especially I-5, that road is so straight it would be dangerous to drive below 110mph!

they should get rid of the speed limit on I-5

Hhaha... why not.. make it an auto-bahn... I wouldn't mind even though I swore that I'de never take another trip that direction!!!
:dur:

Hahah... well shoot, you got my vote!


btw .... just to prove the argument about speeds:

Our MVFR (Motor Vehicle Fatality Rate) is 45.8% higher than Germany even though Germany has no speed limits on their Autobahns, 70% of their drivers drink alcohol and drive, and they consume 55% more alcohol per capita.

.... which is indeed true.

it is completely serious, if it is a long and straight road. since drowsiness has to do with most fatal crashes, speeding can actually be safer, just as long as you are in control.

The problem is that you are never in control.

If your that tired, pull over and take a nap.

you are always in control at 110 mph in a modern vehicle.

pulling over on a highway shoulder is dangerous, you might get hit

i drive at 110mph but if there is any danger of collision, my foot is on the brake pedal. my foot is usually almost always on the brake pedal no matter what. i am a safe driver.

Anyone who thinks driving at 110 mph all the time is safe is clearly delusional. If you actually thought it was safe you wouldn't have you foot almost always on the brake pedal. So you drive at 110 on cruise control with your foot on the brake all the time? You are NOT a safe driver :lol:

An overcautious driver is often a dangerous driver ...

The safest speed is the speed at which the flow of traffic is heading. If everyone is driving 70, keep a good distance and keep up. A driver who insists on driving faster (oh, let's say at 110) is creating dangerous situations for himself and others. The same goes for slower drivers.

Sweet technique.... Does that work well for approaching the turn into McDonald's @ 110 mph?  :lol:

Such hilarious generalizations here!   :lol:

Paraphrased said:

Driving fast is safer! :rofl:
Being a cautions driver is dangerous! :huh:

Its been proven that a distracted driver is dangerous!
Its been proven that a sleepy driver is dangerous!

Driving too fast gives you no time to react.  If someone pulls out in
front of you .. !!BAM!! .. and you think its gonna be their fault?
Hah!  If the accident investigation finds out you were speeding you
are partially at fault, if you were ciminally speeding, you will all
at fault.

The best driver is;
(1) Driving the speed limit, 
(2) Fully alert at the wheel expecting anything to happen, 
(3) Trying to predict the actions of all the drivers around him, 
(4) Looking a mile ahead,
(5) Trying to predict what might go wrong.

I'm usually (2, 3, 4) so I guess three out of five ain't bad!

you obviously missed the point. Driving speed limit will cause people to fall asleep. If you drive 130mph you get an adrenaline rush so you won't fall asleep. Basically i get fatigued more easily when the gas pedal is half depressed. Full throttle is the only safe way.

obviously 110mph is only safe on the highway (and highway is the only place where you need to drive long distance, such that you may want to fall asleep).

local driving is completely different. there are traffic lights, pedestrians, scooters, and other cars to prevent you from falling asleep.

but highway driving, 130mph is safer than 100mph.

Dude - I usually don't like to reveal someones identity online, but is this you?



Seriously, what world do you live in? Are you and the scare crow looking for the same thing?

Eh .. I wouldn't worry about it .. drive that fast very often and you'll get caught.

Get caught driving that fast, and you'll get some nice accesorizing jewlry, and a free ride. :lol:
