- HWR_14 5y agoYou are the dangerous one for not engaging in an illegal but safer activity. It kinda assumes you're right if you call it a dangerous activity.
- Filligree 5y agoThe illegal activity is in fact illegal. Nothing more should need to be said.
- fallingknife 5y agoIf you are an authoritarian, yes.
- HWR_14 5y agoPlenty more should be said. It's a bad law that endangers people and should be changed. Going an unsafe speed is another law, and its entirely possible that there is no speed that does not violate one of those laws. The law is a relic of when cars were less safe, and the same safety can be achieved with much higher speeds.
- orwin 5y agoNo, you are just more conscious about speed-related issues than your local council. They should engage in road work to reduce the road width, making everyone slow down.
- qubitcoder 5y agoYou are behaving dangerously. Accidents are caused by speed differences (one reason). People changing lanes to pass you introduces all sorts of additional complexity, increases speed deltas, reduces reaction time, limits visibility, requires quicker maneuvers, forces other drivers to double and triple check that others aren't trying to pass simultaneously, increases the risk to pedestrians and cyclists, etc. Deliberately going the speed limit when it results in other drivers constantly passing you increases the danger to to everyone else around you significantly. Please give this some thought. Ideally, the German model would be enforced. Slower traffic keeps right, left lanes are for overtaking. And many places are unrestricted, meaning there's no speed limit. The system works quite well, and the flow of traffic is _vastly_ more predictable, and feels a lot safer than the US interstate system.
