So why do folks go 13 kph over? And why is that okay?

That is a bad take.

TL;DR: If you do incriminating stuff, you should be incriminated.

There are rules that every driver has to adhere to. The rules are there for protection of the drivers and the people that rely on the drivers driving safely. But the thing is: without consequences, some people show bad behaviour, one being ignoring the rules which are made to keep people safe. In order to suppress such behaviour, fines and punishment are used.

I have been driving cars for around 10 years and have gotten a fine three times. The amount I paid for it in total was roughly 10 Euros per year, which is less than 1 Euro per month. And I could have avoided having to pay this by just being mindful and acting according to the rules, which I did not.

If people feel like they should drive 120 kmh in a 50 kmh zone or even worse, without any proper justification, they do not belong behind the wheel of a car.

Ethics is too complicated of a topic for some people in here, it seems. You don't need to be a psychopath to be wrong about this stuff, but being wrong about it is nothing to be proud of anyway.

Competitive wages and benefits... which does not mean "good" wages and benefits.

When I think of the situations that occur in everyday traffic and how people behave there, completely without google being involved, I am absolutely not surprised at the level of carelessness that radiates from such events. Though it could also be my lower trust in services like google maps because I have a deeper knowledge of the technology behind it than most people. There may be people who think of google maps as some kind of authority that has proven to not be wrong at any time...

If google had enough information and time to correct such map errors and did not out of neglect, they may still be held accountable. And I think that this is a good thing.

Yeah, what about mac and cheese? Come on people, how could this possible work when we all know that mac and cheese?! Discussion over!

Yeah, no more words needed here.

And it even was the very same city that exactly 10 years ago was hit with a very violent hailstorm that caused billions in damage.

It is a lot better where I live. I am in a smaller town in southern Germany. And recently I joined an official climate change group of said town that aims to bring awareness and change in the community. Everyone can participate and the discussion alone is helping everyone a lot.

Negativity against cars is not unreasonable. Also negativity against people blocking the path needlessly is not unreasonably.

The purpose of mods is to tell people like you to learn how to behave. Of course you won't like it. But I do.
