Some excuses are what if you were in an emergency and you had to go over the speed limit? Then you would be really mad.
What is the law in California regarding baby carseats and charter buses?
Safety should come first. I hope I helped!
Should we carry a fire extinguisher in our cars?
We aren't ants. We're individuals. Don't 'should' on us.Which state is the most lenient on minor traffic offenses?
they should go that fast so that people can street race or race on the trackroad crossings: why should i be forced through a maze, so that idiots might be protected?
It should, but it isn't because safe is not fun.A cop might need to borrow your car to chase a criminal in a police car
Do you think David Frost is an irritating idiot?
Definitely agreed! I don't know why car makers do that. But I think they just want to show off. It's a risky thing, but hey, they make a lot of profit.Because there are some sane places on this planet where that is perfectly OK.
When some years ago I spent some time in Germany, where there are no speed limits, I realized how asinine the USA speed laws really are!
I felt perfectly fine doing 135mph which was as fast as the BMW I drove could go. It is because German highways (Autobahn) has no speed limit, that their cars are as good as they are. If we had been smart enough to do the same, our car industry wouldn't be almost bankrupt, and we too would be building worthwhile cars.
With no speed limit, you HAVE to build good cars, or you would lose all your customers since they won't accept having their cars in the garage more than on the street.
Also, if everyone drives twice as fast on average as we do now, you would only have half the cars on the road at any time, since the time on the road would be cut into half.
That's why whenever I see someone clueless ask questions like the present one, I really get steamed. Learn first what you are talking about before making statements lacking any type of understanding.
Auto gears safer than manuals?
I agree. Unfortunately, I'm told even fire engines and ambulances are not legally allowed to speed.the reason is because in some contries it is legal to go faster. That is why the usa has began puting govenors on us cars.
Oh no! The Beginning of the End right here.... my love of sportscars, may as well be over. lol Just kidding.
Improving driving anticipation and perception?
Well, that's a good point, and I've actually wondered that myself. However, I do know that when I get behind a granny that is doing half the speed limit, and I have only a certain amount of time to pass, I'm glad for the extra speed that my vehicle can give me. It makes me feel safer. If it had a lot less power, I would be stuck doing 34 in a 70! Or 25 in a 40!
Because faster is usually better, but also if you make it run just at the speed limit when you go the car will start to mess up, and weird noises will be heard.
You know we go faster so we're better, but people are stupid sometiems so i dk.
is it legal to cross the white solid line?
That sounds like al queda thinking. Make everything deemed illegal impossible.What kind of material are seatbelts made from?
People have the choice. There are actually times when breaking the speed limit is a good thing. Your wife is pregnant and about to give birth. Your father just had a heart attack and needs to get to the hospital...etc.
When you're driving in the dark thinking 'ohh pretty lights'....?
the "official" explanation is for safety/emergency issues/passing concerns. Lets say you live in the country. You are 45 minutes from the nearest hospital, at 60MPH. Your brother has a heart attack. Are you going to wait 1 hr, 30 minutes for an ambulance to get there, to your house, and BACK to the hospital, or are you going to stick him in your car, and get there in 30 minutes?If there is no line at a stop sign to show where to stop, where do you stop?
To use the brake during a sliding spin in wet conditions or not?
Technically, police, ambulance, fire trucks, and race cars don't have that right, either.
driving direction to cherating?
The difference is, race cars are on an enclosed track, and police, ambulance, and fire trucks aren't "penalized" for it.
speeding at 103, m74 at abington.?
Also, the speed limit isn't 70 everywhere. There are parts of -THIS- country (the us of a) that have speed limits at "whatever is reasonable" I kid you not.
What should I do if a neighbor hit my car and I don't have proof?
Your argument is also the same argument as to why ANYONE needs an 8 cylinder, let alone a 6 cylinder engine. My 4 cylinder, 1.9 Liter, 45+ mpg diesel does 120+ mph. (I know first hand) and it has a measly 90 horse power, and 115 lb-ft of torque. Why then, is a company like toyota coming out with a 400 HORSEPOWER hybrid? Why does the toyota camry [which, by all stretches of the imagination, is a "family car" have 268 horsepower? WHAT's the need for it?]
Because people like fast cars.
railroads are very close to my home two sets of them my daughter is 13 seems responsible?
Chevrolet has a governor on some of their trucks that prevent the car from going over 80mph [and 90mph on some of the larger engined models]
which is the best company making car seats for infantx? Looking at travel system?
you are living in a world where men love speed and horsepowers. they use it on the race track for high speed thrill. car manufacture know men don"t buy that goes up to 70 mph. this will cause manufacture to go out of business. do you know how many congress,police,fbi,sheriff etc. that own fast,muscle vehicles out there? millions not counting there kids. i drove my Porshe up to 135 mph on weekend at the race track and it takes away my stressFreedom to do as we choose, and most cars have limiters that restrict your speed to 90mph. You need to go faster then 70 in some states the limit is higher, and when passing or emergency situations when speed will get you out of danger is important.
why is it people are so stupid when it comes to driving in rain? Or snow?
