As far as I understand your comment, driving at the speed limit is unsafe because everybody is speeding. Sounds like a self-fulfilling thing. Maybe it would be even safer if the majority would obey the speed limit?
- URSpider94 9y agoDid you read the link I posted? Theres lots of empirical data out there that says that drivers drive the same speed on a road, regardless of the posted limit. That speed is based on their judgment of the road - sight lines, shoulder width, sharpness of curves, etc.
- TheCoelacanth 9y agoPeople speed because of poor road design and poor enforcement of speed limits.
- CamperBob2 9y agoJust curious (and not trying to challenge or be confrontational), how long have you held a driver's license?
- CamperBob2 9y agoAnd the idea that the speed limit itself is the problem... is there any room in your worldview for that possibility? Why not lower it to 5 MPH on a nationwide basis? Think of all the lives that would save!
