Your arrogance is only a defensive mechanism because you know you're in a sad state.

For the lulz... I said it already a few times before. 🙂

You're kinda dumb, aren'cha? You don't pick up on things very quickly.. Would explain you in P&N. :awe:
 
At least he wasn't voluntarily raped... you aren't too bright either to figure that driving 25mph over limit will result in hefty ticket. Sooner or later.

See, the problem is you're just deflecting. If the pictures you posted are indeed of yourself, then I understand why you're having problems and why you're on ATOT.

But I guess you're just going to have to learn...or not, and keep hating life. Good luck!

its called driving with the flow of traffic, if you were actually driving the speed limit you would be a serious risk to everyone else on the road at that time

even out here in bum fuck nowhere people drive 75-80 99% of the time

While it's true that a lot of people speed, I doubt I've ever seen more than about 25% going more than 5 over, and probably no more than 50% going even 1 over (except when I've driven in California, where it seems most everyone speeds everywhere). Around here I5 is usually 3 lanes, and the right two (which are easily the most populated) are the speed limit or under 90% of the time. The left is usually about 5 over, with people making room for the few that push faster than that.

Personally I think people that speed just like to spread that bs in an attempt to rationalize their selfish behavior (again, except in California where absolutely EVERYONE is selfish, so by comparison it's the norm).

When I lived in Seattle, it was amazing how slow people drive. And a little rain/snow and nobody knows how to drive.

In parts of NY where I grew up where the limit is 55 on the highway it's very common for people to cruise up to 10 over, but everyone knows going more than that is asking for a ticket.

Having lived all over the country I've come to the conclusion there are two big reasons: lifestyle and outlook.

People in the northwest are more laid back than most other areas of the country. The south claims a leisurely lifestyle, but it's honestly more a combination of heat exhaustion and lethargy than leisure. Up here it's not laziness or slowness, just a calm peace that so many seem to share. The pacific northwest is like a big Taoist commune or something. That seems to translate into less need for speed in the car.

The other part, outlook, is a little tougher to see...especially in the last ten or so years as things seem to be moving more towards the rest of the country. Basically people just seem less self-centered, or more aware that they're sharing the situation with others. My time in California, the deep south, the east coast...all were punctuated with people who seemed to not realize that there was anyone in the world but themselves. They drove aggressively, talked aggressively, focused all their energy on imposing change on their environment (change their income, their career, their social status, etc). Up here, we seem much more likely to just be who we are and enjoy what already is. When I talk to my cali buddies about driving they're all 'you're slowing ME down'. When I talk to hardcore pacnw'ers they're more like 'hey however you want to be, you have as much right to the road as I do'.

Obviously it's not an absolute...I met laid back people all over, and there are A types here...but in general, it's what I've noticed (and why I will only live up here now).
 
Idk, it's pretty common whenever I am on the freeway for most people to be going 5mph or more over the limit. Going the speedlimit or under is very uncommon except when it's clogged to hell and back.

Oh and soon as it starts to snow it's hell. People all of a sudden forgot what a steering wheel is.
 
Who cares? Stop breakin the law, asshole.

IMHO if people stayed to the right most lane supporting their speed, the road expansions needed would be much less.

Down here you get usually 4 lanes on the highway and up to 8 (only counting one direction), yet it's not uncommon to see 3 taken up by people all going the speed limit or under with miles of road ahead of at least 1 of those. Our leftmost lanes are blocked for HOV's so usually those aren't an option for me.

We also have the 4x4 crowd doing this waiting for someone to try and pass so they can sound off their train horns.

We also have a problem of tools merging at 5-10mph below the speed limit yet head straight for the outermost lane causing a major braking commotion.

Statistically 10mph over the limit is one of the safest speeds...10 mph or more below the most dangerous as most have a hard time judging even when a vehicle is totally stopped as they approach without brake lights on.

5 mph over is normal, no one is arguing that. 25 mph over is idiotic.

Have you even driven in snow yet? I thought you just got your car.

How hard people are speeding seems to depend on what the speed limit is. On the highway, 5mph over is about right, most a little slower. In construction zones, people go about 20 over. There are many parts in my city where it's not unusual at all for people to be going 55mph in a 35mph construction zone.

Alright so what did we learn here
-it's safe to speed in a construction zone
-it is not safe to speed on a well paved highway
:hmm:

Justify Selfish behavior? Where the fuck do you think we are? We're in AMERICA. What'd you think the America Dream is? Happiness for everyone else? People are fucking hilarious.

I got contacts, and I decided against speakers as of yet so far.

I have enough money to buy a nice set of speakers ($500+) and contacts and whatever else I want after paying this $600 ticket though. I just don't want to spend my money. :awe:
 
Why do people feel the need to post their dirty laundry (foolishness, stupidity you fill in the blank) in public, for all to see? OP, I have a semblance of a life so I did not read your entire thread. IMHO $600 is excessive but come on, what did you expect? You were going 25 over the limit.

You were lucky ...

You were lucky you weren't killed or you didn't kill someone else. How long have you been driving?

Which is the more foolish to do ... go 80 in a 55 speed zone or post about getting caught?

What were you thinking? There should be some sort of minimum intelligence test to post in here.

It's a fucking 4 lane freeway you tool. If I was going 80 in the most right hand lane then maybe you'd have a point, but I was in the most far left lane and guess what? NO ONE WAS IN IT...

Whoops, maybe I got those backwards. XD Hehe.

There absolutely should. For every 100 brain dead mindless zombie like you running around thinking government set speed limits like the magical "55", there's about one of us thinking what the fuck is wrong with our society.

I know what bad snow is, and it's fun anyway. 🙂 Coming down so hard you can't see shit and there's so much you basically can't move.. Yeah, it's awesome actually. 😀 It only sucks because other people go like 2mph everywhere. I can walk faster to my destination than they drive half the time.

in all fairness if cars are driving only 2mph, should you venture out into the snow they'd only find a bag of some cereal where you were resting for eternity under.
