    No, I’m asking drivers to follow the rules designed to make driving safer, which is something a human is fully capable to do - and does whenever repercussions appear, like near the speed cams. If controlling that means installing speed cams at every corner, I’m all in. As long as it’s not that, we have what we have to enforce those limits.

    I also fully support and actively use public transportation and only engage in driving when necessary (which is actually quite little).

    And please, do not jump to the conclusion about someone’s mental health based on a comment on the Internet, this is rude and likely inaccurate. All I strongly state there is that it is insane to blame someone who follows the rules on the road instead of those who routinely break them out of habit and convenience.

    I’m pretty sure those who have set it at 60mph have calculations you didn’t consider.

    Maybe there are places on the road where someone may suddenly appear, be it human or a wild animal? Maybe the road can get slippery? Maybe the cars going above 60mph create too much noise in the neighborhood? There are many more reasons one could set a road at that, and many may not even come to your mind.

    And no, this is almost certainly not about tickets. If it is - screw them and follow the rule!

    The danger is created in the first place by normalization of speeding.

    I am aware that, technically, if I’d drive by traffic at any given time, accidents will be less likely. But this danger of variable speed is not created by me moving too slow, it’s because of others moving too fast, because speeding is normalized in the first place, which introduces the problem that wouldn’t otherwise be there. The lane speed should be within bounds of speed limit, the rest is not and should never be my problem or fault.

    Now, don’t get me wrong, if my actions can prevent an actually imminent accident (such as speeding up to let someone return to lane before reverse traffic traps them) - of course I will. But for regular driving, I strictly adhere to the rules and regulations. If this gets someone who breaks the rules in an accident - that’s on them, maybe it’ll teach them a lesson.

    This.

    I drive by the limit, and every time I say this a bunch of folks jumps in saying I am the problem when I stop my lane and poor poor speeders have to adapt and not crash into each other.

    Speed limits are there for a reason. Speeders love to say shit like “they’re outdated”, but this is also wrong, they are up to date with vehicles on the road.

    Drive. By. The. Damn. Limit. Those who installed them are more informed than you about risks and dangers on this track, and no, your car brakes are not as good as you think they are (and also there’s likely someone behind you with worse ones).

    Kitchens are fairly small, washing machines are commonly installed in the bathroom, and dishwashers are normally not used in them.
