Topic	People who are at fault in accidents that back up the freeway
Kyuubi4269 09/28/18 1:07:23 PM #70:	adjl posted... You said yourself that stopping speeding wouldn't stop accidents. Accidents are always going to happen. Not everyone is going to have one that they're responsible for, but citing the idealistic goal of 0 accidents as a reason not to pursue any sort of harm reduction strategies is just silly. Speed has no effect on accidents, it's like banning forks to stop stabbings. Don't throw about restrictions that don't do anything. Stop accidents by dealing with negligence. adjl posted... Any mechanical control is indeed going to require a lengthy phase-in process. Mandate a limiter's inclusion on all new vehicles, and require one to be installed on the vehicle of anyone who racks up a certain number of speeding tickets (similar to interlock systems for repeat DUI offenders), and you'll have a decent chunk of the vehicles on the road limited within 10-15 years. 1) Not all though. 2) Won't stop crashes. 3) Cars can be legally be driven off-road, how do you account for that? 4) FUCK OFF, SPEED IS NOT A HAZARD IN AND OF ITSELF. adjl posted... I don't think mathematical and linguistic reasoning skills have much to do with driving ability. Or are you one of those people who's clueless enough to think that IQ is a comprehensive measure of intellectual and physical ability? Spacial reasoning, major part of how people negotiate the world around them, people with poor spacial reasoning have low IQ as it is one of the areas of the test. Also low IQ people are hard work so I'd like them punished. adjl posted... It is when it isn't safe to speed. And 70mph was a safe underestimate in the 60s. Cars are immensely more agile and stable and can stop faaar quicker than any test claims now. Worse case scenario you could mandate a minimum brake force and tyre contact patch. adjl posted... He's not wrong. Why do you think you need to speed? To get anywhere quicker? Can you imagine how many fatalities would be avoided if truck drivers could make their deliveries without becoming delirious from lack of sleep? adjl posted... There also hasn't been that cultural shift against speeding yet. lol --- Scloud posted... Its like he wants two things at the same time. <cite>Kyuubi4269 posted [p:909606488] in People who...
