On the topic of driving legislature and enforcement in general, I hate the sentiment of speed limits. It's a mishmash of trying to reduce fatalities by making person-and-vehicle collisions happen at a slower speed that is for some reason applied to the motorway.
For anyone that has gone 155mph on the Autobahns unlimited section, it becomes blatantly obvious that modern high end cars are meant to do that sort of speed, and there's nothing that scary about it when you have 6 lanes and keep a few hundred meters of braking distance. The fact that 90mph would get your license taken away in the U.K. makes me sick considering that almost all little crapbox cars sold in Europe happily break that limit (even if they're screaming in 5th gear).
- timbit42 4y agoYes, let's let evolution take its natural course and rid society of such drivers.
- explaingarlic 4y agoRhetoric. No significant link between deaths and the unlimited speed on the Autobahns exists (and such data would be subject to scrutiny immediately, given that deaths on the motorway go up with socioeconomic factors, the amount of sun in a given year etc). You are, however, wasting your life behind a wheel for longer than you need to be. Really senseless, and it puts you on the level of those who deny the efficacy of vaccines for the sake of satisfying their fear.
