Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits

  But then why don’t we all shoplift packs of gum every week?

  Speeding is the one law everyone agrees is fun and acceptable to break a bit, despite being more dangerous than many actual crimes.

    Because when the road is built for a safe speed target of 65, then the limit is set at 55 instead, yeah you get people who are breaking the legal limit but not the actual safe speed.

      Where I’m at, they’re trying to do that plan where they lower speed limits and change the roads to reflect the slower speeds with narrowing, or bikes lanes, or speed bumps etc, but they ignored the entire part about changing the roads to reflect the new speeds, and just lowered the speeds.

      So you got these 4-6 lane roads that were designed for 50-60km/h and now they’re 30-40km/h and absolutely no one, is doing the posted limit.

      Do you think that every or most roads have the wrong speed limit? I sure don’t.

        If everyone is speeding on a road and not constantly getting into accidents does that not indicate that the posted speed limit is incorrect?
