I've been stopped (and ticketed) here in Wyoming for doing 78 in a 75. They're relentless out here. I'm originally from the northeast and usually drive faster out there, even though though the speed limit is at least 10mph slower.
The box on the dash board shows the speed of oncoming cars from dash mounted radar, not the speed in front/behind...the editing just makes it look like he was being stopped for 5 over
Did he really get pulled over for 5 over? I live on Long Island (NY), and the speed limit on the highways is 55 mph...everyone goes 70-75, and I never see anyone pulled over..this cop must have had a quota to fill, or New York doesn't care about speeders
@sidehop Exactly. Speeding is speeding people. 56 in a 55, 68 in a 65, 30 in a 25. It comes down to the discretion of the officer. Not saying that should always do exactly the speed limit because people aren't going to. Just be aware that it can happen.
@FSDeputy81 Seems that the law is the problem if the speed limit is 55 due to congestion but its safe to go 80 when there is no congestion, not the drivers. Change the law? Not gonna happen. People knee jerk too much and think slower = safer when its not true.
@sociopathicregret I believe that the posted limit of 55 was originally meant to help with fuel economy decades ago. But cars were a lot different back then. I believe that some people can do 75 and 80 safely. A lot of times the flow of traffic is at least 10-15 over the limit. What it comes down to is the aggressive drivers, which I noticed was stated. While it does seem slow, a higher speed limit would only result in making the bad drivers go even faster. Which then creates a safety problem.
@FSDeputy81 Fortunately they've shown that the vast, vast majority of people will simply go the speed they are comfortable with, and the irresponsible people who don't do that don't care about speed limits anyway.
@sociopathicregret Very true. People can think that 55 is too slow, so they decide to go faster. If traffic is steadily moving along with no delays at say, 75-80 mph, there is still going to be that one or two people who think everybody should be doing 85-90. Then again, those are usually the ones that catch the attention of leos on the interstate. Even a county officer will probably stop somebody for doing that even though it's mainly the focus of state/highway patrol.
@FSDeputy81 I just kind of wish they left people alone who are 'speeding' above a limit that makes no sense when the highway is open, especially. Particularly at night when they often camp out and get people.
There is a cop in Tennessee that pulled a guy over for 58 in a 55. However there were many advisatory signes that were down to 25. I usually dont go over 40 on that highway unless I am having fun on the curves!
The one thing that noone has addressed yet is that that clip of the radar might not be the speed for the vehicle he is stopping but just a clip of some speeds coming up on the radar. I highly agree that stopping for someone for going 3-5 mph over the limit is ridiculous, but im not so sure that that is the case here. I've done a bunch of ride alongs and the min i've seen to get stopped is 12 over, unless they are driving very recklessly for the conditions. Of course this varies between agencies.
The Altoona to Des Moines stretch of I-80 is CRAWLING with cops, especially unmarked Mustangs. During heavy traffic you'll still get up to 85-90 at times. One vehicle traveling 20 MPH slower than the people around it is more of a traffic hazard than one vehicle going 20 MPH faster than everyone else. I don't like to relativistic standards, but when it comes to "speeding", unless you're reckless and endangering other people, the only reason the police pull you over is to make up for budget cuts.
If you are stupid enough to pull someone over for doing 2 or 3mph over the speed limit.....especially when radar has a margin of error....You don't need to be a cop....and legalistic people that say you have to be doing 70mph on the dot.....I would bet money if someone followed you for 1 year you would "break" the law multiple times not doing the EXACT speed limit....people need to get a grip of reality.
@MambaTamba Yes, my sexual orientation has anything to do with you being a rather immature legalistic kid. Sitting behind a computer talking profane as if it proves what? Your ability to look tough behind a screen? The hilarious part is that i'm not in anyway homosexual....but leave it to someone that can't look at the screen name. Obviously you can't put two and two together to see that was a rather pointless attempt at insulting me....grow up kid.
@bedlaminbelgiumroxzz No, YOU don't know shit. You're just spouting the reactionary bullshit you were socially conditioned to believe. Europe has higher speed limits than here and less casualties in many places.
