They believe they have a God given right to break the speed limit

    What does the top speed of a car has to do with how safe it is to go 10 km/h over the posted speed limit?

      People who feel they can drive fast never understand that the road may not be built for extra speed. Most often in cities there aren’t long enough sight lines for traffic joining a road to see a car that is speeding until it is too close. Speeders and zig zaggers don’t see what the cars behind them see: that it is actually the great defensive driving, emergency braking, swerving, going on in their wake, that allows their “safe” passage through traffic - none of which would be needed if they weren’t so selfish.

      Driving a center waited sports car is a lot easier to handle, and especially stop, than say a pickup truck right

      Also these speed limits were put in place when vehicles still had drum brakes haha

      The road I was stopped on should be 70 imo
