I love the statement “Humans violate the rules in a safe and principled way”. Really sums up the problem.
So when you break the rules, what principles (i.e. rules) are you following?
- userbinator 9y agoDiscretion.
- Piskvorrr 9y agoMight as well say "magic", and it would be equally useful. In other words, a private ruleset which partially overlaps with the official one.
- StavrosK 9y agoYou assess the road conditions and conclude that the speed limit is set too low for a road that is in broad daylight and has no other cars. Are you implying that the speed limit is binarily safe, no matter the road conditions (night, rain, snow, congestion, etc)?
- dx034 9y agoI doubt many drivers know their car and tyres well enough to assess the safe speed given current conditions. People either adapt to others or choose a speed they feel comfortable with. Speed limits are not perfect for every condition but humans are certainly not good at choosing a better one while driving.
