Dimensions of the Maxi-Cosi Car Seat?


The problem is that most roads have limits posted that are probably WAY under the average safe speed. I can think of an interstate near where I live, because I travel it regularly, that's three lanes wide, limited access, and it has 4 different speed limits posted along a 30 mile strech. RIDICULOUS! The limits go up and down as you enter and exit different communities, for no other apparent reason than to give the local cop a 3 mile strech where he can ticket people traveling 65 MPH, becuase the limit actually dropped to 55 for his section of roadway.

Tires, why do they have a speed rating? If the rating is a V, why cant you put on a tire that has an S rating?


Which means that though your breaking the law of 70mph, you could be perfectly safely travelling at 85mph in the right conditions such as a dry day/clear motorway (like wise you woulnt want to be doing 70 in snow etc)

Exhaust flame thrower?


As long as you factor in traffic, weather conditions and your driving ability as well as your vehicle condition, you can safely exceed the speed limit with the only worry being the officer with the radar or laser gun ( or other form of "enoforcement") I don't have a grudge with the officer, they are just doing their job. The grudge is with the often unreasonable speed limits that are set.

Speeding to me is the person who is doing 70 in a 55, in heavy traffic, weaving in the lanes, tailgating, in general, being a nuisance and a hazard. Even worse is if the car is in "ugly" shape.

Has anyone done the social science masters with the open university?

One reason is that it's safer to go at the same speed as the rest of traffic - if everyone is driving at 75 mph on a 55 mph highway, you are much safer going 75 and keeping up with traffic than going 55 and getting in everyone's way. Most speed limits are fairly cautious settings anyway.
