On my 30 mph street? Don't think so.
Sheesh
What part of safley did you not understand? If your 30 mph street is unsafe at high speeds then speeding would be overdriving the conditions and stupid. It is just that a lot of speed limits are arbitrary and people do drive what ever speed they feel comfortable. It is a shame that neighborhood streets are getting rush hour traffic.
However I have seen neighborhoods that do not have speeders and high traffic. But the old folk don't like anybody driving at a rational speed. It seems that they like 15 mph and feel uncomfortable at higher speeds. The folks ask for a cop to give out tickets. The cops don't find speeders doing 20 over the speed limit so they start ticketing drivers who do 3-5 mph over the speed limit.
I just feel as a free people that are capable of governing ourselves that most drivers drive at a safe and comfortable speeds. Of course that is excluding teenage males just starting. However that stage thankfully they grow out of. However it seems that a lot of people here do not think that Americans are capable to drive rationally and must have arbitrary limits set.
I have gotten quite of bit a flack over this issue. But think do you want to start people spying on other people on traffic laws to turn them in? That is not the type of people I want to live with. No trust and common sense.
I see that that type of thinking leads to a police state. And this is over minor issues like traffic speeds.
And remember we are on Free Republic!!!
