So you like the fact that the police know exactly where and when you drove? Because the licence plate tracking cameras require that, you know.
Also, the notion that there is some universal speed limit that makes driving safe on a particular road is silly.
Two scenarios with speed limit of x:
1) sunny day, brand new porsche, new tyres. I'm driving at a sped of x+5
2) windy, snowy day, nissan sunny from the 80s with almost worn out tyres. I'm driving at x-5
Pick the safer one. I doubt anyone would think option 2 is safer, yet 1 is illegal and 2 is perfectly fine.
- nicky0 9y agoI see. Your'e saying: since speed limits aren't perfect in all cases, so lets not have them at all.
- terryf 9y agoI do believe in increasing personal responsibility of people and having less of a nanny state, so I do tend towards that answer, but it's really not that black and white. On highways and places where pedestrians and bicyclists are not allowed - yes, no speed limit makes a lot of sense (and is available in Germany for example) In cities and suburbs where kids can run into the street in unexpected places - more thought is needed what is the best solution. I've actually gotten a speeding ticket because I was going 35km/h in a "construction" zone with a temporary 30km/h limit on a freaking Sunday with nobody around. That is also clearly ridiculous.
