Conversation: Cop says “Do you know why I stopped you?” Driver responds “Because you’re a class traitor?” Cop is too stunned to speak.

    Because I don’t want too. Without taking the time to dig up resources John Oliver put it best that speed limits were decided on not by science or safety standards but what appears to be random guessing.

    That said I follow rules, 10 over on low traffic interstate and highways, 5 over on low traffic main roads, speed limit everywhere else.

    And pretty sure I read outside of impaired or distracted driving the thing that kills or injures most drivers is trying to make the yellow, not speed.

        On track I’ve been up to 156, but I run out of road in my car and need to break at the end of the straight. 5th, 6th and 7th are all overdrive gears in my car and the intense acceleration transitions to normal car levels over 140mph sadly.

        I am considering selling it and getting a faster one next year.
