Should speed limits exist in the United States? - Page 2 - GoFuckYourself.com

Speed limits are here to stay because speeding tickets bring in a shit load of revenue to cities & towns every day. Without this revenue, a lot of cities & towns would be in deep shit.

For over 10 years I've waited to say this.

Rofl. Any argument this person intended to win was instantly lost. Unless his name Schumaker or Andretti - he (or she) certainly can not.

Another suburban asshole thinking he can drive 120+ mph because he owns an import.

Speed limits are absolutely necessary.

I'm glad you're amused by the fact that I own an import. I think you're the only one, however. Ever done any research on where your Whateverthefuck comes from?

Go back and read the articles I posted. Read my argument. Read the issue.

And then think.

And then respond.

You will then understand this is not for my personal amusement.

A RUF at night on the autobahn with a camera man wedged in the back topping out at over 200mph at night.

speed limits = fags and pussies.

marlboroack · 08-24-2011, 09:14 PM

I think it should be more like Philippines where everyone drives all over the fucking place.

What do you suggest to suppliment the income provided by speeding tickets? The money has to come from somewhere.

i have a friend who is test driver for RUF - it's his job to do Vmax tests at night. And yes, that can be also more than 200 mp/h

it's him behind the wheel here in the new RT 12 r - which does 230 mp/h

Give the slowpokes tickets for hogging the passing lane instead. They're easier to catch and there's more of them.

And then there's those ass wipes who never use turn signals.

Think outside the box.

Given the stats posted by the OP, I gotta figure that there's a lot of folks named Schumaker and Andretti in both Germany and Montana.

The biggest problem with the US is we have too many rules. People can't think for themselves and walk around half neutered. We need to set extreme limits and let people fend for themselves.

Less law stricter penalties.

I said that to my girlfriend last night. That was around the time when she called me a Libertarian. Hmmmm...

I agree with that. The fact that there's a fucking court system for speeding tickets, which do not bring in very much directly per ticket...I mean how much money is wasted in that process, especially if the police officer is present, any lawyers are involved, all the admin costs for that crap, etc.

I believe speeding tickets end up making more for INSURANCE COMPANIES than for governments. In general, government needs to look at where it is completely wasting money, and wasting money on legalities involving speeding tickets is certainly one of them. They may get some money from it, but they would do better to just have stricter penalties on laws that aren't completely stupid.

As someone said, natural traffic in Cali, especially going to/from LA, is 75-80 MPH. That means any and all of those drivers are breaking the law and can be pulled over and given a ticket. And they're not driving unsafely...in fact, the fucking DMV says to enter the freeway at the speed of traffic!

It's just ludicrous. Cities need to make more money? Attach more penalties to DUI or whatnot.

Kill the speed limits and let the free market decide who lives and dies.

xenigo · 08-27-2011, 01:14 AM

Ran right into a Lidar speed trap going 100mph tonight heading back into the city.

Clocked me at 90 because of the steep angle from the lane I was in. Wrote me up at 80.

I guess the revenue fills a few pot holes, right?

Any solid strategy on how to fight it?
