    Bad road design is an entirely different problem.

    And I’ve got a question for you: it’s rush hour and everyone is doing 70 in a 55. How do you enforce this? Pull everyone over?

      “Pull everyone over “

      I love how you phrase that like it’s some ridiculous impossibility lol.

      Speed cameras. Send them all a ticket.

      “Bad road design is a different problem”

      Yeah just like crashing is a different problem lol.

          lol do you really think that’s some kind of rebuttal?

          Let’s break it down. Essentially:

          “We can’t ticket everyone”

          “Yes we can”

          “But we don’t like to get tickets so we vote against tickets. Therefore you can’t do the reasonable things leaving our solution of speeding as the only option! so check and mate!”

          It’s impossible because you want to keep it impossible, so you can say it’s impossible, so your idea of just speeding all the time is the only way.

            If you can find an electorate who’d be okay with this you might have a point.

            Those cameras would come down in like a month, what few a local government could afford to put up, anyway.

            They could do this easily on major highways and yet they haven’t yet, precisely because the local government knows it would be electoral suicide.

            A better solution would be pace cars that drive the speed limit with big gates so nobody can go around them. Then people literally can’t speed.

              Btw we aren’t going to waste our time pushing for more speed cameras lol we are going to sit and wait and gather our energy.

              The moment self driving cars are safe enough we are going to ban human drivers entirely, because humans suck at driving cars.

              That’s the future for you guys. You flat out refuse to drive safely so we just won’t let you drive at all.
