Every time I see a Corvair Monza on the street my day is vastly improved. Thank you, Corvair Monza owners. Please continue to do this public service.

The town's probably about three square feet wide, so I can't imagine they'd have to before another district sent in their cruisers...

He hit the car after the driver let off the brake and nearly ran him over. That seems like a very justified action to me.

Uh, bullshit. He hit the window after the SUV driver advanced on him and almost ran him over. Not to mention, this is all after the SUV driver and hit the man's car and was trying to flee the scene. So no, the SUV driver is in a lot more trouble.

Wait, it's that easy?! I've been on here for years lol, still waiting on getting a star!

Late 2007 is when it came out, so considering it'll mark six years in a month, it's definitely due for a redesign with the next year or two (overdue, really). That said, I think it's aged very well—better even than other 'retro' cars from the same period. Just saw one in classic purple on the street the other day and…

Many of these incidents are not on empty streets. If everybody's doing 30, you're not going to have anybody doing 40 without hitting somebody.

Mmm, there are really only a few places in the city I can think of where 20 makes sense as a limit and I'm sure we could trust the DOT to not know them...

Sorry for the typos in the first post...meant 'go after the bad drivers' not 'go off them' lol. You bring up a good point though; slow traffic can make drivers angrier, which has been proven again and again to make drivers worse. It's hard to find a good solution to this, but I wish this piece had been a bit more…

And I should point out, you totally missed the point of these campaigns in this misleading article. It's not that lower limits mean less hit and run, which is a ridiculous and stupid idea, it's that lower limits mean lower mortality rates in hit and runs, which happens to be based in actual science.

It's true that a lot of the problem are pedestrians behaving irresponsibly (which I see a lot while driving, and even more when I'm biking—which I know is a bad word around here, but I bike a fair amount and it annoys the shit out of me when somebody darts out while I'm following the rules), but I think the emphasis…

Nobody does, Travis got confused. These incidents (the Brooklyn one in particular) are focused on mortality rates in hit and run incidents (which are lower at lower speeds), not on wiping away hit and run entirely.

It's more that Travis got confused. I've been following the Brooklyn case. It's not a claim that lower speed limits decrease hit and run, it's a claim that lower speed limits decrease mortality in hit and runs. And technically, mortality is significantly lower at 20 or 30mph than 35 or 40. Whether or not this is the…

Eh, it's not that black and white. The Brooklyn incident that this article lightly references, I'm there a lot. I'm as speed-obsessed as anybody, but that particular area has some really reckless drivers who actually make it worse for the rest of us on the road whatwith cutting lanes and racing through lights. If…

Glad somebody picked this up. Travis got confused. Nobody is arguing that lower speed limits eliminate hit and runs. The question is over hit and run mortality, but apparently mortality was too complicated a word to fit into the article.

Generally over-regulation doesn't help speeding, I agree, but being pretty familiar with the exact area that the kid in Brooklyn was killed, I can tell you that it's not the place to drive that fast. This whole article is silly, because the parents aren't arguing it'll stop hit and run (that would be pointless),…

This article just makes Jalopnik look bad. I love driving fast just as much as the next guy, but we're not all Sennas on the street, and this is just fucking irresponsible.

You know, I'm as speed-obsessed as anybody and I have been all my life, but speed has its place. You drive fast on an empty road, not down a people-filled city street. I'm in NYC and as much as I love putting the hammer down, there are times when it's just not responsible to do that (our taxi drivers are perfect…

A good looking FF. This is a niche'ing that I approve.

Traffic never moves at 45mph in New York City where this set is from (limit is 25, average in the teens), so it's a moot point. In places where traffic is 45mph, biking on the sidewalk tends to be legal.
