Depends on where you are. If you're on private property or a track (lots of them open to the public), you're only a danger to yourself.
OP didn't say he was on a public roadway when he hit the limiter.
- chris_mc 8y ago>I don't care what situation you pull from your ass to give a counterexample Very few people are in that position and I don't give a crap about their "needs" on the track.
- DKnoll 8y agoI'm not pulling it from my ass. There are a lot of people who take their cars out on the track, I know quite a few that have. Just because it happens outside your bubble doesn't mean it doesn't happen. You're being unnecessarily rude and confrontational, which isn't justified despite you thinking you have the moral high ground.
- chris_mc 8y ago>a lot of people Yes, maybe 0.01% of all people. I also used to do autocross, so I know people enjoy track racing, I just don't care because it's a waste of resources, bad for the environment, and not a good reason to get rid of speed limiters that would save lives. >You're being unnecessarily rude and confrontational I don't have to be polite to people who risk lives unnecessarily. You think you have the moral high ground with "freedumb for all" but in actuality, I do because I'm trying to protect lives with very little impact to things that matter (racing doesn't matter).
- DKnoll 8y agoI never said I oppose limiters in cars. I have one in my vehicle I have not removed. > I'm trying to protect lives with very little impact to things that matter I don't see what you're doing to protect lives by commenting on HN. Stop throwing around that 0.01% stat you made up. More than 1 in every 10,000 people take their car to a track day at least once in their lifetime.
