Who didn't see this coming

[vortecd]

So I'm passing a car on a 2 lane road and it cuts the power and I go head on with a on coming car. Sounds fun

Not that I’m for it obviously but I’ve wondered my whole life why they never did this before. I mean do we have the right to speed or something? Always made me wonder.

It's very unsafe to not be able to power out of a bad situation.

You don’t have the right to break the law but you have the right and freedom to make your own decisions, good or bad. I can’t believe you wondered about this your whole life?

Every time something is done for the common good, we lose a little freedom. Sometimes a lot freedom.

It can be against the law but still the right thing to do. In those circumstances it os up to thr enforcemnt authority to determine the appropriate response. I personally will gladly take a speeding ticket if it is the cost for getting out of a dangerous situation.

This system apparently lets you decide what it does, like the overspeed warning in my old GTO. Which everyone laughed at bc i set it at 100. I suppose you can set it to reduce power if you have a master code, for example for a learning drover or something. But i personally feel that is counter productive but some parents might want the option.

Of course it might be set to warn, and then reduce power at twice the limit or something.

Think about this, if you went to a drag strip it would probably see the speed limit around it and shut power down. If the gps was off a little you could be driving 70 down the highway and road next to you is 35 and you slow down suddenly and get rear ended. I see more safety issue doing this

This would F up the entire state of Michigan

Speed limit 70 average speed 90 LOLOLOL

How about they work on technology for the stupid
Like amber light means slow down & stop if you can do so safely
Not accelerate & try to beat the red light when you have more then enough time to stop
Can you make a vehicle stop in this instance ?

How about the left lane idiot doing 10 under the speed limit
Can you make this car get the phuck over to the right lane ?

I m usually behind the idiot in the above 2 cases every morning
Drive 10 under for miles then accelerate 30 over to beat the red

I need the option to accelerate myself away from idiots like this

People are stupid

Happy Friday

I was reading about this stuff last year. I’ll make it simple, because there is no debate in my mind. They can get fucked! Keep that shit, plenty of automobiles are around that won’t contain that particular nanny.

Let's just all take the bus.

That’s not fun, and I get your sarcasm. Actually tried that about 10-15 years ago. Not a bad deal in concept, except the customs and manners of the other riders were off the charts goofy. Not for me and I am tough to offend!

One example. We built these beautiful remote stations, vending machines, comfy chairs, monitors etc. People get there every morning and like zombies get into a formal single file standing line. Any good morning or social interactions? Ha! When that bus pulls up, you better understand the system for boarding. That unwritten system says no matter when you arrived at the station, that single file line will load first. Do they ever fill a bus? Hell no!!

You want to talk about the accepted seating norms etc. in the bus??

 

[recurveman]

Those are the very reasons people like us drive performance cars.

We also lose a lot of common sense it seems. Feels like the movie Idiocracy at this point.

 

[parttimer]

Not to mention when you do google maps and it says 15 minute to walk to a destination, bus route, 2 hours 22 minutes.....

Maybe they should focus on the asshats swerving in and out of traffic trying to get one more car ahead. I love it when they work their way over to the right lane and then get boxed in and I go flying by in the left lane. All that zig zagging for what? These aholes can kiss my ass. What happens when you have a legitimate reason to speed such as trying to get to a hospital? More government telling us what’s good for us we don’t need.