@sociopathicregret LOL...yeah I do know and I am not reacting to any bullshit. I have seen bad accidents caused by speeding. I am not socially conditioned either. I think for myself. Run along now and read a book or something. Thanks!
@bedlaminbelgiumroxzz Yes you are. I believed 'speeding' was evil when I was younger too but its nothing but bullshit. Speed is a factor in accidents because it makes the crash worse, or because when someone is inattentive or drunk and going faster theyre more likely to crash, or if someone takes a turn too fast. Exceeding the limit in a good car (especially where the limit is too low) while alert is fine. People like that don't cause crashes.
@sociopathicregret The reason speed limits are posted on highways is based on statistics. 55 or 65 are the safest speed limits to travel and less likely to have an accident. Driving fast because you are alert does not lessen the chances of an accident. Maybe the other driver isn't alert and at the high rate of speed, less time for either of you to react. Once again, speed limits save lifes. Slow the fuck down. .
@bedlaminbelgiumroxzz Er, no. Once again, European highways are often more constricted than ours and have speed limits of 75 or 80 with better safety rates. Driving fast and being alert while signaling and keeping an appropriate distance does make you unlikely to crash. Driving the speed limit when its under the flow of traffic makes you statistically MUCH more likely to have an accident. If traffic is going 75 in a 55, its safer to go 70 than 55.
@bedlaminbelgiumroxzz Your post is really silly because all it suggests is that we reduce all speed limits to 0 mph or 15 mph or something, because it gives more 'reaction' time. If you are going faster, you are supposed to keep a greater following distance in order to give yourself more reaction time. Hazards do not just pop up out of the highway like a gopher; if you observe and keep a safe distance from the car in front of you (which is greater at higher speed), you are driving safely.
@bedlaminbelgiumroxzz And no, the speed limits are NOT based on statistics. Traffic engineers recommend an 85th percentile speed limit on roadways, not an arbitrarily low limit. This is 70-90 mph on many urban highways currently posted at 65. You conveniently ignored my Europe example and the fact that the German Autobahn with no speed limits on half and only temporary speed limits on much of the rest is one of the safest highways on the world, even WITH bad foreign drivers on it.
@bedlaminbelgiumroxzz If you were telling the truth, the German Autobahn would be one of the most dangerous highway networks in the world. Also, western highways are often inferior to eastern ones, yet are posted at 75. Two lanes each way, no guardrail, often no concrete divider in the middle. Yes, they are in the middle of nowhere. How is this any different however from driving 75 on a walled highway in the east (low traffic at night)? Might want to check out the national motorists association
@sociopathicregret SOOOO if you can travel at 75 on a 4 lane highway with no guardrails/etc of inferior quality, you should be fine to travel 90 on a walled 6 or 8 lane highway with guardrails, walls, and high dividers! You're just repeating the stuff that is commonly taught to us as kids, which is untrue. Speed limits are often arbitrarily set; on one 45 mph zone, the road may be narrow and semi-rural and a reasonable speed, on another it may be an underposted urban expressway.
@sociopathicregret The reason speed limits are finite and not dependent on motor vehicle quality and whatnot is because when people speed an exorbitant amount, even while in a car designed to operate safely at such speeds, they are driving aggressively and affect other drivers. I never pull people over for simple speeding (it's not part of my job, anyways) but aggressive drivers that are going significantly faster than other traffic and weaving between lanes cause slowdowns and accidents.
@OfficerNelson Good. I used to speed like shit on open highways but I never weaved or tailgated people. Always used my signal, kept a good following distance, and if there was traffic I drove slower. I think we should collectively just leave people alone who simply drive 90 in a straight line, but go after more tailgaters.
@OfficerNelson And yes they do, plus those chumps who won't let people in when lanes close and cause a construction traffic jam (and the guys who merge last minute)
i have one thing to say that cop should not have his arm on the window like that because if that car takes off on him then he will go a couple feet with the car and get hurt
and as for moving or shooting anyone,which may be other peoples solution,I'll stay here and fight like real americans have done in the past and present.
govt.makes the laws that take away our rights,unless you been living under a rock or watching fox news,and cops inforce these laws,Trooper doug should know this,so cops take away our rights,oh wait there just following orders
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
cops are unamerican they inforce the taking away of our constitution,bill of rights,its the dummied down of our younger generation otherwise who in the right mind would want to uphold that.
