Half the time whatever butt nugget is tailgating me and/or passing me on the right at 100mph is usually sending a text, talking on the phone, fiddling with the radio, watching a movie, microwaving a hotpocket, fingerbanging some skank in the passenger seat, rolling a joint, etc etc. Theres too much damn technology in vehicles nowadays. Damn kids need to get off my lawn![]()
No, I was using that as an example. I was trying to get the point across that the people speeding are usually paying more attention and are more aware of their surroundings than the people just cruising down the road going the speed limit or under. Those people are usually the ones with one hand on the top of the wheel and talking on the phone or to someone else in the car or trying to read something/eat/fap/finger bang the skank in the passenger seat.
I am disregarding the big truck drivers with this statement because they usually have no choice but to go close to the speed limit.
I wasn't thinking about your post as a trucker. Sorry if I led you to think that. I know I usually post from a trucker's POV.
I was typing, though, as a passenger car driver. I see just as many people flying by me on phones or with a big Mac half stuffed in their mouths as I do people not speeding by. But traffic wrecks aren't solely dependent on how careful one is. Say I'm driving at 60mph on 285 and you came flying by at 80. I have a blowout and it causes me to swerve into you. If you weren't going as fast as you were, you wouldn't be near me and wouldn't have been involved (more than likely). Also in that same scenario, the wreck is going to be a lot worse because of your speed than it would be if both of us were going 60mph. Your car will careen a lot further and cause more havoc.
So there is stuff you can't see, foretell that play into the most careful of drivers. I do understand what you mean, but I don't think I agree that much. Later, QD.
i have to beg to differ on this. people that are speeding usually are not aware of their speed. because of the cell phone and etc. i have yet to really see someone speeding that isnt on the phone or playing with themselves or something else. people that are aware of how they are driving are the ones driving the speed limit. you have it ass backwards.
