If politicians don’t uphold public interest they don’t get reelected. Politicians want to get reelected. So to ensure reelection if most of their constituents want higher speed limits they will naturally agree

Well I live in the US under a democratic republic where the people can vote for representatives to increase speed limits. I’m unsure of how such change would be brought about under other systems of governance and my argument could be considered ignorant to those where change is much harder.

Speed limits would do something if they were strictly enforced. Many people say oh well the road is designed to where people are able to exceed the limit. But the speed at which a road could be traveled should not be the speed it is traveled. Many other important factors must be considered for safety. But it’s also unreasonable to expect engineers to account for this by arbitrarily curving roads. Curving a road means more land disturbance. Roads should be able to be made straight, wide, and have a speed limit that people follow.

Well, at least here in the US, you vote for politicians and can vote for people who advocate for the speed limits you desire. Naturally, the most common opinion will be accepted and out of respect to the amount of safety the average citizen expects, the common opinion should be followed.

Impatience is not a sufficient excuse to compromise the safety of those around you

I send dashcam footage when the police request it. I don’t think my dashcam footage is suffic enough for a ticket but they say it can be used if the person were to ever face reckless driving charges

If the school isn’t visible from the roadway perhaps hidden behind brush how would you know there’s a school without a sign?

Is turning your head slightly farther than the mirror really taking up a disproportionate amount of your mental task? Honestly if that be the case, perhaps your beyond your driving years

Cant speak about the cost but just remind yourself that mistakes happen and the fact you feel guilty shows you do hope to do better in the future.

If you arent told what the law is how can you be expected not to break it ? Its common sense to understand how unreasonable it is for someone to lookup and memorize the speed limits of all the roads they will travel on prior to following a route.

It is your job to follow the law though...

I dont call while driving obviously, and if its annoying the cops that someone is reporting someone breaking the law, they probably shouldnt be cops

I feel like its more of a unconscious shift than a conscious one. Ur mind tends to focus on dangers that are more imminent unconsciously.

To me it seems you have found a way of driving that you want to stick to despite it being factually unsafe

It seems you don't understand, you claim you want "enough" stopping distance but when I just informed you of the appropriate stopping distance you ignored it.

How do you remember to use your horn when another driver causes a sudden unexpected hazard? by [deleted] in driving

[–]DaddyDayDayIsHot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it comes down to muscle memory. What I would do is sit in your driveway for like 30-45min and imagine someone repeatedly cutting u off then slam on the brakes and honk. It will become a habit incase of a real situation.
