75mph on rural roads? I've also been driving for 30 years, and have done a lot of that on rural roads. You are out of your mind if you don't feel the difference between 50 and 75. On the interstate, with zero traffic? Maybe. On a winding rural road? Bullshit.
I don't think it is mph. It probably Km/h. But it still is much to fast!
it is mph, as stated in the articles
Why would there be a speed limit of 50 mph in the netherlands???
50 mph is almost exactly 80 km/h, which isn't all too uncommon in the rest of the EU.
I thought it happened inner-city. There the speed limit would not be higher than 50 Km/h. But maybe it happened on a country road? Then 80Km/h (50 mph) could make sense.
If you are asking why mph in particular, it is probably because the news source is British so they likely converted it
I like how you just assume I am wrong instead of thinking that maybe your dumbass doesn't understand that rural roads aren't all curvy.
See a therapist about the narcissism. All of you, really.
There is no assumption. They think you're opinion is wrong and so do I. Deal with it and don't resort to childish name calling because an internet stranger told you what they think of your opinion. Maybe talk to someone about your anger issues too.
It is not just about curviness though, chance of death for a hit pedestrian sharply increases after 40mph and is practically 100% at above 60mph. To be fair it is also quite high at 50mph so this is not just an issue of "if he went with 50 they certainly wouldn't die" (though they would have had better chance for sure). But this is to say, when they put these limits, they don't just pull them out of their asses to torture drivers.
I’m sure it’s “if he were going the speed limit he should have had time to see and react, given the road characteristics “
Dang I didn't realize they still made people this dumb
Cool so you're just an asshole? Thanks for posting! Super useful bits of information you've shared.
So you can dish out personal attacks but are too much of a snowflake to take them? Why bother being such an asshole if you didn't want those replies in kind?
... you understand that this is very literally narcissistic behavior, yeah?
Lol
no we assume you're an asshole from the things you write and post here bill. and your confidence is DISTURBING! -
" I’ve been driving for 30 years and haven’t had a ticket in 20 years, and even i will look down in amazement that I am going as fast as I am. "
what the fuck
