  3. Do People Drive The Speed Limit Where You Live?

    in Open Chat

    Posted

    Whoever made the speed limits here in my town are complete morons. I mean they give a brand new road thats in the countryside with no houses or anything by it a 40 mph speed limit. While the road I live on that is a one lane, bumpy out of shape thing has a speed limit of 45. I'm not saying we follow these speeds, I just say it's stupid. All these stupid parents that are trying to make the world a "perfect little place" for their little bratty children really .. REALLY .. annoy me. i get people knocking on my door all the time, "Will you sign this making it illegal to drive if your under 21" "will you sign this so I can make the speed limit 35 instead of 45 because my kids play in the road" ... Someone actually said that to me. WHY would you let your kids play in the road. If the kid would get hit I would blame the parent not the poor guy who hit them. Anyway, no, I usually go 5 - 10 mph over.

    Here's a story:

    We had a blow-out and a cop pulled over to help us out. When we were waiting for the towtruck, he told me about a little experiment he did. He pulled over in the right lane and did exactly the speed limit. Everytime someone would try to pass him, he would get on his loudspeaker and tell them not to or he would pull them over. He said he did this for about an hour and he got to a big hill. He looked back and he noticed the traffic was backed up probably two miles.

    Doesn't that say something is wrong with the speed limits? :mellow:
