Did you see that now... that means when there are no cars, like around the hours of 2 am and 3 am...

Now you have shown earlier you are no driver, and now you have shown you can't read...


Anything else you care to admit to..

If the highway was EMPTY, how did you get a ticket?
You did not SEE there was a cop? That's not possible, is it, because you see everything! Or so your many posts say - you see things before they happen!

The RL was caused by anothers inability to know how to drive and how to enter the inter and where to turn from, my mistake was thinking she'd make the turn before the light would change...


Blame, thats the facts kid

Then you DIDN'T Adapt to what another driver did. This is a 100% contradiction of everything you are saying.

It's ALWAYS someone else's fault. But YOU failed to anticipate that other person making a "mistake" - whether it be a cop, a driver, whatever. You failed.

Again, proper understanding of lanes and proper awareness beat an arbitrary
"55" anytime. European saftey records vs speed limits trump the
"55" argument all day long and no one in the industry refutes it. 55 in the passing lane is DANGEROUS on any 3 lane roadway if the posted travel speed is 55, PERIOD. It is essential to passing to speed up.

But keep that revenue coming. Hope they buy US made cameras at least but I doubt it.

and for the rest:

"If you don't like my driving, stay off the sidewalk!"

OK but what your not taking into account is that since the speed limit was set at 55 to save fuel in that 1974 v8 auto, the manufacturers have now resorted to making the cars with steeper gear ratios so that your more fuel efficient car can feel more peppy from a stop. result is that at 55 your still getting your best fuel economy. I have a 2010 mazda 3 five door, a 2003 mitsubishi galant and a 2003 jeep grand cherokee. the Mazda gets about 30mpg on the highway at 55 and about 22 mpg at 75, the Galant gets about 24 mpg on the hwy at 55 and about 18 mpg at 75 and the Jeep gets an astonishing 23 mpg on the hwy despite being a v8 at 55 and about 16 at 75... the cars are now built from the factory to get optimum fuel efficiency at 55 mph.
the speed limit is 55 in all of the lanes even the passing lane, technically you shouldnt need to pass anyone who is going 55 so your argument is a moot point.
you dont need to speed up to pass someone doing the speed limit because then you are speeding to pass them.
I still think the speed limit should be raised to 65
all arguments that involve "it being ok to break the law" are stupid.
I speed to, I'm not saying that it's ok and its necessary.
if they put up cameras I wont speed anymore.
get over it.

Ok lets try this again, after this if you do not understand i'll meet you at a restaurant with visual aids.

1st car at the light was a girl operating a accura, she had her turn signal on, the light turned green, she entered the inter dragging her ass, i had made the move into the inter as she rolled a mind killing .02 mph, i went to the right so we could all go around, however she kept rolling all the way to the other side of the inter, so if she knew how to drive then the other 7 people behind me would have gotten thru and the cop for whatever his issue was is still beyond me to this day as wth he think he seen, as he was the 2nd car at the light for the southbound lane, why he did what he did is still a mystery let alone his court testimony, and i asked him how does being stuck behind a person who clearly doesn't know how to drive who has me dead stopped blocking the entire box equate to going thru a red light, i asked him how is the front of my vehicle stopped on the other side of the inter make me blow a red light, his answer was because you did, i said officer going thru a red light means it was red before i got to the inter and then entered it anyway, me being stuck behind a dumbass was the reason i was blocked in the box during the green cycle.

Car speed % fatally injured

64 km/h 85%



fyi- 50mph = 80kph

common sense.



30 mph I believe. I was younger and more pliable. So no major breaks, just felt like running into a brick wall at full speed with a blindfold on.

And 10 mph will kill you, you were lucky at 30 mph, stop blaming SPEED for the reason you were hit, you were hit for 1. not listening to your parents and staying out of the street, and 2. the other operator wasn't paying attention..

