I ride on a college campus. At first I followed all the laws, but every time I would come to a 4 way stop not a single driver would go until I went through. Every time I would come up to the red light at the end of my street to wait, the light wouldn’t turn because whatever activates the change doesn’t work for bikes,…

You have time and again extrapolated my hypothetical into what you think I must do when I drive. Not once have I said what I do, nor have I said that people should break the law. Given my hypothetical and the restraints around it, it is patently false that 35MPH is the correct answer. You have ignored physics in order…

Dude, I don’t know how to make this more clear. You seem to be unable to understand and deal with a simple hypothetical.

GIVEN: Driver A is an average driver. Driver A is merging onto a road with a speed limit of 35MPH. Average driver speed on said road is 55MPH. Engineers recommended a 55MPH speed limit for said road.

W…

Firstly, I agree with you about roads that have lower speed limits due to pedestrians and/or neighborhoods. I should have clarified that I was speaking about highways.

You keep flipping back and forth between arguing for obeying the law in general and why you think going above the speed limit is a problem. This would be fine, except that you are letting your arguments overlap to the point where whenever someone responds with why the way you are defining speeding isn’t as bad as you…

This is the most absurd type of response to things like this. The problem is not “could the drivers have done better?”. The problem is that they made a small mistake (circumstances outside of their control could have delayed them as well) and were VERY CLEARLY trying to rectify the mistake, so do they deserve the…

Miata with 3-season tires here. I drove a mile, slid twice, almost got hit by a sliding utility van that was going 40mph at least. I turned the fuck around and went home. It's hell out there.

"wild-ass assumptions" was probably a hyperbole given the context. Other than that, he just asked if studies had been done and if anyone knew of any specifically, then got crucified for it.

People don't seem to understand the burden of proof. Thanks for keeping a cool head. Cheers, mate.

If intentions were all that mattered, the world would be sunshine and rainbows.

I just moved back home after living in a townhouse with friends for a little over a year. I ended up hating living at the townhouse and was the only one cleaning, so I was spending most nights on my Mom's couch anyway. I had a bad run over the last couple months and through one mistake and things out of my control, I…

I haven't seen his(?) other posts on this site, but in this case, justicewarrior is correct. The man never touched the people he took pictures of, and did not use a clandestine recording device. He stood, away from these women, and at waist level, took pictures. That scenario is 100% protected by the 1st amendment.…

Yeah, it just means your argument isn't good enough for me to accept it as true.

(That's a good thing. Maryland drivers. Holy shit.)

My siblings and I play GHOST.

You say mainstream news is ALL liberal. I don't believe you. The burden of proof is on you. Even so, I say Fox News is not liberal. You say that doesn't count as an exception and doesn't break your rule. The burden of proof is still on you. You have to prove that you are right, not ask non-believers to do it for you,…

I just came back from a family trip to WI from MD. I drove most of the ride back and had lots of time to think (15 hours). In my dad's Kia minivan, in heavy rain, myself and most other drivers still felt comfortable at 75 MPH on the IN/OH Turnpikes (extremely straight and flat), and in the dry we were doing 85 MPH. If…

Ford Focus. It's just too good at everything, and cheap, too.

That's all I could think of when I saw that. Also, cowl? chevy badge? LS1?

yup
