In 2 million+ miles of driving professionally, plus whatever I have driven in my private vehicles the last 40 something years, I have seen such situations many times. Maybe after a few more miles you may see that.
Stay off the highways if you want to go slow and hide under your sheets where it’s “safe”.
I had to chuckle at that. If you had even a hint of an idea what I have been doing for the last 40 years, you wouldn't have made such a statement.
STOP LEGISLATING for some ILLUSION of “safety”
No where did I mention legislating anything. But now that you've brought that word up, I think it rather unfortunate that common sense has to be legislated sometimes because so many people lack it. According to you, even if the posted limit was 200MPH, people would do 10-20MPH above it.
So in 2.5 Million miles, you have seen something and are still here. That’s 10-20 times more than most people drive in a lifetime. NOT something I’d care about at all. There are far more common random things that can kill you throughout the day.
“I had to chuckle at that. If you had even a hint of an idea what I have been doing for the last 40 years, you wouldn’t have made such a statement.”
Let me guess, you were a traffic cop? Haha. Well, if you did do something with a high element of danger for long enough you’d know “safety” is not as it seems...
“According to you, even if the posted limit was 200MPH, people would do 10-20MPH above it.”
No, I’m saying people will ALWAYS drive at the maximum speed they feel safe and most limits are set WAY below what the average person is confortable with. Most people don’t speed to spite the government’s stupid arbitary limit. They speed because the limits are unnatural and way too low for the given roads
