The one experience I have in VA, I was driving through on my way to NC for vacation. We took one highway all the way through (can't remember which one) and we passed at least 30-40 state troopers patroling the road pulling everyone over. I set cruise to 65mph (the speed limit) and moved over to the right lane immediately...and I still got pulled over because I forgot to take down my radar detector.
They were definately out to make some money that day... |
At least we don't have speed cameras like the UK, now they have ones that average out your speed over the distance of a few km, so you cant just slow down for the cameras.
|
highways around here are 45mph min and 65 mph max. Cities usually range from 30-35mph on regular roads through residential areas..dirt rads 25 or less and outside municipal limits (not highway) anything from 40 - 55mph.
I havent had a problem with speeding...yet...many close calls but have gotten lucky. Cops around here like to profile which sucks...but i dont drive anything that screams pull me over |
They may have built safer cars, but the operators are as dumb as ever. Whether they are using a signal AS they merge, or sliding into your 2-second zone of space (because obviously thats why Im not on the car in fronts ass - so that you can merge), or running red lights - they have every intent to kill ya.

well think of all the crashes and deaths resulting from racing that are making it onto the news lately |
Racing isn't really a big thing by me anyways, I cant say for the states. But the whole system just really pisses me off because the gov't can call it all for safety and to save lives, but the tax and money issue is still really what it's there for, they can just so get away with calling it safety purposes, which is really what it's for, but it isn't at the same time.

Funny though, street racing has been linked to less then 15 deaths since 1999 here in Ontario, DRUNK driving has killed thousands. Yet RIDE programs are dissapearing, and Fantino wants to go all fucking cowboy and buy helicopters. The truth is its this years "shark attacks"... or "killer bee's" issue... nothing more. Ill try and find the link for ya man. |

Build a couple drag strips here in the GTA (since we have none), and BOOM problem basicly solved. |