Then your solution is to move to Venezuela or Cuba or even North Korea. They don't take anyones rights away. They are nice people. Or solution number two - get an AK47 and shoot all the cops you see. Do a massacre....after all, America is not decent anymore....most people loved it when they shot the Oakland officers. They thought the shooter was a hero! Go for it if you have a pair!
Where did you see him on the left side of the vehicle? Facing from the front of the vehicle? He used proper technique..staying out of line of traffic.
Pointless worthless cops that do nothing but hand out bullshit tickets all day!!
Nothing but parasites of society,
when they start responding to legitimate emergencies and stop bothering random innocent people who are technically breaking ridiculous laws, ill have respect for them
,respect is earned, not given, if you automatically love the police unquestioningly, you are an ignorant sheep!!
You call the police the parasites? Yes you criminals are the ones who make it suck. You abuse drugs, ruins peoples live and kill the innocent sometimes, yet the people who protect us all you call parasites. He even ran over to help the guy even though he just broke the law. You, are the parasite.
Ok first of all yes some cops are jerks. But you realize it's not there job to stop crimes it's their job to investigate them. So all those emergencies they respond to they do it out of love for their job not because they have to. :-) show some respect I'm not a fan of cops either but I still show my respect.
LOL same here. Sad thing is it says 55 but most police would prefer you do faster because it would cause accidents with the way traffic drives out there. Plus they got much more important things to look for then speeding that and I'll give a medal to any cop that can merge on to the road safely and manage to find the car that he some how managed to clock the speed of. LOL
@grandewavos Yea its so stupid to pull people over for speeding, when people get killed everyday on the "open highways." Yea what a waste of paper... You people are idiots
@ChrisC418 that is because people don't pay attention and are careless, not because they are speeding. I did 100 on a 65 for 4 hours and didn't come close to any kind of wreck because i was careful about what i was doing and what other drivers where doing. but for the record, i still don't encourage speeding.
Speeding is speeding you know. They can pull you over for 2 miles an hour over if they feel like it. The speed LIMIT sign isn't a suggestion.@RobynHood777
@Iakona1980 They could, but it doesn't make sense to do it. I go about 68 in a 60 on highway 50 in Nevada. Cops don't even have the thought to stop me.
@ccubsfan94 Most cops wont pull you over for going 5 over. This cop must be making a point for the video and i doubt he gave that person a ticket unless he was being an ass. Speedometers vary and so do radar guns and all rely on proper calibration. Never admit to speeding if you know you are no more than five mph over.
I think new drivers should also be experienced to a skidding vehicle and learn how to handle it properly. Given that so many crash, it'd seem sensible. 10 hours for the class not the test, 10 hours for a test would be crazy but the test today is a joke.
I'd say the only excuse for speeding you need is that you feel safe and comfortable. But going with the flow of traffic or passing also is an excuse because passing more quickly is safer and helps traffic flow. Going slower than traffic is probably more dangerous than going faster because people tailgate constantly and are at risk of causing pile ups
You need to target the behavior that is the problem. If you do not, people do not get the message. If you pull people specifically for tailgating and aggressive driving they will get the message a lot more. Furthermore people will appreciate your efforts because those who are speeding and not causing harm won't feel violated plus they will feel happy that tailgaters are off the roads. Also penalties for tailgating/reckless are insane which helps.
education can only go so far, not everyone cares about being educated as you can probably see. A ticket usually wakes people up and is education in itself.
I dont think it does. Most people who really are reckless can afford it anyway. Driver education if it's done realistically and comprehensively will help, but so will a harder driving test.
