Max speed limit in the US of A is 85mph so that is in fact not a reasonable speed.
If you wanna drive your fancy Porsche fast take it to a closed track you absolute piece of shit
🙄👌👍 and weed is definitely a schedule 1 drug.
Plenty of drivers in countries with speed laws based in sanity handle this as their daily commute. But yeah I'm definitely way more dangerous than an 18 wheeler on 12 hours of driving doing 80 at 20x the force 🙄.
Math fucking time!
A 95000lbs truck crashing in. 5 s at at a rate of -8m/2 produces 35000 newtons of force.
My car needs to produce nearly -30m/s2 crash acceleration to match.
Did you miss the “not around others” part?
Posted limits are just arbitrary numbers when you’re alone. As long as you’re in control of your vehicle, you’re fine.
The Germans realized this and that’s why the Autobahn doesn’t have a posted limit aside from specific areas.
