 and depending on traffic usually depends on wut lane im in. Sometimes im in the middle, sometimes it looks like im that asshole in the fast lane flying by everyone when im really doing 10 over.
Prepare for a long rant, and slow left lane drivers is my biggest pet peeve, and IMO, can be linked to the cause of all congestion related traffic.
Not exactly, but VERY close. The passing lane is used ONLY for passing. Not pacing AT the limit with the car next to you, not driving in it when the highway is empty, or when there is a stretch of road without cars in the 2nd to left most lane. You have to be going faster than the nearest car to the right of you, even if they are speeding, you have to be going faster, even if barely. If someone is behind you, you don't have to speed up or move over, but you better be passing, and when you reach a big enough gap to fit in, you move the fuck over because it's a decent ammount of space where you will not be passing, then the car behind you, that was passing with you, can decide to actually pass you if they want, by speeding up. In theory, if everyone in the world owned a Buggati Veyron, and they're all gonig 200MPH on a 65 MPH expressway, if you're in the left most lane, your ass better be doing 201+MPH, or not only will you get the speeding charge, you can STILL get a charge for interrupting the flow of traffic for not going fast enough. It has nothing to do with relation to the limits though, just the speed others are going. I will say, if you're in the laft most lane, and someone is behind you though, especially if they approached you quickly, move. and if they flash their lights, it's CALLED FLASH TO PASS, idk how it got lost in translation as a sign of road rage or aggression but flashing the high beams quickly a few times behind someone in the left lane, just means, please yield to the right, it isn't meant to be disrespectful or anything.
So in THEORY, if someone in the left lane is ALWAYS passing, then the expressway free of wrecks, should NEVER get to a point where all 5 lanes are stopping and going, but the cause of it, is that a few exits up ahead, there is somebody going the same speed as the car to the right of them in that left lane, and causing a moving block, then people behind them keep their distance, and the people behind them and etc. etc. until you get all the way back to the people who are rolling at 15 mph, and keep going and you get the 5mph crawling stop and go. 285 West is like this before you pass 400 every morning, but it doesn't make sense to me why an exit on the right side of the highway should effect the left 2 lanes, but because of idiots, and SO MANY PEOPLE not knowing the left lane laws, it is the reason you have congestion. Thus it is why it is my biggest pet peeve. ONE or TWO people can block and entire HIGHWAY and add 15 mins to your routine, I don't see why Driver's ed doesn't focus on this AT ALL.
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
If people are so worried about it, simple don't speed. Leave for place on time or take ur time going to places. Still worried then invest in a good radar detector and a good laser jammer....first 2-3 tickets it saves you from will pay for itself (but still keep it as backup not excuse to speed).
its the concept were worried about. What it represents
and i have a radar detector and leave on time :boobies: but slow traffic pisses me off
Again, I have to ask. Why are you worried? Do you stand to lose a lot of money? If so, then that's well and good maybe it'll make you slow down. It's apparent the only people that are pitching a fit over this new law are the ones that have something (more) to lose. Later, QD.its the concept were worried about. What it represents
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
because it is a possibility i could lose alot of money and my license again. Would be pissed if it was because of this law. and im not pitching a fit, just throwing out random thoughts/attempting to stir up the pot.
So this is NOT incentive to slow down and play it safe? Or do you just not mind throwing your money at the government? Not to mention your driver's license? Later, QD.

At least he admits hes the asshole.
Of course I own this.
IT PUTS THE OREOS ON THE RIM
it is but I feel the laws are improper for the way everything works. Because in reality 80+ of the cars on the road are breaking the speed limit.
psh if they made the driving test harder then the need for laws like this wouldnt be needed.
No sir. Making the test harder isn't going to slow people down. Taking money from the people would be a far more effective way. Later, QD.

ugh maybe you should read up on the law. instead of reading about the telephone game people play on the internet. if you actually did some research onthe law instead of going of what he said about what he siad 2- times over. you might learn something. and know what the law is. geez. IA is fucking stupid!
+1 sort of like what they do in germany its like 4000 to get your license and they hav every strict rules of the road. and every fine is heavy which i based off your annual income. guess what... very few people break the law because they know its going to cost them, money or license.

in germany they have the autobahn so really no reason for any laws to be broken... and it's not just in germany that you have to pay a large fee to get your license, it's all across europe.
POST A LINK BIG BOY. Ima call BS until you do.
But, would I not be wrong in ASSUMING that an officer pulls you over for speeding. That he could get you charged with this new law?
You know better; next time will be a ban.
Only if you're going 85+ on the interstate or 70+ on a 2 lane road. If you're going 75 on a 65 mph interstate the ticket is exactly as it would have been before the Super speeder law existed. It is written like 50 times in this thread.
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
Many loop holes are in the rules cops go by. Especially for those of us who have had a not so good driving record in our past.
You know better; next time will be a ban.
Well yeah if a cop wants to lie and just write down a higher number for the money to go towards the cancer research or w/e it was then yeah, he just fucked you over, but at least for a cause.
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
Doesn't always go for a good cause. Maybe 5% of the time it does.
You know better; next time will be a ban.
Normal court fees yeah, they can go to shitty things like building statues of dead politicians in a park, this law(Super Speeder) however was developed JUST for funding to a cancer society for children or something along those lines.
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
That's the cover anyways right?