Just more real world driving, test should be more comprehensive and not just involve some small course (take it on the highway), maybe some more driving simulators. At least ten hours. I'll admit I wasn't totally ready after passing my test and given that I'm a more responsible driver than most it scares me to think of how other people my age drove.
spurs this. All I advocate is realistic and fair traffic laws that genuinely help peoples' safety and do not punish those who are simply passing or travelling at a high rate of speed. They would however take a lot more effort to enforce because stopping people for speeding is so much easier than other offenses. All speeding tickets require is radar for the most part.
Again, the things I have mentioned are not nearly as enforced as speed limits. I have been tailgated at under the limit, passed cops who were looking for speeders at a slow speed and had them do nothing. I've seen people go slow in traffic cause a cop is there but tailgate and the cop does nothing.
I'm a responsible driver. I'm usually slower than most cars on the road in the rain and snow. People don't know how to drive and unrealistic regulations without common sense driving education
Just because two things are related does not mean that one comes from an other;
Assholes who drive like assholes and speed do so not because speeding leads to asshole driving, they speed because it's a part of their impatient lifestyle
Well impatient people should come to terms with that. Impatient people leads to speeding which can lead to other things. Many correlations can be made as a result of speeders. You are kind of proving your own points by proving mine.
I believe our points are different. Mine is that speeding does not necessarily lead directly to other offenses and that such offenses are separate. If you are going fast and committing other offenses you should get a worse fine though. But not just for going fast.
well yes that is accurate, my point, which again is not opinion but fact, is that most of the more serious offenses result from speeding. Not all speeders committ more serious offenses but the point is nipping it in the bud. You should still obey traffic laws, being impatient is no escuse no is any other excuse for speeding.
How do these offenses RESULT from speeding? Like I said, people who drive aggressively tend to speed because it is part of their style of driving, not because the speed causes their aggressive driving. Nipping it in the butt means better driver education and enforcement against those who do dangerous things. Pulling over everyone who goes x amount over a number is unfair because not everyone is irresponsible, you violate peoples rights with blanket enforcement.
you say you want laws enforced fairly but then backpedal....officers enforce laws as fairly and justly as they can, it has nothing to do with blanket enforcement.
Well just pulling people over for speeding is pretty blanket enforcement, because speed isn't necessarily dangerous. If someone has plenty of road ahead of them they are fine, but other offenses are objectively dangerous all the time.
Seriously stop using statistics as a rationale for stopping people and start targeting those who have actually done something wrong. Then and only then will people respect traffic laws and the state police.
You assume that I use statistics in decision-making? LOL that's ridiculous. Maybe you had a bad run-in with a trooper, I don't know. You sound like a very pissed off person.
You seem to be doing it now when you say that stopping people for speeding leads to a reduction in other aggressive driving because you say that speeding causes other violations based on correlation. Correlation =/= causation and I disagree that stopping people for speeding when it isn't the real problem will help. I merely have something intellectually against just stopping people for speed.
No. I am simply stating that there is a correlation. Every stop is different. Like I said, you still have to enforce the laws equally. The reason speeding is a violation is because it has shown to lead to accidents.
If you want to prevent accidents, crack down majorly on aggressive driving behaviors like tailgating, cutting people off, weaving, etc. Many people who 'speed' are just going with traffic but even some of the ones that go faster than traffic are just trying to get from point a to point b. Also crack down on left lane blockers who piss everyone off.
Come on bud let's be real. Again, the things you have mentioned here are clear cut violations of the law and are enforced. But the point is speeding is also a violation of the law. Picking and choosing which laws to enforce doesn't get the message across. You might think you are not hurting anybody by traveling 25 mph but the point is there are many bad drivers out there. The infamous slogan "speed kills" is one that all reasonable people would agree on.
And to be honest, it is your opinion. People who drive BMW's and Merc's more frequently speed than others. Does that mean we should crack down on BMW drivers more because tailgating begins with speeding and speeding begins with driving BMW's? Also, you need to note that tailgating OFTEN has two components: the asshole + the left lane blocker. The offenses I listed are rarely enforced compared to speed limits. Not enforcing stupid laws and enforcing rational ones sends the right message.
