Yeah, 5 over is my norm.
Same. Speeding tickets are so fucking expensive where I live. Guaranteed to be at least $300 at a minimum. I can't afford that, so I barely go over to mitigate the effect of being the slowest driver on the road. In general though, idgaf.
I also drive a Prius, so it's at least somewhat expected ha
What if I don't drive at all? Why should we accept people like you being infinitely more likely then me to kill someone with a car? Where is the limit? Why can't we just make all speed limits zero?
This, but unironically
It's 100% unironic.
Nobody cares about your condescending non-solution that ignores human nature and is therefore worthless.
Traffic engineers have to design for the reality of how people actually act, not some theoretical Platonic ideal of how they "should" act.
Edit: that first sentence is harsher in tone than @[email protected] deserved, in retrospect. I'm not going to rewrite it because I still mean what I wrote, but please treat it as being addressed towards people who make that sort of argument in bad faith instead of at Pablo. (Sorry, I guess I've still got some leftover cynicism from Reddit.)
Increase the fines (and scale by income) until they provide sufficient incentive to pay attention and have the tiniest bit of self control. Then the people holding a ticket can beg the engineers to fix the road to remove the need for not being lazy and impatient instead of the people whose kids were just killed.
I got the need...
What do you do with all those seconds you save each day?
Procrastinate.
