People don't get speeding tickets for going with the flow of traffic.
And no, it really isn't unsafe to go at the speed limit. Driving at 20mph on a highway can cause problems, but going 10-15mph slower than traffic in the rightmost lane is not going to cause any accidents.
- tedks 11y agoUnless you're black, or maybe also a muslim, or a sikh wearing a turban, or a native american. Unless the cop on that stretch has a quota to fill. Unless you're unlucky. Power is just as capricious, wherever you are in the world. People that select to be in positions of power are rarely the kind of people who can be trusted to always execute that power honestly. I see where the comment parent is coming from.

However: > People that select to be in positions of power are rarely the kind of people who can be trusted to always execute that power honestly. I think this is an exaggeration. People that select to be in positions of power are not always the kind of people who can be trusted to always execute that power honestly. The difference in degree of corruption in a country is roughly the same thing as the trustability of people in positions of power.
