Nevertheless, the speed limit is the law. If you choose to violate it, don't whine when you get gigged for it.
And I hope you can live with yourself if you run over a kid.
>>Nevertheless, the speed limit is the law.
Gosh! No kidding? (Where did I ever dispute that it was the law? My point was that it is often a DUMB law, with linits set unjustifiably low.)
>>If you choose to violate it, don't whine when you get gigged for it.
I consider it a patriotic duty to "whine" when nicked for violating a stupid law. Only in a police state is that prohibited.
>>And I hope you can live with yourself if you run over a kid.
You too. Staring at your speedo is not always the safest approach.
I love the irony of the little martinet moms who dutifully drive 19 mph through the school zone when no kids are present, as traffic builds up behind, then proceed out of the zone at 20 over the next limit, making illegal lane changes, failing to signal, and rolling through stop signs. But since many cops have made speed obedience (not safety) their schtick, the brownshirts have taken up the cause.
