100 mph?? OMG.

How does your car not just fly off the road at that speed?? Serious question.


You’ve never driven out west. No your car does not fly off the road🙄. I routinely drive 90 and can hit 100 without noticing. I try not to but it happens. Speed limits on the highways are 75 and the flow of traffic is 85 so 100 is not uncommon.


This is true. I am from a rural intermountan west area. And my best friend's sister died in a car accident because her brother was driving 100mph. The next year he gave me a ride and proudly pointed out that we were going 100 mph. Because, I mean, who is the government to tell him what to do? /s


100 mph = instant death !


You guys who are making light of going 100 mph are really stupid. You will probably be fine but the risk of death in case of an accident at that speed is huge, and you really aren’t saving yourself that much time.


Pedestrians get killed regularly by cars going 100. Happens routinely where I live. Nice normal people, poof, gone, flatted by an adrenaline junkie.
At that speed, they kind of splat, just like cicadas and never know what hit them so it's fairly painless. I wish there weren't so many of them walking in the highway lanes.

My friend's dad is an accident reconstructionist, an engineer. When it's not clear how a car accident happened or who is at fault, he goes and evaluates and literally goes to the accident site and figures it out, then testifies. I was chatting with him once at a party, and asked what he's learned as a driver from doing this for so many years. He said "speed limits are there for a reason. Five miles over won't kill you, but ten will." I've adhered to that ever since.


I had a friend's dad who had a similar job he told me instant death when going 80 in a crash.

Yeah I’m a nurse and I’ve seen the consequences of ding dongs speeding. I don’t give a F about adrenaline junkies/drunk drivers/distracted drivers who die in the process but when they kill or ruin people’s lives…it’s mind boggling that people forget that they are driving something that can potentially kill other people.

If it’s the most convenient place to park, I will park in any designated space that is not “handicapped” or limited to employees of the facility I’m parking at.

Pregnant women, families with small children, Purple Heart veterans, “small cars”—IDC.

It started with “pregnant women” spaces during a week when some court or legislator somewhere in the US functionally declared all women pregnant unless proven otherwise.

For those who want these things and want them to be enforceable, the legislative process is available. Or you can piss test me. Whatever you want, IDC.

Serious question, why would a car fly off the road at 100mph?


It also depends on the car.

It seems everyone around here has some top heavy SUV. I don't feel safe at high speeds in those.

But in my low to the ground sedan, you feel very safe at upwards of 90 mph. definitely not flying off the road


Plus at that speed the motor will break.
Not true, gotten up to 120 on a closed track without any issues


It's impossible for an internal combustion motor to turn fast enough to reach that speed unless you have some sort of mechanical contrivance of gears between the wheels and the motor. Such a contrivance would have huge mechanical losses and be completely impractical. QED.


Are you kidding or just stupid?
