I have no problem with people appealing for higher speed limits in certain cases. Go to town. Let the engineers decide.
But there will always be people that will feel they can go significantly faster (or slower) than others, thus the higher likelihood of collisions (not accidents, BTW).
And on another note on my week, I would like to catch up to the idiot that almost caused a masive pileup on Bow Tr at Sarcee when he came absolutely flying down behind me, passing on my right (where I was signalling to go.) He damn near took out the truck/trailer that was coming left into my lane (behind me) AND me. There couldn't have been 20 feet between the truck/trailer and myself (both changing lanes and doing the speed limit) yet this @$$hat going about 30 faster than both of us didn't care. Again ran off like a chickenshyte jackrabbit.
If I didn't BARELY catch him in the corner of one of my mirrors at the last second.... |
You keep talking about dangerous rates of speed. You're the only one having that conversation. We are talking about increasing speed limits where they are too low; not speeding. That's what the video was about and that's what this thread is about.
Again, did you watch the video? There is a definite frame of reference for this discussion to which you seem oblivious.