Didn't matter if it was 10, 30, or 60 mph, i have seen kids killed at way less than 30 mph, seen a kid killed at like .04 mph because you probably also do not follow the rule of NOT BACKING into traffic, you're probably the person pulling into parking spots and your driveway...(back to the 96% clueless operators on L.I.)
More people get hit from that maneuver than someone coming down a side street at 30 or faster... AS is the case in Finland with proof showing there speeds aren't the issue...

May this thread die so the speeders will shut up for once.

It's hopeless that they will either obey the law or have some consideration for the danger they pose to others.

The only DANGERS are you, and people not knowing the rules, not paying attention, and doing stupid things like brake checking people because they aren't smart enough to know to yield to faster traffic REGARDLESS of the posted speed limit...

Those are the dangers to people, not following rules and not paying attention.

also reasons people will drive dangerously slow:

-a big one: Lost and unsure where to go
-under the influence
-having a phone conversation

Don't forget all the asshats having to stop and see what happened on the other side of the road, whether its a accident, or a cop stopping someone or someone stopped changing a flat tire or whatever, but those people are also a hazard, and how many accidents happen right in that area where everyone can't just drive there car...

I seen him sitting there, and we had that discussion , like i said he said he seen it, apparently you didn't like to read the rest and just had to make a comment without seeing you HAVE BEEN answered on this, try reading the entire response and you'll see you're answer.

I still do not signal for no car approaching while i enter a highway, it is pointless, whether he is sitting there or not, besides i do not get on a highway causing the car in the right lane to slow anyway...

Usually in bklyn the people aren't as clueless as out here with where to turn from in the inter, so she kept rolling till she got to the other cross walk and blocked all of us from getting thru during the green cycle, sometimes those idiots get you stuck, had i been in a car i would have went around her before she got to the other side, being in a truck moving a large piece of equipment it wasn't going to happen so i wound up waiting behind this idiot and blocking the inter (like 1980 something before that was a law)... Either way the ticket was wrong and was not right, the testimony in court was even worse, all i did at the scene was ask the cop 2 questions on how he came to going thru a red light, and the cop telling the judge i blatantly went thru a dead red light and almost caused him to crash and then telling the judge i argued with him as well, that's a huge liar, so while i do not agree with camera's i also do not trust the human element for it's discretion and the court system for it's lack of attention to detail...

There is no fail there, how do you see fail, i didn't have an accident, i wasn't part of, cause of, so just stop your


.

Cameras aren't the answer to safety, look i drive with 96% of a dangerous island, no one got me killed, even those that tried, drunk heading right for me in my lane, those falling asleep, didn't kill me, BECAUSE i drive, and pay attention for every detail including asshats jumping the divider and coming on off ramps, and the wrong way and drunk....

So what would a camera do for me, nothing, ain't going to make any of you back into parking spots and your driveways, not going to make you stop putting your signal on and just move in front of me because you had your signal on, not going to make any of you any better drivers...

A camera is a STUPID reason to even think it will make any of you drive better and make the roads safer.... utterly stupid...

What will make roads safer are...

1. a new road test
2. a black fine mesh sheet at 6' tall between opposing traffic lanes...

Those 2 things will even cause less police presence on the road...

cameras making drivers better and roads safer, only a dick would say that out loud

Huh? You spend all that time talking about mileage when the point is the speed limit which you then AGREE should be 65?! That is the point. There should be a SPEED LIMIT and a POSTED TRAVEL SPEED. You have to go faster than travel to pass. EVERYONE should be able to pass. It is part of driving an automobile.

This all comes back to understanding the RULES of driving and how they are MORE IMPORTANT than the arbitrary speed limit...LAW or not.

Clearly by the way speed limits are enforced i.e no ticket until 10 mph OVER the limit, the police understand what many here can't comprehend.

LOL! I think the fact that kayfouroh is still contributing to this thread is a sign of a significant lack of attention at home. I think we figured out exactly what we needed to about you. I'll refrain from advising crude solutions to your problem.

Hey, I need something to do at work.

LIMA..you just don't know how to drive. Plain as the pimple on your face.

Hmm looks like LIMA made the news.
