Speaking of cars and transportation....
Does anyone just ignore those speed limit signs or do you really pay attention and follow them? More and more people are getting pulled over just for speeding. Once I'm able to drive, I can't say I'll be the most responsible driver, but hey, no one's perfect! |

Once I get a car...screw the speed limit, I mean, what the cops don't see can't hurt them right?

a typical day of driving for me is usually 30 or 40 over the posted limit. I hate to admit it, but thats what i usually do. If its a 55mph zone , i go 90 if there isnt much traffic. If lots of traffic, 75-80 is fine. Im sorry but i just can not stand people that drive slow , ESPECIALLY in the fast lane.
If the posted limit is 65 or above, watch out i may be doing 95+ Btw if you are going to drive fast like me, you should try ebay for a nice radar detector. I got my Valentine One on there for only $200 when they are around 400 new |

Well it has been proven that higher speeds have the same as speedlimits accident rates... Not sure about survival rates...

^ Well, I guess this relates to that.. 80% of accidents happen going under 40 mph. So it doesn't always have to do with the speed.

I never follow the speed limit. It is really not necessary to follow the speed limit exactly. You can go over a little bit. Or follow the speed of traffic.

You are correct nicole. If you are a good driver, i think you should be allowed to speed. Cops should ticket the peopel that speed but cant handle their car. The people that can go 80mph and arent a accident risk should be allowed to go that fast. But tahts just my opinion of course. I will never cause an accident. If i ever get involved, it will be the other party's fault. I pay 100% attention to the road & speedo when driving, not the radio. |

my average is around 10 ~ 20mph over on 30 ~ 40mph roads. People RARELY stay on the speed limit nowadays, you gotta keep up.

You know, if all cars were strapped to rails and guided by computers, the cars would be able to go over 100mph on all roads without any dangers caused by human mistakes.

No not in the neighborhood because polices aren't there. who cares though? I think it's stupid in a way. If you wreck cause u speeding that's your life. I think we should be allowed to go our own speeds but it's our life and vehicle at risk not the police's.

I obey the speed limit because I lost a lot of friends to car accidents so I realize how important car safety is.
I will admit however, there have been a few occasions when I've done 100 in a 25... And 90 on the highway when the speed limit is 65 No traffic, of course. But most of the time, I go the speed limit. It gets me from point A to point B. |

I go with the traffic flow, I mean if the speed limit is 35 miles per hour and the traffic is going 45 im not going to be slower, I just stay around the same speed...

Speed limits are stupid. They're just a way for cops to get money from people who are late for a meeting.

I "try to follow the speed limit" But I mainly go the same speed as the cars arround me. If no ones arround shure go as fast as you want but one car on the road and it's just saffer to drive the speed limit!

well since i obviously cant drive, ill just say that my dad NEVER goes the speed limit. no one in new jersey does. he goes about 85-90 on the parkway...and atleast 15mph over the speed limit wherever he is. you can't even tell because my dad has an acura and it has great suspension so it feels like you're going 40mph. my mom, on the other hand, doesn't go over more than 5-7mph the speed limit.

i wish speed limits went up just a little... i think 20 is TOO SLOW for school zones and neighborhoods.. atleast bump it up to 35..
i dont drive yet but the slowness is killing me. |
