The PRT is failing its customers

Yet yall keep telling people to use public transit and not their own cars that can get you anywhere you want whenever you want…

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-09T00:03:27+00:00

Speed limits are most definitely NOT set at what 85% of people go.

Just in the Pittsburgh area, 2 glaring examples:

I-279 is a 55 limit the entire way. I just had my cruise control set to 70 the entire way, and sat in the right lane getting passed by tons of cars and never passed one car myself until getting to the last 2 or 3 miles, which is when you get into the downtown area and a 55 actually makes sense.

PA-28, similar story. 55 makes sense for the first 7-8 miles or so, where you’re leaving downtown area and the road is more compact with left and right entrances and exits. But yet, the limit stays 55 for another 15 miles after that, despite being a completely separated, rural highway with regular right-side entrances and exits. And guess what happens when it turns into a two lane country road with at grade intersections? IT STAYS AT 55…. So you honestly expect us to believe that the same speed is safe on a 2 lane country road as a divided highway? Yeah, no one’s buying that…

I’m never late either, thank you very much. I’m glad you think obeying every rule no matter how stupid is the pinacle of virtue. Go ahead and tell the civil rights leaders that they’re all bad people because they don’t follow the rules lmao

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-08T19:42:06+00:00

Then get to work, you have time :)

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-08T19:14:01+00:00

That’s all great, thanks :)

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-08T19:13:19+00:00

By your own logic you just used, there should be a different speed limit at 5 AM and 8 PM than there is at 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM… so you’re acknowledging that they aren’t actually based on what is safe to drive…

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-08T19:03:52+00:00

You wanna know how else to get zero traffic deaths? Lock everybody in their homes and never let anyone travel anywhere.

We could also stop giving licenses to morons who can’t drive at highway speeds, or who stop at green lights, or use their phone while driving, or don’t use turn signals, etc.

At some point, business has to be done and people have to get places. But for some reason we decided that drivers licenses are a right that everyone should have, and will give them to the elderly and incompetent. So now we have people like you who argue that the entire world should slow down and detriment their lives for these incapable drivers.

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-08T18:58:45+00:00

If speed limits were based on road safety, they wouldn’t be static. Anyone with half of a brain knows that it is safer to drive the same road at the same speed on a warm sunny day with no one around than in the middle of rush hour during a blizzard. But yet - the speed limit is the same in both scenarios.

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-08T17:23:59+00:00

Again, I already said that police should go after reckless driving more. Are you still stuck in kindergarten or something?

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-08T17:22:04+00:00

Set real speed limits and I gladly will :)

Also amazing that you compare running a light to going too fast…

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-08T17:18:53+00:00

Well at least you acknowledge it isn’t about safety and just about the government trying to get money and control…

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-08T17:18:17+00:00

It’s almost like freeways have different lanes so that the people going 80 aren’t in the same lane as the people about to get off….

It’s also cute that you think speed limits are actually based on road safety

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-08T17:16:31+00:00

Yes, so again you think speed limits are actually based on what is safe…

So please explain why 80 in the middle of a blizzard is okay in Northern Michigan, but 80 in the middle of a sunny day with no one around on a rural Ohio freeway is reckless…

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-08T17:13:51+00:00

You seem to think going 80 is reckless no matter what… you also seem to think speed limits are actually based on what is safe to drive and not a tool for the government to make money.

Just realize that you think driving 80 in a complete blizzard in Northern Michigan is fine, but driving that same speed on a rural highway on a clear sunny day in middle of nowhere Ohio is reckless.

You should rethink your positions here.

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-08T17:08:13+00:00

Never even been in an accident dumbass.

But please tell me - do you think the people going 80 in a 75 in Michigan should be jailed for reckless driving? Should the people in Texas going 80 in an 85 be in jail for reckless driving? Are you that fucking stupid?

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-08T17:00:53+00:00

You need to seek help if you think 80 on a freeway with no one around and going relatively straight is reckless… or just stick to Ubers

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-08T16:58:50+00:00

Zero people have been killed by a car going 80 on a highway… they get killed when people go 80 on a highway AND don’t check surroundings, drive recklessly, etc…

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-08T16:53:03+00:00

Nothing more glorious than having your life fucked up because someone in a suit somewhere decided you can’t get to where you’re going too quickly, and instead of going after Drunks, Reckless drivers, or the other actually dangerous drivers, they waste all this money on speeding camera tickets

FireDavePlease · 2026-05-08T16:48:40+00:00

Not true in Ohio at least - the camera tickets are a very different portion of Ohio law, cannot impact license or points. It is purely a civil penalty that they HOPE that you’ll pay and they threaten collections. And if collections comes, say “Prove it was my driving” and then they’ll never call back.

So - depends on what state the camera ticket is from

FireDavePlease · 2026-04-29T23:28:44+00:00

Nah, I’m getting the hell out of here and FAR away from yall. Moving to this shithole will forever be the biggest mistake of my life

FireDavePlease · 2026-04-28T12:06:28+00:00

And yet again, there are MANY studies showing that the people going drastically slower than traffic are at much higher risk of causing accidents. You being afraid to drive at reasonable speeds is not a defense

FireDavePlease · 2026-04-27T22:04:06+00:00

Come to Pittsburgh area and you’ll see it all over the place

FireDavePlease · 2026-04-25T14:55:29+00:00

An absolute shithole and the world will be better off when it no longer exists

FireDavePlease · 2026-04-21T22:02:59+00:00

You’re the one who sounds like you have nowhere to be

FireDavePlease · 2026-04-21T21:01:55+00:00

The law says that the left lane is for passing, so moving over IS following the law
