Engineers should absolutely include traffic calming features to get people to naturally slow down, but everyone should drive the limit.

Speed kills, kinetic energy is not linear.

Cars are tonnes of metal hurtling down the road. Thousands upon thousands die every year, and since the increased prevalence of massive US style trucks fatalities have RISEN, undoing decades of progress. (Both in the US, and elsewhere)

People driving 20 over the limit are arseholes (or have been influenced by car centric infrastructure and culture). Change my mind.

Speeding is never okay. Just that lots of people have convinced themselves it's no big deal.

Y'all are really justifying some shitty behaviour. Yeah, I get it, streets are designed shittily, and feels like it's fine to speed (especially, from what I can see, in the US), but this doesn't absolve you from doing the right thing.

Like, if it were 5 (km/h) over, I could perhaps forgive you. But downvoting me for suggesting 20 mph over is arsehole behaviour? You don't deserve a licence.

Fuck these carbrains putting their feelings over completely savable lives.

USA is cooked (and Australia, somewhat cooked, since people are buying ridiculously sized cars here too).

Don't speed, you fuckwits. Better yet, take public transport if you live in a city with cilivised transportation (obviously, not your fault if it doesn't exist).
