Of course Texas has laws against speeding. I never suggested otherwise.

So those laws are unjust?

What’s my point? It’s obviously that Seattle encourages drivers to report speeders, which is a Nanny State mentality.

It doesn't matter where I live, I don't have any twisted "loyalty" to someone that is recklessly driving down a street or highway endangering innocent lives. Should I be "loyal" to someone that very well might be drunk or high on drugs and not report it to the police?

So if you're driving down the freeway with your wife and small children and someone recklessly speeds by you at 90-100 MPH, you just ignore it?

So if I’m speeding and you don’t like it, move over to the right lane and mind your own damn business. If Mr. Law-Dog thinks I’m a nuisance, he’ll make it his business.

Public safety is MY business. Again, unlike you I have no twisted "loyalty" to people that don't respect the moral laws of man. I'd not only report you in a second, I'd stop and give the police officer the full details of your disrespect for your fellow human beings.

I think you're on the wrong website.

First, minding my own damn business doesn't equate to having some "twisted loyalty." Second, speeding doesn't equal endangering innocent lives. It just pisses you off so you want control someone else's business. Third, speeders are not necessarily drunk or high. If they're swerving, sure go ahead and report them.

So if you're driving down the freeway with your wife and small children and someone recklessly speeds by you at 90-100 MPH, you just ignore it?

See. There you go. You equate speeding with reckless driving. That's your opinion. It doesn't make it so. I bet you'd crap your pants on the Autobahn driving next to all those reckless speeders. But to answer your question, no, I wouldn't report it.

Public safety is MY business.

No. You just think it is because you like to control others' behavior.

I'd not only report you in a second, I'd stop and give the police officer the full details of your disrespect for your fellow human beings.

Well if you do that in Texas, the LEO will tell you to get your ass back in the car and be on your way. And if you did it at night, you'd likely get a gun in your face for endangering the LEO's life. They don't appreciate "helpful" citizens who try to interfere in their business of public safety.
