Super Speeder Law

[speedminded]

that is a horrible way to view things and that mentality is why everything is so bad now. the govt takes away rights and freedoms and grows more and more powerful bit by bit; because ppl dont care because it doesnt affect them in the short term.

Is driving a right?

Is it your right to be in anyones house you choose? Is it your right to wear your shoes if they ask you to remove them in their home? The road isn't yours and it's not your right to drive on it, it's a privilege and if you don't like the rules of it you can simply not drive.

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..

Where the hell is 400 a 2 lane road?

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?

5mph? You do understand mph stands for miles per hour right? The length of Highway 400 is 53.75 miles. That means driving the ENTIRE length from Dahlonega to Buckhead 5mph faster saves a grand total of 4 minutes. Seriously? Then driving to Seattle from atlanta 5 mph faster would barely save 3 hours of driving for 40 hours.

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."

Bullshit.

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.

Trauma hospitals.

you do know the fine is only 200 extra dollars right. geez some of you people are so dense. wtf

Exactly. The law is only adding $200 to the fine of those that are excessively speeding. It doesn't mark the offender in any way any more than a ticket today.

that would be 4 minutes and 3 hours you didn't have before. do you know what 3 hours are? 180 minutes, 10,800 seconds, or 10,800,000 miliseconds.


the point i was trying to make is, cars today are built to go faster then cars a decade ago. if you are going to up the fines why not up the speed limit at least 5mph. that way you are going 85mph now and get the extra $200 fine, but if the extra 5mph would be there you wouldn't get it unless you were going 90mph.

I shot your "point" down when you tried it on me. It doesn't matter what the car manufacturers make the cars speed go to. The government can set the speed to whatever it deems necessary. Maybe the car companies should start making their cars not go so fast. Later, QD.

Not everyone on the road drives a brand new vehicle. There are plenty of 1960's/1970's vehicles on the roads with bad tires and 4 wheel drum brakes. Also, aside from emissions in the Metro counties, vehicle inspections are not required. If it has 4 wheels and all the lights work, then whatever POS you find at the junkyard is probably street legal in most of the counties.

i know that's why they should deem necessary to change the speed limit or why not pass a law saying car companies can't create such high powered cars. since they're throwing around new laws lol

Or just not drive your 150mph capable car above the speed limit. HA!

They're there. I drive one every day. Later, QD.

Just because cars can go faster doesn't mean drivers can handle them well.
