Lets get one of those on I-77
Anything under 77, on 77, and you're slow.Originally Posted by ziggy
Even 77 is questionable. And 85 on 85 is slow, too.
You got it!
I've been going 90 and still been passed like a grandma.
LMAO at these cops talking about dangerous speeds. Speed limits were put in place to make money, nothing more.
Not really. Most speed limits in use today (the standard 65 or 70 on interstates, 55 on highways, 35-45 on other roads, 20 on side streets) were determined back when Eisenhower was building the interstates. The government blindfolded people, put them in the backseat of an average car of the day, and drove them at varying speeds on roads. The speed limit was made off of when most people felt the car was going too fast for the road. Back then, a run-of-the-mill Chevy sedan going 65 would've felt like it was about to fall apart. So a speed limit of 65 was appropriate. Now it's just an excuse to meet the quotas, because the average Chevy could do 80 (and does) with no issue.
Feel free to believe that speed doesn't matter all you want as long as you are keeping a safe distance between you and the next car and paying damn good attention to what you're doing.
SOMEONE will pay for THIS!
This.
