Wow. This thread has more angry comments than a Catholic vs Protestant OR a smoker vs non-smoker thread!

Yeah, all because some guy says he doesn’t speed.
I blame COVID. People are losing their minds.
I think the real problem here is that “I never speed” is a talking troll.
No one can drive for even a half hour and never get over the limit unless he has set his personal limit 5 to 10 MPH under the posted limit.
Cruise control in cars older than those with adaptive braking have a 5 MPH plus and minus spread. In hilly country the vehicle will run 5 over before downshifting or engaging the exhaust brake. They hold a little better going up hill but a 5 MPH loss is ordinary.
If the hills are steep and short, common when near mountains, the cruise control cant’s see ahead as we do so it still is pouring the fuel to the engine as it crests the hill top and that causes it to get well over the 5 MPH spread going down the other side.. A human will let up on the accelerator just and instant earlier resulting in less excessive speed.
But in real life the ordinary non professional driver does not kick the mule soon enough starting up the hill and forgets to back off going down hill and is a pain to be behind.
Even the preacher’s wife speeds occasionally. if not intentionally.
I got my driver’s incense in 1944, made a living traveling the entire eastern US from the Canadian border to the Gulf and I have seen it all.
And anyone who says he never speeds.....
Lol, but true. I should’ve/could’ve responded with a simple question. How much farther do we let fedgov go to redistribute tax dollars?
