Should speed limits just be speed recommendations?

[Kingofkings1992]

I am turned off by the fact a cop can issue me a citation for going 10 to 15 over just because he’s having a crappy day

Yes

No

It will not belong before you will not have to worry about a Highway Patrolman and ticketing as the Drone police force will be tasked with has made it so. A police officer or a Drone having a good or bad day is irrelevant if one is 10-15 miles over, texting, DUI/DWI checkpoint, or whatever the case may be.

So much for flat Texas road, green prairies, Shenandoah and Blue ridge curvy mountain Parkways and our assorted speed vehicles.

Maybe on freeways and interstates. But I firmly believe in speed limits within towns, cities, communities, etc.

[OlderAndWiser]

Are you equally pissed that a cop having a bad day can arrest you if you commit shoplifting?

[Kingofkings1992]

I’m no shoplifter

[OlderAndWiser]

Just a speeder? In my state, 25 mph over the limit can get you put in jail.

[Kingofkings1992]

Going 10 to 15 or even 25 over on the highway isn’t a crime, old man. I’ll never move wherever that is.

[OlderAndWiser]

A crime is whatever the state legislature declares to be a crime, punk.

It's not about the tickets. Speed limits are normally set up according to how safe it is to drive on that particular road. If there are no limits, people will drive as fast as they please without any guidance.

If there are no fines, drivers like you will be going 50mph over the limit all over the place.

[NamerOfStars]

No- if anything, they should be enforced MORE. Rules that aren't enforced are, ultimately, rules that aren't clear. If the rules ARE clear, then it becomes apparent when they need to be changed.

[Adam1978]

No there's a reason we have 40 roads near schools , to keep traffic slow, for safety reasons.

[DarkLegacy]

No it is a matter of safety and saving lives. The faster a car is going the more likely to cause a fatality.

[exitseven]

I always thought they were.

No that’s too vague.
