Funny, but aren't they the same people who are constantly complaining about getting a ticket?

Here's your sign . . .
I've found that my pattern of driving tends to not draw attention.

My sign says "Slower traffic keep right"


What does yours say?

having a good detector (valentine one) is essential if you have a good car loool... all joking aside though i just don't like that cops can just say 'yep, gotcha on radar' and normally there's no way to know if they're just BSing or not. above all else i just see it as a way to prevent injustice from happening to yourself.

and in response to Lil4X, i don't complain about getting a speeding ticket, i just see it as an eventual fee you need to pay if you choose the lifestyle. it's very easy to not get a speeding ticket, just go at the speed that's on the sign. my car is better than that though so i'm gonna continue to safely drive at 83 in a 65. as long as people don't have to brake for you or you don't have to brake to avoid hitting someone, i say you're doing it right.

As much as I love driving and will miss having a sporty car to throw around, this is why I really look forward to autonomous cars... There are a bunch of crappy drivers out there (yes, especially in America), plus, I mean my god, look at how much hate and anger they inspire in threads like these. I feel like when some one does something annoying on the road, the affected people react like they've never made a mistake in their lives. Driving is one thing that it will probably be good to take the human element out of.

EDIT: I completely agree about how ****ed up speeding laws in America are, though... It's up there on the long list of problems with American law enforcement.

i agree, we need way more people in autonomous cars. most people don't even want to have to drive places so i think it'd be great for many people.

With a GS430 I can more than "hang" . But hey if some drivers choose to turn freeways and surface streets into racetracks because they think they have a Formula 1 racing licence with the "racing on public roads endorsement", I guess it's on them lol.
