...Just keep driving like you're on a NASCAR track!
You have questionable drivers who think they will never get hurt and who basically don't worry about hurting others through their actions. The vast majority actually may not be able to read, comprehend the meaning of that white rectangular sign on the edges of the road ever 800 feet or so or simply ignore it because it doesn't pertain to them. You know, the one that says the speed limit is 65 or whatever? So they run their cars as fast as they think they can get away with thinking they are invulnerable. Breaking this law isn't considered that bad because "everyone does it." But many of those with this attitude complain about those "other" people who break other laws. (Driving isn't that serious a law, everyone knows that!)
And now some moron from Pa. wants to introduce a bill to increase the speed limit from 65 to 70! Get on the Pa. turnpike in the left lane and go the speed limit (or just about any other road with a maximum posted speed limit) and you need a ramp over your car or the guy behind you who thinks he's on the Autobahn will ride your tail, which is also illegal and he knows it.
During bad conditions the majority of these clowns never take those conditions into account when driving. Again, THEY will never get hurt and if they do cause a problem, first off the insurance will take care of it and second they will feel badly. What's worse is the idiot in the 4-wheel drive who thinks he can drive in snow or rain like it's summer on a straight, car-less road.
When you follow a Pa. State Trooper on the turn pike or any of the other state roads with a posted maximum and that trooper is exceeding the speed limit, you have to wonder who really cares about people's safety. There are videos of it!
Meanwhile, drivers are tagged for illegal parking, un-inspected cars, faulty or burned out lights or dozens of other minor violations...to make driving "Safe!" Hell, cops don't even tag people for coasting through stop signs or not stopping on red to turn right. But those laws don't pertain, I guess. We need to worry more about whether a child is secured in a car or someone is wearing a seatbelt in a car that the same driver will then proceed to exceed the speed limit even with the child in the car. /s
I guess it's too much effort to pull over the cars that are exceeding the speed limit. Oh and the excuse that the cops didn't see the speeder, well most times that's bull. Kinda like watching a car leave a bar knowing the vast majority of the drivers have been drinking. Sadly you can't prove that without stopping them and the "law" currently says you can't "pre-suppose" a person is under the influence just because they left a bar. But to ignore speeders because everyone does it or there are just too many of them is dangerous.
Sorry fro the rant. Drivers who ignore traffic and road laws have no business complaining about people who break other laws.
