    speed is fun

    Do you speed when you drive? Simple question

    Generally less than 30 for me. Though when the mood takes me a stomp of the loud peddle or a twist of the wrist will send me way over

    Speeding is idiotic, it puts yourself and others at risk.

    I got a bit over, but everyone does around here. Cops won't pull you over unless you're going 10 MPH or more over, so no reason not to go 5 over or whatever.

    Keep beliving the government propaganda whilst they take your money for no reason. Speed can be a contributing factor to the severity of a crash bjt rarely the cause

    It's not government propaganda just because you don't like it.



    If other people make a mistake, like pulling out in front of you if you're speeding it's going to be hell of a lot harder to avoid the crash than if you had been going within the speed limit.

    Wow your a blast. You do now how to drive properly right. How to avoid crashes and recognise from the conditions what is a suitable speed.
    I guess the speed limit is in place for the retards in the world that need the government to spell out everything for them..........

    Got a ticket over the summer for doing 84 in a 65 highway. It was sunny, middle of the day, just got out of traffic, on a two hour drive. Thought it was a 70 area. Officer said "lol you're from New York?" When he saw my license. Immediately got a ticket.

    I always go 5-8 miles over the speed limit. I have never been pulled over in my life, and been driving for seven years. I take road trips frequently.

    What really irks me is people that go five miles under the speed limit. That's normally 10 miles slower then I would go. Can't get around them on the city streets. One of the most irritating things ever.

    simple: never more than 20kph above limit outside of cities, because here in Germany they pull you're license if you are more than 20kph above limit, that's never worth it to me

    Wow, I like how government conspiracies have even reached speed limits. Seriously?

    I have a ticket quota for myself, max 3 per year, or <300€. Right now, I'm driving the speed limit (or slightly over) since I got 2 in december, and it does kinda sting. After a while, especially once traffic allows it (vacations) I'll probably go back to 20-30 over.
    Mind you, this is mostly on highways. For me, safety goes before speed.

    Thats also fun but the two should never be mixed, though I once had a lecturer that told us getting high and blasting trance music whilst driving on the highway was an amazing experience. He got fired shortly after

    I generally add around 5 to the limit when in town and 10 when on the highway.

    If they cared about road safety they would make licenses harder to get, improve training and target distracted driving. Ie: DUI, using phone, unroady worthy heaps etc... instead they target speeding and defect modified vehicles to raise the most amount of money possible.

    How naive thinking its about safety.

    No the speed limit is there so that you have time to stop should little timmy all of sudden cross the road to pick up the ball he kicked.. Imagine going 140-150 km/h, in that scenario you would likely not be able to stop in time and little timmy will be a spot of red paste on the ground.