Unrealistic limits make people think all traffic laws are a joke. There certainly are many bad drivers out there that commit infractions. I agree that going faster + doing something else that is bad should be a higher fine. But just going fast should not be punishable in any way. Speed does not kill, speed plus moronic driving kills. I think that's something that any reasonable person would agree with. Why cant I drive 90 responsibly if im not tailgating or generally being an asshole driver?
No it doesn't. Going above an arbitrary number does not automatically cause an accident. Tailgating, weaving/improper lane changes, haphazard driving, drunkenness, inattentiveness + speed cause accidents. There's zero evidence that speed is actually the cause of the majority of accidents and it does not even logically make sense.
As a trooper, I can tell you first hand that speeding does in fact dramatically increase the chances of getting into an accident. The other things you mentioned, drunk driving, weaving, etc. increase chances as well. All those things begin with driving over the speed limit. That is why slowing people down is the most important thing because it leads to the other irratic driving that you already mentioned.
No it does not. You are mistakenly grouping things together based on correlation. It's true that on average people who drive faster than the speed of traffic tend to do other stupid things more often, often because people block them off who are trying to obey the speed limit. But many other people drive responsibly at 20-25 mph over. I would do close to 90 on the interstate for awhile but I never tailgated or weaved. I'd give people a little beep to get out of the way from a safe dist and go on.
Driving "25 mph over the limit" and "responsible" can never belong in the same sentence. This isn't a matter of opinion, it's how it is. Speeding is the number one focus for accident prevention. Any violation almost always begins with speeding. Yes keeping up with traffic is important but exceeding the limit too much is irresponsible.
Why? People do 100+ on Germany's highways frequently and again, THEIR DEATH RATES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN OURS. Speeding should not be the number one focus of accident prevention. It is to justify excessive ticketing of motorists for revenue. Stop grouping offenses together and get real. Not everyone who commits other stupid offenses speeds but just because most who do speed doesn't mean all speeders are aggressive drivers. Not tailgating or weaving and going 90 mph is perfectly fine.
dude, you can have your opinions. Bottom line, laws are laws. Don't like them? Call your congressmen. Until laws are changed, you are to follow them. Bottom line.
There used to be a time where cops were your friends and saved your life from criminals...Doing 10mph over the limit couldn't hurt anybody if you are a responsible driver.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Doing 20-30 over the limit couldn't either...I used to do that all the time and I felt safe because I'd never get tailgated, but I'd always have to look out for pigs waiting on the side of the road....after awhile I got tired of looking for them so I slowed down to 5-10 over and guess what? I get tailgated every day. Really made me safer, you fucktarded pig morons....
Well, it depends on the situation, if there are kids all around it wouldn't be smart to go 30 over the limit, but on an empty country highway that is posted at 55, 85 shouldn't be a big deal.
I drive a truck & am 1 of the responsible drivers. I'll set my cruise at 65mph, which is posted speed limit & I watch 8 out of 10 cars pass me & doing 30-40mph faster & quite often. Used to be only in the city areas. But now, it's even on the open interstate too! If you're in that kinda hurry, take a damn plane!
If you people can remember when you were a kid & you were walking or bike riding & a car would pass at 35mph. You could tell if he was going 35 or 40-45 right. Drive down the interstate at 5mph over the speed limit & watch the passing cars & you'll be amazed. 65 zone yer doing 70 & you'll notice they're doing 35-40 faster than you! Speeding huh?
73 in a 70 lol that bull shit peopel go over here its 70 they dont pull you over unless your doing 76 and over the officer says that it would be a waste of time to pull people over for less then 75.
It isnt the high speeds that kill people,its the lack of knowledge people have about driving. Most were taught to drive by their gym teachers,and it doesnt help that speed limits are such that they numb drivers alert times and make it much easier to read the paper or touch up make-up in the rearview mirror.
"Sir are you aware that you were breaking some of the most bogus speed limits on the planet" America is a beautiful country,but fuck the speed limits.
That's a load of shit. They always say that but there's no proof. 'Speed related' doesn't always mean the car that was at fault was speeding, nor does it mean over the speed limit. It's a broad term that the speed kills idiots use to trick the public.
