You know, I get it, they're probably just an asshole. Maybe they're having an emergency, though. How about just letting them get around in case there is a good reason for driving recklessly? Or maybe just in case they're nuts enough to make things violent?

I mean, the text say the guy honked for going "70 in a 50".
If you take it at face value, the person posting is the asshole and a terrible driver endangering everybody on the road.

The other person would have to be doing 70 as well, in order to honk at them.

She's taking selfies while driving, clearly she's the better person

Could've honked while being overtaken

Yeah, honking at me. And those flashing lights on the roof of their car are really annoying.

70 in a 50 zone. Doesn't matter if its km/h or mph, that's just idiotic.

Have you ever slipped and accidentally honked at someone?

exactly, the engineers should never have made a road with that big of a discrepancy between safe speed and listed speed limit

How is that even possible?

The engineers only make the designed safe speed. Government officials make the listed limit. It used to be EXTREMELY popular for government official to knock 20-25% off the design limit of the road, ironically so they can tell everyone how safe they were.

Neither driver here is in the right.

I disagree. There are two roads near me with a limit of 55 mph, and traffic on those roads regularly moves at 75-80. Driving 55 becomes dangerous when all of the other traffic is going so much faster, because nobody expects you to be that slow. You risk getting rear-ended, and if traffic is heavy, people who end up behind you now have to merge into a much faster lane of traffic to get around you.

Why don't they confiscate driving licences and imprison all the criminals who are driving 20-25mph dangerously over the limit?

You ever tried to pull over an entire freeway full of cars at once?

A single cop car on the side of the road can get everybody to magically follow the speed limit.

That's really dependant on location. I have had plenty of road trips up and down the I5 where groups of cars pass cops on the side of the road going 80, and no one slows down and the cops do nothing.

Everywhere in my town was 25mph until about 10 years ago.
A local politician got a few speeding tickets and went nuts over it, now it varies from 25-60mph. Engineers were brought in to advise on safe limits.
Him getting those tickets was one of the best things that ever happened to me. It was so miserable driving so slow on big open roads. I could probably sit down and figure up an insane amount of time Iāve saved over the last decade (if I werenāt an idiot).

going 70 in a 50
Both drivers deserve to lose their license
