IMO it is less desirable to be a person who incites rage as compared to a person who becomes occasionally enraged.
Driving is strange in that there are upper bounds, but rarely lower bounds. i.e. a minimum speed is a rarity (and even more rarely enforced).
If I made the rules then we would have speed targets (not limits) and people would be penalized for driving outside of a +/- 10% range. After all, it's not speed itself that kills. It's a large and sudden speed delta.
Ideally, the speed targets would also be variable and data driven.

- lunias 7y agoThat's true, but I'm not advocating ludicrous speeds. I feel like people rarely crash into stationary objects when they're traveling on a highway and are more likely to rear-end someone entering their lane traveling significantly slower than the flow of traffic (or swerve around them and accidentally hit someone else). Increasing the flow rate should in theory also cut down on the amount of traffic on the road at point in time; making crashing into others less likely by default. Also, crash your car off the road or into walls all you want. Just don't crash into someone else please.
