Fuck Richard Nixon
>>29057894people can't handle going 65 without slamming into each other. no one wants a retard in a rice out bmw driving like a mexican doing 100mph on the highway when all they want to od is go to work and drink their coffee.
>>29057894They need to bring back the speed limit and commercial drivers licenses for vehicles over 3,500 lbs
>>29057900Your average modern "sports" car eclipses 3500. Make it 4000 to weed out the truggs, SUVs, and soulless electric transport appliances and I'd agree with you.
>>29057900>They need to bring back the speed limit and commercial drivers licenses for vehicles over 3,500 lbsShould they also ban better braking systems that make those speed limits nothing more than a cash grab?
If you cant go 100MPH in a straight line with minimal traffic you shouldnt have a license
>>29057894Last thing I need is fast and furious spics driving even more erratic. We can't have nice things when minorities exist
>>29057896Is the speed limit 100? Oh, it isn't? So the number on the sign didn't stop him? So weird.

>>29057910it's not so much the brakes that improved as it is the tyre technology. today's shitty chinese drift specials probably still have more grip than the best patterns from 20-30 years ago
I live in an area that has pre-WWII parkways with narrow lanes, blind curves, AND hills, and the speed limits on those were 25 when they were built in the '30s, 45 during the oil crisis, and then raised to 55 when that National Speed Limit law applied.
Americuck thread lmao
>>29057894Remember when everyone was salivating at the mouth at finally getting to lynch a US president for breaking literally every single law, and then Ford proceeded to lmao and pardon him for everything just for Carter to come in and be Nixon on Steroids? I don't because I wasn't born then, but I think about it whenever I hear some boomer give me the "MURICA IS GOOD GUYS WOO YEAHH" speech.
>retarded parents teach retarded children how to drive
>>29058081>Remember when everyone was salivating at the mouth at finally getting to lynch a US president for breaking literally every single lawDude Nixon covered up a failed break in, into DNC headquarters. It was a nothingburger scandal compared to what's happened since. Under Reagan we had the CIA smuggling cocaine into the country so they could give the money to militants and we had the CIA selling weapons to Iran so they could smuggle the money to militants, we had the NSA spying on the entire country without warrants, under W. Bush we had fake weapons of mass destruction that lead to two pointless 20 year wars, under Obama we armed a bunch of insane jihadis who proceeded to destroy Libya and kill a million people and then we had a fake Russian collusion hoax he made up with the CIA, under Biden we had his son's laptop scandal censored out of the press prior to an election and then he spent the next 4 years having other people sign executive orders because he was too senile to know what was going on, now we've got Epstein getting covered up a man who was protected by every president from Clinton onward and Israel blatantly telling our president to fight a war for them.Hell before Nixon we had LBJ and he probably had Kennedy shot and you're still sitting here talking about Watergate while clutching your pearls about Nixon. Give me a break.
>>29057910They need to fuck off with all the safety shit and implement Steering Wheel Spike theory.
>>29058097truth nuke
>>29058097LBJs wife had a massive stake in the BELL company that made the 205/HueyHe left the white house extremely rich due to vietnam
You can't have normal speed limits when you insist that every nigger, boomer, yeet and karen should be allowed to drive.
>>29057894the maximum speed limit should be 45 mph. if you find yourself needing to go over 45 mph and you're not police/fire/EMS, you're doing something wrong in life.
>>29058191Enjoy everything you buy costing more money because the semis transporting the items can only go 60% of the distance per day that they do now
>>29058081Are you lost normoid
>>29057907making it 3500 will lower the weight of all vehicles.
>>29058339white MEN maybe. I see white women doing 10 over on their phones every damn day.
>>29058346it's implied by my not so radical position that women will be at home tending the kids and making house
>>29058318fuel efficiency increases with decreasing speed.
>>29058450If the truck goes 40% less distance per day they have to pay the driver more because he's driving for more hours for the same trip.
>>29058715They jew truckers by paying per mile lol
>>29058097based history rememberer
Humans, especially Americans, are too stupid and stubborn to go faster than 55 mph.
>>29058097What did Clinton do aside from inhaling marijuana and having sex with that woman?
