Super Speeder Law

[Njobe]

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.

so called track, is a track lol.
yes there is no bearing on the speed limit on how much the car has horsepower, but you are more likely to go over the speed limit the more horsepower the car has. i wouldn't go by that unwritten rule because in south carolina you will get pulled over for going 5-8mph over lol. happend to me . why worry about it? because it's just another way for the gov't to get more money. that's like saying if they wanted to ban guns, because i don't own a gun i shouldn't care?

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.

From the mouth of a Bulloch County sheriff's deputy:

In GEORGIA no one but state troopers can give a ticket for under 10 over, because the highway patrol doesn't get the money like a local police department would...eliminating a conflict of monetary interest.

The public tag line however, is the the troopers are "better trained"....which is true, but you see what I'm getting at. Sort of doing the right thing for the wrong reason.

and that is who i got pulled over by in south carolina, a state trooper lol.

[quickdodge®]

i wouldn't go by that unwritten rule because in south carolina you will get pulled over for going 5-8mph over lol.

Not necessarily. I've gone through 35 states in the last 2 years driving 7,8,9 mph over and never been pulled over for speeding once. This includes South Carolina (which I happen to drive to at least 4 times a week).

that's like saying if they wanted to ban guns, because i don't own a gun i shouldn't care?

A little difference here. Speeding is a law already in effect. They are just upping the ante on fines. Owning a gun (at least in GA) is not against the law. I see where you were headed with that, though. Again, it's not your money so why worry about what someone else is spending their money on if they get caught speeding?

Yes, I knew that. I didn't state that "rule" as a matter of fact. It was a general one. Technically they can. Just the high majority don't worry about it. Later, QD.

[§treet_§peed]

Can anyone tell me what usually happens when you do try to go the speed limit on a highway or interstate?

[Njobe]

Not necessarily. I've gone through 35 states in the last 2 years driving 7,8,9 mph over and never been pulled over for speeding once. This includes South Carolina (which I happen to drive to at least 4 times a week).

well, i got a ticket for 8mph over when i was coming back from myrtle beach on the july 4th weekend.

as long as you see where i was headed lol. i see your point as well. i just think the fines should of stayed the way they are and that it should be left up to the judge to decide the punishment.

i had the low majority then lol.

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?

I'm not saying that speeding is a horrible crime or anything, but how can it be justified? Later, QD.

[Njobe]

damn, this is the first thing i highly agree with you on, i think.

I didn't say no one ever gets one.

As I said, that's not my concern so I don't care how they deal punishment. Now if we were talking imprisonment, it would be an entirely different thing. I'd be on your side of "this isn't fair." But it's just raising fines, so it's not big deal. Later, QD.

i just think if they are going to do this, they should raise the speed limit at least 5mph. then add the 5mph to how fast you have to be going for the SS law thing. get what i'm trying to say?

[AnthonyF]

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.

No, no threat, just a potential lover.

[xxbckiexx]

I didn't get a ticket lol. I haven't had one in almost 3 years. I was just seeing if anyone else knew about this new anal rape law going into affect the first of the year.

You're full of shit. You said you couldn't go into the marines because you had a ticket you were waiting to settle through in court. Whats the real story???

If asking an honest question is me being a man cave, then get me some tampons cause I'm fixing to start flowing. Later, QD.

[Total_Blender]

I always do the speed limit or a little under. I drive an old truck with no power, I'm not going to blow the mofo up just to keep up with traffic. Also, my speedometer is wrong because I have a different tire size from stock.

I don't want to get pulled over for anything... a Woodstock city cop had my car towed one time because some bitch at my insurance company got one number on my VIN wrong. I got pulled over just because I had out-of-town plates and I was on Bells Ferry at 4:30 AM. After all that hassle, I haven't consciously broken a traffic law since, and I try to keep a low profile and not draw attention to myself.

Also, theres almost always some fuckstick in a lifted truck tailgating me, then passing me on the right when there are 2 or more lanes open to the left. Most of the time these trucks have IA stickers. I don't see why these shitbirds have to drive 100mph all the time

But yeah, anything that gets super-aggressive drivers off the roads is fine with me.

[RedEj8]

The fact still remains that those that are usually going that fast are more aware than the motherfuckers going 10 under in the fast lane. The ones speeding this much are not talking on the cell phone/eating while they're driving. They are paying attention to wtf they are doing. The autobahn proves my point.. WAY less accidents with the lax speed laws.

Speed doesn't kill our kids... What a bunch of BS.. Drunk and/or dumb kids kill themselves.

So what you're saying is that the only way a person can be dangerously speeding are the ones using cell phones or eating? You don't find that a little bit ridiculous? Later, QD.

[Total_Blender]

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

[RedEj8]

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.

[S2KJD]

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.

[TheProfiteer]

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.

[Njobe]

if there was no traffic brazillians of gallons would be saved.

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.

[Njobe]

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.

[ash7]

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.

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.

Am I wrong?

[UpSideDownDesi]

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).

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.

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.