Do you actually have somtehing to back up your allegations, or are you just making a blind statement? What about my comment makes you think I'm retarded, exactly? Like jogga said, it's stupid driving that kills people, so yes, if the world was all good drivers, I would love higher speed limits. Unfortunately, most people behind the wheel are retards, thus requiring the restrictive speed limits...
I've been stopped (and ticketed) here in Wyoming for doing 78 in a 75. They're relentless out here. I'm originally from the northeast and usually drive faster out there, even though though the speed limit is at least 10mph slower.

sociopathicregret 1 year ago
@sociopathicregret The reason speed limits are posted on highways is based on statistics. 55 or 65 are the safest speed limits to travel and less likely to have an accident. Driving fast because you are alert does not lessen the chances of an accident. Maybe the other driver isn't alert and at the high rate of speed, less time for either of you to react. Once again, speed limits save lifes. Slow the fuck down. .
bedlaminbelgiumroxzz 1 year ago
@bedlaminbelgiumroxzz Er, no. Once again, European highways are often more constricted than ours and have speed limits of 75 or 80 with better safety rates. Driving fast and being alert while signaling and keeping an appropriate distance does make you unlikely to crash. Driving the speed limit when its under the flow of traffic makes you statistically MUCH more likely to have an accident. If traffic is going 75 in a 55, its safer to go 70 than 55.
sociopathicregret 1 year ago
@bedlaminbelgiumroxzz Your post is really silly because all it suggests is that we reduce all speed limits to 0 mph or 15 mph or something, because it gives more 'reaction' time. If you are going faster, you are supposed to keep a greater following distance in order to give yourself more reaction time. Hazards do not just pop up out of the highway like a gopher; if you observe and keep a safe distance from the car in front of you (which is greater at higher speed), you are driving safely.
sociopathicregret 1 year ago
@bedlaminbelgiumroxzz And no, the speed limits are NOT based on statistics. Traffic engineers recommend an 85th percentile speed limit on roadways, not an arbitrarily low limit. This is 70-90 mph on many urban highways currently posted at 65. You conveniently ignored my Europe example and the fact that the German Autobahn with no speed limits on half and only temporary speed limits on much of the rest is one of the safest highways on the world, even WITH bad foreign drivers on it.
sociopathicregret 1 year ago
@bedlaminbelgiumroxzz If you were telling the truth, the German Autobahn would be one of the most dangerous highway networks in the world. Also, western highways are often inferior to eastern ones, yet are posted at 75. Two lanes each way, no guardrail, often no concrete divider in the middle. Yes, they are in the middle of nowhere. How is this any different however from driving 75 on a walled highway in the east (low traffic at night)? Might want to check out the national motorists association
sociopathicregret 1 year ago
@sociopathicregret SOOOO if you can travel at 75 on a 4 lane highway with no guardrails/etc of inferior quality, you should be fine to travel 90 on a walled 6 or 8 lane highway with guardrails, walls, and high dividers! You're just repeating the stuff that is commonly taught to us as kids, which is untrue. Speed limits are often arbitrarily set; on one 45 mph zone, the road may be narrow and semi-rural and a reasonable speed, on another it may be an underposted urban expressway.
sociopathicregret 1 year ago
@sociopathicregret The reason speed limits are finite and not dependent on motor vehicle quality and whatnot is because when people speed an exorbitant amount, even while in a car designed to operate safely at such speeds, they are driving aggressively and affect other drivers. I never pull people over for simple speeding (it's not part of my job, anyways) but aggressive drivers that are going significantly faster than other traffic and weaving between lanes cause slowdowns and accidents.
OfficerNelson 1 year ago
@OfficerNelson Good. I used to speed like shit on open highways but I never weaved or tailgated people. Always used my signal, kept a good following distance, and if there was traffic I drove slower. I think we should collectively just leave people alone who simply drive 90 in a straight line, but go after more tailgaters.

@OfficerNelson And yes they do, plus those chumps who won't let people in when lanes close and cause a construction traffic jam (and the guys who merge last minute)

That's ridiculous, according to federal law Speedometers can have a 5% inaccuracy rate. So he could be off by 3.5 mph.
