Well if you operate a death machine it would be realy nice if you could follow the rules and not kill somebody. Of course the rules should be reasonable but being unable to follow them means you should not be operating a death machine
There's no reason to follow unreasonable rules even when you're driving a death machine. Especially when not following the rules has an essentially near 0 difference in hurting someone with your cage of death(not trying to be sarcastic with cage of death). Many of these roads are designed for much higher speed limits but just have not been evaluated by the government for their speed limit and possibly never will be or they will be evaluated at a much lower than reasonable speed. For example the speed limit of most California freeways is 65 traffic moves at 80 regularly and sometimes when people are feeling frisky up to 90. Neither of those speeds are unreasonable when everyone around you is also doing them and people are used to those situations or understand they will be in those situations. A great example is Germany where parts of their freeways have no speed limit where people are doing in excess of 120 mph and semis are also using it at under 60.
Based on experience, I don't trust random assholes to determine for themselves when a rule is unreasonable. You're unreasonable with this take and presumption about yourself. This makes you dangerous to society. You'll prove that even more as you disagree.
You do not get to determine on your own that your actions have near 0 consequences. That's some level of psychopathic thought and just reinforces why we have some rules. It's also a lack of empathy or consideration of others.
You're breaking a rule operating a dangerous machine, and you're trying to shrug it off as no big deal. Dangerous.
Dude when I said that they have near 0 consequences I was talking about how 90% of the time in these situations there basically no one around doing 150 miles an hour wouldn't hurt anyone else. Breaking a rule when no one else is around or everyone else around is doing the same thing is not dangerous. In the case of everyone going 15-25 over the limit it's actually safe. C'mon homie think about it.
calls random people assholes and psychopaths with little to no provocation
claims other people lack empathy and consideration
