Yeah well, that's your problem, I guess.
Actually I didn't really answer the question, did I? I was protecting everyone else's honor!
I do speed from time to time but only to stay with traffic. The speed limits are rather arbitrarily picked so it doesn't bother me.
I've been reading US Department of Transportation studies about the best way to convince people to follow the law. They've figured out that, while scaring people shitless is effective to a point, you should never underestimate the power of self-denial. Basically, people would see ads like that and say "that applies to other people, I'm a good driver and don't have to worry about it." Most of the ads now focus on the legal trouble you will "almost certainly" get into instead.
I said I don't speed, so I don't need to justify it.
And how dare I get judgmental when someone breaks and bends regulations to his liking? Everybody does it, so it's okay? We had that logic in the copyright thread already. If you think a speed limit, or generally: a law, is wrong, then try to change it. But as long as it exists, abide by it. Yes, it's that simple. If you have an accident while you're speeding above the limit, you'll get no respect from me.
Ok, you are perfect, we get it. Good for you.
But you don't give respect to anyone. It seems like every time you post in a thread it's to give an insult at either the OP or someone who recently posted something that's relatively innocuous. So there's no way I can even believe this is actually your position; it more just seems like one you've adopted for this so you can go after people.
LOL, you can't believe that someone actually follows speed limits? I don't think this is really about my posting history as it's about you having a problem with my position. You disagree with it and think it's okay to speed. Fine. But don't keep saying I'm lying.
I don't believe anybody who drives regularly abides by all traffic laws, no. Whether it's turning over a solid line, rolling through stop signs, parking illegally, driving too close to the car ahead of you, taking a phone call while driving, or something. I don't think it's even possible to do that.
Not having your signal on for either too short or too long of a period of time is another good one.
I absolutely believe that some people do their best to follow all traffic laws and I have no problem with that. I'm just saying that based off of your posting history and your constant antagonistic posts I don't believe you and that you're instead using this as a way to attack someone. Perhaps you'd do well to reconsider the manner in which you post and then people would take what you say seriously instead of assuming it's just an attack.
Signal? Whats that?
I always look which way the driver in front of me turns his head. Whichever way he/she looks the longest is the way he'll/she'll drive. If the car has dark windows, I'm buggered.
Indicators, flashers, blinkers

If you bothered to read the rest of my post you would've realized that I was sarcastic.
Not a soul uses them over here. They're complete unnecessary anyway. Everyone is a mind reader right? Screw the indicators! *I'm being sarcastic*
EDIT: My apologies, mate. I didnt mean to sound so rude, but i'm tired and i had a shitty day. More precisely, a shitty six months. Its sorta getting to me.

Hell, people not using signals at all would be an improvement - people round here all use the wrong indicator when they're turning!

You'd fit riiiiight in where I live. Most people don't use a turn signal. I do, though.
But I've learned to spot what people are going to do by the tiny, tiny little moves they make before they actually change lanes. If you know what you're looking for, you can see their thought process play out right in front of you.
Which is a very necessary skill here given the typical aggression level on the road.
I do too. Although I don't necessarily put it on 300 feet in advanced as required by law (in Delaware at least).

Yeah, experience goes a long way to being a safe driver (which screws up people trying to increase the age people get a license since they still won't have the driving experience).
Mant, now if those signs were actually enforced by Apache helicopter, I'd probably be more likely to comply.
Sorry, it's not that simple.
If a law is morally repugnant I shouldn't be forced to follow it. Or are you saying that if torture were perfectly legal that you would argue that we should just accept it until it's made illegal?
And no, I'm not saying speed limits are morally repugnant.