>>29059055
>>29057894Didn't this just eventually cause people to not really take speed limits seriously in America, wasn't there was some article not long ago that you can go about as fast you want within reason. First they said it was for fuel consumption, then they said it was safety and then some other reason. Seems like it worked out well for you in the end.UK for comparison.https://youtu.be/f3EVtIGnDvU?t=945>>29058097Nixon literally made the decision to kill thousands of people supposedly because of communism. Thats not even including Vietnam. He was not hated nearly as much as he should in the media or from historians.>>29058012The Chrysler Imperial from the late 50's is capable of smoothly going 100 mph without much stress, it can go 120 mph if pushing it
>>29058097truke
>>29058157many places are making it "harder" to get a license but all it does is make sure retarded immigrants and geriatrics are the only ones on the road
>>29059055>What did Clinton do aside from inhaling marijuana and having sex with that woman?He covered up for the CIA importing cocaine into an Arkansas airport, he ran a real estate ponzi scheme called Whitewater, he was best buddies with Epstein and helped keep law enforcement off his back for decades, the Clinton foundation stole UN relief funds from Haiti when they were inexplicably put in charge of the relief effort which turned into a complete fiasco, and he's probably had a few people killed.
>>29058806can confirm, i know a trucker and he made fucktons of money but complained that it was by the route, not by time, so on some jobs he'd get jewed hard and on others he'd almost die speeding on mountain roads and sheeitit's why truggers always drive crazy
>>29057894i dont understand why they did this during the oil crisis, did they just not know how cars worked? cars burn less gas the faster they go on the highway
>>29058806That's my bad, there's a lot of hourly pay trucking near me so I forgot that most OTR is per-mile. So anons stupid low speed limit idea would just cut their pay by 40% and make people leave those jobs because they'd be making less per hour than a McDonald's employee. So they'd either have to raise pay and shipping rates, or hire cheaper and worse drivers (jeets, Ukrainians, and spics)
>>29059055>What did Clinton do aside from inhaling marijuana and having sex with that woman?ruby ridge comes to mind
>>29057896And considering the average person knows nothing about maintenance, a suspension or steering failure at 100 mph would be far more catastrophic than it would be at 60. Same for losing control>>29057967>the number on the sign didn't stop him?No, why would it? The point is higher speed differentials leads to harsher penalties. Learn the basics of how laws work before you come on here and make terrible arguments.
>>29061803>a suspension or steering failure at 100 mph would be far more catastrophic than it would be at 60. Same for losing controlOh no.Anyway, what speed is non catastrophic when in a head on collision with someone traveling the same non catastrophic speed?
>>29061846The speed of whatever you hit is irrelevant. Hitting a stationary object imparts the same force as a head-on collision with a car going the same speed as you.Source: 400-year-old physics
>>29061149Kept bombing Iraq after the war, bombed civilian populations in yugoslavia & Kosovo, was governor of Arkansas during the period that millions in drugs came over and distributed thru Arkansas by the government, hung out with a convinced pedophile on his private island like 40 times or something, took jew money, had enemies of his family killed, allowed Bin Laden to do whatever tf he wanted, gave money to terrorist organizations, was president during the whole Somalia crisis, fucking nafta, ruby ridge, Waco, okc... and much more, but hey he played the sax that one time, right?
>>29061851but what if one is made of feathers
>>29061871it wouldn't matter, because the one made of steel is faster
>>29057894Oddly it's a really good number if you want save gas.
>>29061851so your telling me hitting a solid wall at 60 mph, or 100 mph, would be equally catastrophic as hitting a car at 60 mph, or 100 mph, just because both sides are traveling the same speed. hitting a car moving at you at 5 mph, while moving 5 mph, is just as bad as hitting a car moving at you at 100 mph, while moving 100 mphthats what your saying
You would have to drive over 20 miles in a straight line at 70 mph opposed to 55 mph to save even 5 minutes, meanwhile your chance of dying in an accident doubles, your risk of injury triples and the structural safety and reliability of your airbags drops by over 60%. Your stopping distance increases by 50%, chance of losing control of your vehicle doubles.It's not worth it unless you are an emergency vehicle and saving 5 minutes could save somebody's life. Simple as.
>>29062067unironically why australia's outback speed limits being capped at 110 kph is an absolute pants-on-head retarded move. being able to do 200 in the middle of butt fuck nowhere in an area where the horizon is a perfectly flat line all around would cut the travel time in nearly half and cut down the risk of killing yourself due to fatigue by as much since you're not spending as much time on the road.
>>29062076The amount of time you save by going faster is reduced exponentially. For example going 20 miles at 70 vs 55 saves you a little under 5 minutes while going 125 (200 mph) vs 70 (110 kph) saves you roughly 7 minutes while also exponentially increasing the chances you will die and the risk in the amount of hazards you will experience
>>29062076>unironically why australia's outback speed limits being capped at 110 kph is an absolute pants-on-head retarded moveits not. anyone actually taking moving across one of the most deslote places on earth with no support to back them up seriously? they would be using there resources the most reliable way they could, because failure means death. the kind of people who go "NO SPEED LIMIT? IMMA DO 300 KMH" is the sort of person who costs half a million dollars rescuing their dumb ass when a single wheel pops 9 hours away from the nearest tire shop.to be fair, if your okay with subsidizing every tiktokker who gets lost in the australian desert, thats fine by me if you pay the bill and i can opt out
>>29062078lolwut. if you're doing 200 over the same distance it's almost twice as fast as 110.>>29062089it is. just drive to conditions. the kind of person you're talking about is gonna do something equally stupid one way or another. you're gonna waste more resources trying to save that kind of person from themselves than anything else. especially since people in wa already do it when they know cops aren't looking.
>>29062093>you're gonna waste more resources trying to save that kind of person from themselves than anything elseno, your going to waste your resources EITHER way, all you can do is LIMIT it, and waste less resources.
>>29062076>go 200kph>hit a roo>die
>>29062105>>29062106already probably gonna die to fatigue anyway. so be it.200 limit doesn't mean you HAVE to go 200. it just means you can go at the speed you're comfortable at, and pass peolle easily, instead of the australian overtake
>>29062105and for what it's worth, the NT had a stretch of highway with no limits. zero fatalities during that time before it became a political football
>>29061803Driving 100mph is an arrestable offense in most states regardless of the speed limit. If you're going 100 you don't care about laws.
>>29061117>So they'd either have to raise pay and shipping rates, or hire cheaper and worse drivers (jeets, Ukrainians, and spics)a 45 IQ jeet can cope with a 45 mph speed limit.
>>29062037NTA, but no, it's not just as bad, but the equating forces would be similar to hitting a wall, worse or even better in certain casesthe variable that makes it better or worse for you is if the thing you hit is lighter or heavieryou will still endure the same amount of deceleration though, which is the thing that sucks the mostso if you hit a car moving at you at 5mph that has the same mass as yours, and you also mover at 5mph, you will fell the same way as if you hit a wall at 5mph, but the energy of a 5mph collision will be different from the energy of a 100mph collision due to higher kinetic energies in 100mph collision compared to the 5mph one
>>29057894To play devil's advocate, this is actually incredibly beneficial for everyone. The only downside is it takes longer to get anywhere. For every 100 miles you drive, it takes you 20 minutes longer to do it, so if you drive 12k miles a year that's an extra 46hrs spent driving. That sucks. However, fuel efficiency's greatest enemy is wind resistance and your car is about 25% less efficient at 70mph vs 55. If you get 30mpg at 55, you only get 23 at 70. So you're using an extra 120 gallons. At $4/gal that's $480, so by driving at 55 it's almost like you're getting paid $10/hr to drive. More importantly, Americans drive about 3 Trillion miles per year. That mpg difference means we're burning about 30 extra billion gallons of gas. Over the course of 50 years that's 1.5 trillion gallons of gas. Why that matters to you and me specifically is if we were collectively using less gas, we would have, obviously, more gas. If we had more gas, there would be less incentive to save gas. That means no hybrids, no GDI, no engine downsizing, no California tire laws
>>29062037>hitting a car moving at you at 5 mph, while moving 5 mph, is just as bad as hitting a car moving at you at 100 mph, while moving 100 mphThat's not what I'm saying at all dumbfuck, learn how to read.
>>29062037Mythbusters tested it using identical cars. The cars suffered the same damage hitting a wall at 50mph (it's been a long time) as running head-on into each other with each car doing 50mph.
