The problem is, at least in Virginia, every single speed limit is set low, and cops randomly pull over cars that are just traveling the same speed as the cars around them, all above the speed limit.
So license removal is not really fair. Not that this is any better, but if you at least get to keep driving legally, its generally slightly less worse.
- tonyedgecombe 1y agoJust because everybody else is doing it doesn't mean you have to as well.
- worewood 1y agoExcept that driving at a speed significantly different from the surrounding traffic increases the risk of a crash.
- op00to 1y agoSo does speeding.
- tonyedgecombe 1y agoI’m not sure that is the case. Bunching together look like a higher risk to me.
- potato3732842 1y agoBunching together happens because of irregular speed. You have traffic clusters because the front is slower than whatever the "natural" speed is, but not so slow that people elect to pass. If traffic is all moving in a narrow range of speed the clusters are smaller and less dense.
- saalweachter 1y agoSpeeding is one of the leading causes of fatal accidents. Tailgating is one of the leading causes of non-fatal accidents. Sounds like it's safer for me to let people tailgate me at the speed limit.
- kube-system 1y agoMany of the people killed by speeding are not, themselves, speeding.
- op00to 1y agoI drive through Virginia a lot, and have never seen speed limits set any differently than any other east coast state. Never had a problem obeying the speed limit, knowing the risks of speeding there. If everyone is disobeying the law, they should all be cited but that is difficult for an individual cop. I don’t see why, as long as the officer isn’t racially profiling, selecting one violator at random is unfair. Can you explain why? As for license removal being unfair - did the person cited not commit the offense?
