Data point: This AM, doing 55mph (speed limit) with the cruise on, guy comes up behind me in a minivan and starts flashing his lights at me.

Interesting because I was on Washington D.C.'s infamous Beltway at the time in the slow lane, this guy had three other lanes to choose from!

 

Lower speed limits where enacted in the 1970's to cut our dependence on foreign oil. Do research on it if you don't believe me.

 

Try living in Ohio, the Police can give you a ticket because they THINK you are going over the speed limit. They don't need any radar or any evidence to prove that you were going over the limit.

Officer Estimates Enough For Speeding Convictions

By: Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio's highest court has ruled that a person may be convicted of speeding purely if it looked to a police officer that the motorist was going too fast.

The Ohio Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that an officer's visual estimation of speed is enough to support a conviction if the officer is trained, certified by a training academy, and experienced in watching for speeders.

The court's 5-1 decision says independent verification of a driver's speed is not necessary.

The court upheld a lower court's ruling against a driver who challenged a speeding conviction that had been based on testimony from police officer in Copley, 25 miles south of Cleveland. The officer said it appeared to him that the man was driving too fast.

Id rather just go to Germany where there arn't speed limits

 

With that mentality and the rate they are eroding away our consutiuon and civil rights, we will be another country soon. Grab your ankles@@

 

Had some Jbag ina 5 series throwing shit out his sunroof at me one day, he actually cut me off really hard then started it up. I took down his license plate and followed him home, and then later that night I slit his tires, sugar'd his gas tank and left a fat brick in his window. Not smart to provoke people like me, I almost always retaliate and carry heat. But in my defense I wasnt tailgating the dude, was in the slow lane doing exactly the speed limit and had been... so who knows what his deal was, but im sure he will think twice before trying to be an idiot.
