“Your 100% missing the point, and should check with many of the states DOT's and Highways Patrol offices in terms of resetting speed limits to reduce accidents. Many speed limits are being increased to increase safety.”
Let’s see what is really happening here… safety is not increased, it is only changed… most often a choice between fewer accidents with higher dollar lose and higher death and injury rates… caused by the speed differential of so many vehicles traveling well above the posted speed LIMITS…
There are so many that ignore the speed limits that it cannot be policed well..
These speeders are creating a serious safety problem because of the speed differential they maintain causing a lot of braking and lane changing… blaming the legal driver is nothing but self-justification for your illegal activity…
It is suggested to up the speed limit to minimize those speed differentials and the resulting accidents even though damage risk is much higher…
In reality it is them just throwing their hands in the air, and giving up on enforced safety, by allowing the speeders and those that have no respect for following the law to establish the speed…
You can’t enforce the pot laws… to many violators, not enough police… so the answer is to decriminalize it, tax it, approve it for recreational use… it’s the same thing, same mentality…
Like those that personally choose to speed (and it is never done personally for safety, that’s too funny for words)… they and the pot users numbers have or are growing to the point of being able govern the majority…
Imagine that in the name of safety we can now or soon will be legally allowed to speed, while getting near drunk and smoking some recreational drugs… how great is that…