So basically he got pulled over for an excess of two miles per hour. (If his speedometer was in the 5% margin of error)

sociopathicregret 3 years ago
good ideas.
vikingsguy7 3 years ago
I'd say the only excuse for speeding you need is that you feel safe and comfortable. But going with the flow of traffic or passing also is an excuse because passing more quickly is safer and helps traffic flow. Going slower than traffic is probably more dangerous than going faster because people tailgate constantly and are at risk of causing pile ups
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
driving fast and driving too slow are both problems.

MJND1990 3 years ago
You need to target the behavior that is the problem. If you do not, people do not get the message. If you pull people specifically for tailgating and aggressive driving they will get the message a lot more. Furthermore people will appreciate your efforts because those who are speeding and not causing harm won't feel violated plus they will feel happy that tailgaters are off the roads. Also penalties for tailgating/reckless are insane which helps.
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
education can only go so far, not everyone cares about being educated as you can probably see. A ticket usually wakes people up and is education in itself.

I dont think it does. Most people who really are reckless can afford it anyway. Driver education if it's done realistically and comprehensively will help, but so will a harder driving test.
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
what are some suggestions of making the test harder?
vikingsguy7 3 years ago
Just more real world driving, test should be more comprehensive and not just involve some small course (take it on the highway), maybe some more driving simulators. At least ten hours. I'll admit I wasn't totally ready after passing my test and given that I'm a more responsible driver than most it scares me to think of how other people my age drove.
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
spurs this. All I advocate is realistic and fair traffic laws that genuinely help peoples' safety and do not punish those who are simply passing or travelling at a high rate of speed. They would however take a lot more effort to enforce because stopping people for speeding is so much easier than other offenses. All speeding tickets require is radar for the most part.
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
Again, the things I have mentioned are not nearly as enforced as speed limits. I have been tailgated at under the limit, passed cops who were looking for speeders at a slow speed and had them do nothing. I've seen people go slow in traffic cause a cop is there but tailgate and the cop does nothing.
I'm a responsible driver. I'm usually slower than most cars on the road in the rain and snow. People don't know how to drive and unrealistic regulations without common sense driving education
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
Just because two things are related does not mean that one comes from an other;
Assholes who drive like assholes and speed do so not because speeding leads to asshole driving, they speed because it's a part of their impatient lifestyle
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
Well impatient people should come to terms with that. Impatient people leads to speeding which can lead to other things. Many correlations can be made as a result of speeders. You are kind of proving your own points by proving mine.
vikingsguy7 3 years ago
I believe our points are different. Mine is that speeding does not necessarily lead directly to other offenses and that such offenses are separate. If you are going fast and committing other offenses you should get a worse fine though. But not just for going fast.
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
well yes that is accurate, my point, which again is not opinion but fact, is that most of the more serious offenses result from speeding. Not all speeders committ more serious offenses but the point is nipping it in the bud. You should still obey traffic laws, being impatient is no escuse no is any other excuse for speeding.
vikingsguy7 3 years ago
* no excuse nor is any other excuse for speeding.
vikingsguy7 3 years ago
How do these offenses RESULT from speeding? Like I said, people who drive aggressively tend to speed because it is part of their style of driving, not because the speed causes their aggressive driving. Nipping it in the butt means better driver education and enforcement against those who do dangerous things. Pulling over everyone who goes x amount over a number is unfair because not everyone is irresponsible, you violate peoples rights with blanket enforcement.
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
you say you want laws enforced fairly but then backpedal....officers enforce laws as fairly and justly as they can, it has nothing to do with blanket enforcement.
vikingsguy7 3 years ago
Well just pulling people over for speeding is pretty blanket enforcement, because speed isn't necessarily dangerous. If someone has plenty of road ahead of them they are fine, but other offenses are objectively dangerous all the time.
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
Seriously stop using statistics as a rationale for stopping people and start targeting those who have actually done something wrong. Then and only then will people respect traffic laws and the state police.
