If it’s a maximum limit to what’s safe, you can say anything at or below it is safe. They don’t set the maximum at a value that is unsafe for some vehicles.
Comment on Tesla Has The Highest Accident Rate Of Any Auto Brand
Auk@kbin.social 6 months agoIf the speed limit is indeed the true safe maximum for all vehicles and all conditions then how can you travel safely at said speed limit in your car, which I would wager cannot corner as well or stop as quickly as a top end sports car?

Indeed, at least for most modern speed limits. That was intended as more of a rhetorical question to lead the person I was replying to towards noticing speed limits are typically set with a wide safety margin, and not actually at the limit of what can be safe in good conditions.

I’m not saying all speed limits are set perfectly. I’m not saying it’s up to you to decide which ones are ‘safe’ to break. The driver that think they know better than everyone else are the most dangerous ones. Even if you think the limit is set tol low just follow it, ok? Is it so hard?

Say that to start off with then rather than "there's no way to drive safely above the speed limit on a public road", because there clearly are roads where it can be safe to drive above the speed limit.

Great, as long as we agree you should never drive above the speed limit I can agree that there definitely are some roads where the speed limit is set below the maximum safe speed.
