    This comment section is a very good case study in why better public transportation is absolutely necessary: a lot of you should not ever drive.

        The engineers only make the designed safe speed. Government officials make the listed limit. It used to be EXTREMELY popular for government official to knock 20-25% off the design limit of the road, ironically so they can tell everyone how safe they were.

    You know, I get it, they’re probably just an asshole. Maybe they’re having an emergency, though. How about just letting them get around in case there is a good reason for driving recklessly? Or maybe just in case they’re nuts enough to make things violent?

      I mean, the text say the guy honked for going “70 in a 50”.

      If you take it at face value, the person posting is the asshole and a terrible driver endangering everybody on the road.

    Love reading threads about driving cause everyone is very upset for no discernible reason.

      Driving is dangerous, and intentionally making it more dangerous deserves anger

        This is why we should move the horb somewhere and have great big spikes on the steering wheel - the danger should have never been outsourced to others.

        I get, i know it’ll never take off, but the current madness of 2T shockers is indefensible to me

        I’ll do something similar to the OP. If I’m doing 29 in a 25 and you ride my ass, we will now do 24 in a 25. I like to think I’ve improved the safety of the local roadway. I won’t negotiate with terrorists.