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
You assume that I use statistics in decision-making? LOL that's ridiculous. Maybe you had a bad run-in with a trooper, I don't know. You sound like a very pissed off person.
vikingsguy7 3 years ago
You seem to be doing it now when you say that stopping people for speeding leads to a reduction in other aggressive driving because you say that speeding causes other violations based on correlation. Correlation =/= causation and I disagree that stopping people for speeding when it isn't the real problem will help. I merely have something intellectually against just stopping people for speed.
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
No. I am simply stating that there is a correlation. Every stop is different. Like I said, you still have to enforce the laws equally. The reason speeding is a violation is because it has shown to lead to accidents.
vikingsguy7 3 years ago
Just exceeding the limit has not been shown to lead to accidens. You can't really draw any meaningful conclusions from a mere correlation.
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
If you want to prevent accidents, crack down majorly on aggressive driving behaviors like tailgating, cutting people off, weaving, etc. Many people who 'speed' are just going with traffic but even some of the ones that go faster than traffic are just trying to get from point a to point b. Also crack down on left lane blockers who piss everyone off.
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
Come on bud let's be real. Again, the things you have mentioned here are clear cut violations of the law and are enforced. But the point is speeding is also a violation of the law. Picking and choosing which laws to enforce doesn't get the message across. You might think you are not hurting anybody by traveling 25 mph but the point is there are many bad drivers out there. The infamous slogan "speed kills" is one that all reasonable people would agree on.
vikingsguy7 3 years ago
And to be honest, it is your opinion. People who drive BMW's and Merc's more frequently speed than others. Does that mean we should crack down on BMW drivers more because tailgating begins with speeding and speeding begins with driving BMW's? Also, you need to note that tailgating OFTEN has two components: the asshole + the left lane blocker. The offenses I listed are rarely enforced compared to speed limits. Not enforcing stupid laws and enforcing rational ones sends the right message.
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
Unrealistic limits make people think all traffic laws are a joke. There certainly are many bad drivers out there that commit infractions. I agree that going faster + doing something else that is bad should be a higher fine. But just going fast should not be punishable in any way. Speed does not kill, speed plus moronic driving kills. I think that's something that any reasonable person would agree with. Why cant I drive 90 responsibly if im not tailgating or generally being an asshole driver?

vikingsguy7 3 years ago
No it doesn't. Going above an arbitrary number does not automatically cause an accident. Tailgating, weaving/improper lane changes, haphazard driving, drunkenness, inattentiveness + speed cause accidents. There's zero evidence that speed is actually the cause of the majority of accidents and it does not even logically make sense.
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
As a trooper, I can tell you first hand that speeding does in fact dramatically increase the chances of getting into an accident. The other things you mentioned, drunk driving, weaving, etc. increase chances as well. All those things begin with driving over the speed limit. That is why slowing people down is the most important thing because it leads to the other irratic driving that you already mentioned.
vikingsguy7 3 years ago
No it does not. You are mistakenly grouping things together based on correlation. It's true that on average people who drive faster than the speed of traffic tend to do other stupid things more often, often because people block them off who are trying to obey the speed limit. But many other people drive responsibly at 20-25 mph over. I would do close to 90 on the interstate for awhile but I never tailgated or weaved. I'd give people a little beep to get out of the way from a safe dist and go on.
sociopathicregret 3 years ago
Driving "25 mph over the limit" and "responsible" can never belong in the same sentence. This isn't a matter of opinion, it's how it is. Speeding is the number one focus for accident prevention. Any violation almost always begins with speeding. Yes keeping up with traffic is important but exceeding the limit too much is irresponsible.
vikingsguy7 3 years ago
Why? People do 100+ on Germany's highways frequently and again, THEIR DEATH RATES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN OURS. Speeding should not be the number one focus of accident prevention. It is to justify excessive ticketing of motorists for revenue. Stop grouping offenses together and get real. Not everyone who commits other stupid offenses speeds but just because most who do speed doesn't mean all speeders are aggressive drivers. Not tailgating or weaving and going 90 mph is perfectly fine.
