Don't forget it gives authorities a reason to pull over almost anyone without needing a reason (except speeding which everyone is doing)

- dutchflyboy 17y agoPersonally I think speeding IS a reason. It's true that people can keep safe distances without speed limits, however it's undeniable that people who go much faster than the average speed are dangerous. Limiting the speed is one way to try to get everyone to drive the same speed. It's a system and as long as everyone sticks to it, there are less accidents. If you change the system, no problem, but don't give this as an example to declare a country a police-state. Your speed is completely in your control.
- po 17y agoIf that is the case, then they should pull over everyone who is speeding and give them all tickets. They don't do this. Everyone behaving normally is always in violation so the police pick and choose who they give tickets to. The extreme version of that is called a police state.
- Dove 17y agoI definitely consider this a bug, not a feature. I don't want to live in a world where authorities can arbitrarily pull people over. That leaves a lot of room for corruption.
- philwelch 17y agoAs far as I know, there's nothing legally stopping them from pulling people over arbitrarily anyway, speeding or no.
