The whole speed limit thing has degenerated into a money making scheme. It's not about safety anymore, that's bs.
You get fined by the city popos for stupid **** like 10 and 15 over(seriously!?), then when they're done with you, the insurance companies take over.
When I get a ticket nowadays for something silly like 10-15-18 over, it drives me mad.

How many tickets have you gotten?

A plausible explanation is that the cops are making their year end numbers. Drivers slow down when the snow hits and everyone forgets how to drive; hence fewer speeders.

Speed traps and the quotas are disgusting, but apparently you people vote for it.

Just who is "you people"?
 
I'm pretty sure that a ticket of 18 over isn't silly especially if you're in a school zone meaning you're flying at almost 60. I think speeding violations in school zones shouldn't be up for 'fighting' or reduction. This would make people think twice.
 
I believe tickets should be based on % over the limit. 50 over on the highway isn't anywhere near as dangerous as 50 over in a 40 zone.

So instead of makin laws to protect people we should just indirectly encourage accidents to teach people a lesson. That doesn't sound stupid at all!

Indirectly encourage? Like what, if we don't make a law we are responsible for what happens? I suppose the nanny state is fine if you get to be the nanny.

I think we should let more accidents happen, and clear them quickly to get them out of the way of everyone else who was driving responsibly. People will smarten up pretty fast once we treat everyone involved as stupid, and not victims of some "tragedy." Thanks to over-enforcement of useless traffic laws people on the roads, in cars or not, have become so coddled that it's like we're under siege from an invasive species with no natural predators.

People will drive better if we teach them that if they get hit, it's their own damn fault.

You're right, I sure learned my lesson when the guy who hit me illegally changed lanes. That sure taught me and is still teaching me to this day.......

If you ever go into politics, you have my vote. All that dang-fangled common sense you're using all the time, starting to stick.

Speed traps or lower speed limits wouldn't have saved you. Since no man wants pity, I will still say that you probably don't bet your life on other people following traffic laws anymore either.

Getting hit in an illegal lane change means either being in the drivers blind spot or going too fast to react to sudden movements from other lanes. That totally blows that you got injured though.

I'm arguing more along the lines of I prefer to have laws in general (not just speed limits) as opposed to a free for all where people learn their lesson with consequences. Thing is, when other people break the law sometimes people who didn't end up paying the price.

And my accident allthough not my fault, could've been avoided if I were driving a bit more defensive. I've since then adjusted my riding style for crowded city roads.

Yeah. It was me and my two buds that got pulled over.
We spary bombed our bikes flat black so that we could stunt and make a clean get away.
We were wheeling down the DVP when they set up a rolling road block.
We could not get around them and then a block came up behind us.
We had no choice but to pull over.
They took our bikes.
Now I have a court date to worry about.

If you were stunting on the DVP then you deserve to be charged. I disagree with the impounding of the bikes until you are proven guilty, but stunting / wheelies on a major highway, given how you confessed to the act, I hope your fine is so massive you think twice about driving that reckless again. Take it to a track or a deserted parking lot.

How many 172's is this Rob seems to happen to you a few times a season.
 
He's trolling. Don't think for a moment that we don't know about it. Move on ...

Problem with these apps is they require manual input. So if you pass a 'trap' you'd have to go on, register the location accurately. I don't think I'd be relying too much on people's info. It should have a 'trap verification' where if more than one user posts it, higher chance of it being legit.

Laws are developed cuz here, common sense isn't used very much and arguing ensues. So to help those that love to argue that it's not their fault, they develop laws that help determine this.

Same deal for road signs quite often. They're there cuz some ppl don't have common sense enough to know better.

Do you really need signs around a 2 story football field sized building to tell you there's a school zone there and maybe one should reduce speed cuz kids are around? Personally I dont' need em, but there's someone out there that'll argue that they weren't "IN" the range of the school...so they put up a sign to tel them where they're in the right, and where they're in the wrong.

It's our own fault for arguing and making the need for more laws and more accurate wording as well.

We're doing it to ourselves.
 
Personally I don't really get school zones. I knew by the age of 5 that if you walk in front of a car you will die. Never had a problem. Lived and played on an 80 kph road all the time. Just got out of the way when we heard a car coming.

Common sense is no longer common. Look at pedestrians, "Nah these cars will all stop at the green light for me"
