Description: 3 panel comic of someone interacting with a cop during traffic stop
Conversation: Cop says "Do you know why I stopped you?" Driver responds "Because you're a class traitor?" Cop is too stunned to speak.
I’m also a fan of the 30 Rock punchline: “Because you got straight C’s in high school?”
Probably misquoting, been quite a few years since I watched it.
Don't you disparage the captain of the junior varsity wrestling team!
I fucking love that show. Such good writing.
The Jack Welch bits haven't aged well, but arguably in a way that's even better
I have a cousin that used that line, it didn't go well for him.
Like the cop would even understand that statement
Then the cop shot him for resisting arrest. The end.
The cop isn't stunned, he's just trying to understand what was said.
Don't worry, either decision branch results in police brutality.
No no, he’s “smelling a suspicious odor” and about to ask the citizen to step out of the car.
For real though, why can't people just drive at the speed limit?
The safest speed to drive is the speed of traffic, because the thing that's most likely to cause accidents is changing lanes or speed. Traffic is almost always moving faster than the speed limit, so the speed limit actually reduces safety. If they were designed based on the speed people feel comfortable driving then they'd be reasonable and safe, but that's not how they were decided. Speed limits are bad.
The reason traffic moves at above the speed limit is that people see the speed limit and go slightly above it because it feels fine.
Speed limits are absolutely necessary in residential areas, and still a good thing on highways. High speeds are insanely fuel inefficient and they do also endanger people more.
My country has been debating putting a speed limit on highways that previously didn't have one so I've heard quite a lot about this topic.
Because I don't want too. Without taking the time to dig up resources John Oliver put it best that speed limits were decided on not by science or safety standards but what appears to be random guessing.
That said I follow rules, 10 over on low traffic interstate and highways, 5 over on low traffic main roads, speed limit everywhere else.
And pretty sure I read outside of impaired or distracted driving the thing that kills or injures most drivers is trying to make the yellow, not speed.
Drawn in the third panel
4th panel is the cop beating them to death.
OK but I want the official cop hat.
"No sir, you were doing 80 in a 30 zone."
