[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I speed a lot on DC roads — the speed limits have been lowered so much over the past few years to really dumb levels. Never gotten a ticket. I mean, how hard is it to learn where the cameras are and just slow down in those specific locations? The number of tickets just shows how dumb people are because they don’t want to spend any brainpower figuring out how where the cameras are. It’s really a stupidity tax. [/quote]

I live in DC, drive DC roads regularly, and never feel the need to speed whether there is a speed camera around or not. I don’t speed because doing so endangers my life, the lives of other people in my vehicle, and other road users. And that is not a price I’m willing to pay to get to the next red light a few seconds earlier. We’d have a lot fewer accidents, a lot lower insurance premiums, and thousands of fewer traffic deaths if more people weren’t so selfish as to privilege their own convenience over other people’s lives. In other words, SLOW THE F$&K DOWN![/quote]

Driving is inherently dangerous, and [b]there's absolutely no data that shows that reducing speed limits on many roads from 35 to 25 resulted in any improvement in safety[/b]. If you're really concerned about your life, the lives of your passengers, and other drivers, the solution is not to obey the 25 speed limit and act as though you're better off than the person going 35; it's to avoid driving altogether.[/quote]
