What is pol's opinion on highway speed limit laws?
In germany, there is no speed limit and they have a fatality rate of 3.7 per 100,000 people. In australia it's only 110 km/h and they have a higher fatality rate at 4.7 per 100,000.
Is it just another way to collect revenue for the government?
>What is pol's opinion on highway speed limit laws? Really dumb, people don't follow them anyways. Really good way to collect revenue since commuters will inevitably get a ticket at some point.

I believe he’s referring to the autobahn specifically.
Justin Jenkins
If you are against a speed limit you have no idea how cars or roads work.
Jacob Flores
>In germany, there is no speed limit The fuck are you on? Even the majority of the Autobahn has speed limits.
Xavier Hughes
Ok cuck. Whatever you say.
Nathan Taylor
t. absolute retard that would have died 30 times over if ABS didn't exist
Matthew Smith
>In germany, there is no speed limit only in sections of the autobahn is there no limit. interstate limits in most open areas are bullshit crutches due to retards and poor driver education tho; STAY RIGHT UNLESS PASSING YOU CUNTS
>t. I know some basic physics so I go around pretending to be smart and sheit because I’ve heard so, so I can feel important and intelligent Go back to Plebbit you genetic failure. I do know the consequences of high speed, and I bare those consequences if anything is going to happen.
Jason Cruz
HAHAHHA! OH MY KEK! WHAT IS THAT!? WHAT ISSS THAT, user!?! AAAAAA!!!!!
>lol let me kill other people on the highway fuck you nigger, if you want to be free then go to a racing track and drive by yourself with your shitbox
John Gomez
Look up german channel autotopnl. The test supercar speeds on german highways
Nathaniel Peterson
70% of it has no speed limit
Easton Reyes
I think the German example has more to do with extremely stringent drivers ed where you are practically a certified mechanic by the end of it (and 2k + hundreds of hours lighter) and car culture is such that the gearheads/speeders tend to be autistically good drivers vs. reckless show-offs like their american counterpart.
Carter Lewis
Why not make driving exams much harder then? It would keep retards off the rpad. Or would that be racist and sexist?
Camden Adams
my mom can drive manual, I wouldn't call her good thou, she doesn't even rev match.
Australia has a very narky passive aggressive little bitch culture of resentment. It really comes out on the road. The last place they should be competing with their little bitch small dick one-upmanship. But that right there is more responsible for the higher fatality than speed limits.

>if you criticize Zelensky why don’t you go live in Russia You are one of those subhumans, aren’t you? Sorry not sorry dickhead, but the left is going to lose.
James Rogers
They exist to protect the incompetent and stupid. If women, chinks and indians were removed from the roads tomorrow we could double speed limits with no issue.
I swear the Italians on Any Forums are getting dumber and dumber and more representative of the average Italian. I do hate you faggots. I’m waiting for the collapse of this “country” so that you die off without the State. What? The driving instructor lectured you about the dangers of driving? Why the hell do you have the need to lecture everyone on things that everybody knows? Are you really that of a failure that you feel the need to go around telling others what to do so that you can feel smart?
Chase Scott
she will wreck it
Cooper Foster
German culture is to obey the rules. Germans drive really well. Other cultures do not follow the rules and people just do whatever they want.
tl;dr - only with Germans can you have no speed limits and not have dead people everywhere all the time.
Do you think natural selection could be at play here?
Aaron Morgan
Yes and also push the environmental craze
William Flores
Man you guys have insane laws. The police pulled over my uncle for going 2 above the limit. I thought you guys were supposed to be laid back and chill.
Nolan Ross
It was my understanding that while there is technically no speed limit on sections of the Autobahn, you can get ticketed for getting from point A to B too quickly. The rationale was that trying to pull over rapid travellers was inherently dangerous and caused traffic flow slowdowns.
This is a don't know, don't care, doesn't affect me.. just recall reading this a few years back.
Grayson Flores
Or you're a fag who can't drive properly and shouldn't be allowed to operate a vehicle.
Owen Wood
Germans are generally disciplined drivers. If you remove the speed limits in most other countries crashes will be x10.
Parker Collins
True that. Our manlets are chimping out on our motorways because of our lax traffic laws though. Not dangerous, but a nuisance.
Grayson Brooks
>he gets angry at the simple concept of being a competent driver can't wait to see you in the news after you've crashed into a big tree
Anthony Rodriguez
Speed limits have a very real safety purpose. At 26m/s (60MPH) a Toyota Camry at 1,100kg has a kinetic energy of 371.8kJ. At 36m/s (80MPH) it has 742kJ. Double the energy for 22mph faster. That extra energy is the difference between a crash that is 90% survivable to 10% survivable.
Not even counting the energy cost of going faster and fighting more air resistance. That too follows a similar curve for energy use. If you without a head or tail wind stop applying power a vehicle going 80MPH will swiftly decelerate down to 50MPH then slowly roll to a stop over a period of time about 30 times longer than it takes to slow from 80 to 50.
The best justification for speed limits is to keep vehicles slow enough to have survivable crashes, all going near the same speed and to safe huge amount of energy otherwise spent pushing air out of the way.
Because many Americans would literally die without a car and its an essential part of American life, not something you can put a high barrier to entry on. But really if you consider just how inept many people are and how dangerous and requiring in skill driving is, its pretty amazing that it generally works so well even in extreme low iq shitholes like africa and india. Sure there are many many traffic accidents and deaths but relative to how many absolute retards drive, it generally works quite well.

>bro, I'm such a manly alpha good driver speed limits are for gays and suckers haha
Speed limits were made during ww2 to save fuel. They did not exist before that. Yep
Easton Morris
>he can't modulate his braking pressure to regain grip >relying on ABS I bet you like traction control and lane assist too you massive gay, take your vagina back to china with the other myopic retards where you belong.
yes, fren, because of decades of building that kind of discipline being developed by actually having the opportunity to use those powerful engines and knowing when to behave
most roads in germany have speed limits i think its better to have them on some places and not have random police speed checks just stationary cameras on places where accidents happen
Adam Jones
Indeed. Look at how angry he is. Now translate that modus ragionandi to everything. Now do you understand why Italy cucked so hard during COVID? I’m indeed a competent driver. Thanks. The same cannot be said for you. Lemme guess? You were for mask and vaccine mandates because “think of the others”, and “I can’t wait to see you unvaxxed ones dead over the news”? Mhmh?! How much of a loser are you? Probably you are even too poor to afford a card tbqh.
Charles Sanchez
I love how your English comprehension is so poor. Must be the result of being prison nation offspring
Matthew Taylor
The state of either Montana or Wyoming did away with them entirely except for those set via local ordinance established by direct democratic vote, meaning ballot issue. They recorded no statistically significant change (increase or decrease) in the number of wrecks, number of fatalities, or damage to public roads and other infrastructure. The only change they measured was a massive decrease in government revenue from speeding tickets. What they learned is that, unbelievably, most people drive at a reasonable speed where they can control their vehicles, and the maniacs that speed like demons weren't listening to the speed limits anyway
Joshua Roberts
>Australia vs Germany The longest drive in Germany is what, 10 hours? The longest drive between 2 places in Australia is over 60 hours. Driver fatigue is why we have higher fatality rates.
