Should there be restrictions put on vehicles that are not far from maximum speed limits?

yes why because many accidents happen because of how high they can go in speed. write this and just support it with many details

the speeds are too small, so classical mechanics should be fine:\n\nthe speed of the car is 45-10 = 35mph

You wouldn't make it.  The constant reckless driving charges for driving too slow would make you eventually loose your license.

Normal driving speeds should be acknowledged during transport.  However, if the officer is in proximity of another 911 he can exceed the speed limit in order to respond.\n\nDuring a routine traffic stop I was once arrested for "not having drivers license on person."  Which is a discretionary ticket.  I had left work on the night shift for lunch and left my purse in my locker?   I was hand cuffed behind my back and placed in the car.\n\nThe officer received a call to respond to a possible drug related incident?  He flew 120 MPH to a house in the country.  I sat in the back seat while they busted a house.  The officer came to the patrol car and told me to lay down.  I asked if he could loosen the cuffs because they were cutting into my wrists?  He said he couldn't do that.  The officer put the drug dealer in car with ME.\n\nThen he drove like a bat out of hell for 20 minutes to get to the station.  I even asked the officer if he had to drive so fast, and could he legally do that?  He said "I can in this case".\n\nI mentioned this when I went to court?  The fine for my misfortune should have been release upon ICS or ISS or what ever they call into?  My court fine?  $900!\n\nI would say that the officer can validate his speed by any means of responce and/or immediate call for assistance.

Yeah. Since some people break the speed limit laws, I should get to murder people.\n\nJust because someone else wrongs, that doesn't justify allowing people to continue to break the law.\n\nThat's hypocritical: Having laws and not enforcing them.

Well, heres just one thought.  Car companies sell cars all over the world, and in many countries, speed limits are more of a guidline.  There are places all over Europe where you can drive pretty much as fast as you want.\nHow would they stay competitive in the industry if they only sold to Americans?  We are not the only consumers.

Anything over 30MPH the speed limit is considered wreckless driving. So if you're going to speed, no more than 29 over!

Maybe not a maximum age, but require a physcial driving test every 5 years or so for everyone. I know people who are stiil young and should be able to drive, but that could probably use a refresher course.

Yes but that is DIFFERENT it is for government purpose, most governments are hypocrites they all want you to do as they say but not what they do. Have you seen those nice cars they all ride around in, not exactly your average 1300 model.

i'm sure it does have a limit.\n\npro riders are usually fairly short..but i guess that size only matters at the top level as you'll still be able to go very quick so your riding ability will make a huge difference.

I don't know about the rest of the country, but speed traps on highways are very popular where I live.  Some towns finance over half of their annual budgets with speeding tickets to out-of-town drivers.

I was once given a ticket for going five miles over in a school zone (the exit to the school zone was not clearly marked on the road, and I began speeding up as I believed I was exiting the school zone). In Texas, you are allowed to take defensive driving for the dismisal  of a ticket (even speeding in a school zone, such as my ticket). And although it's a tedious way to spend an afternoon, I'd highly recommend defensive driving if it's an option, because you can actually use the voucher to also get a discount on your auto insurance - I checked this with the court, the defensive driving instructor and my insurance agency, it's completely legit!

On a stretch of road that ran straight for about 3.5 miles, I clocked a oncoming vehicle at 136mph. I had never had one that high and was wondering if the radar was not accurate. I reset it and it showed 147mph, to my luck another unit was behind me about 1.5 miles and was able too stop the vehicle. Needless to say no ticket issued, he was jail bound and his vehicle towed. Not had one that high since.

I really don't know the answer, but I seriously doubt that a speeding ticket would disqualify you from entering a university.  Otherwise, the student population would be 50% less than it is now throughout the nation.

It's a huge problem here, last month the cops set up a trap and arrested a bunch, they confiscated 8 cars they are keeping! They made a bunch of tickets too for illegal parts and unsafe cars. They deserve every charge they get, streets are made for driving, not racing, I don't care if there's no track around to go race legally, I've been into racing my whole life, I'm 42 years old and have NEVER raced on the street. My grandparents were both killed instantly by a speeding car. Just because you can drive a video game doesn't mean you're qualified to be a race car driver, it takes years of trained experiance behind the wheel of a REAL car to drive at high speeds, and even then it's not safe. If you ask any seasoned race driver if it's safe, you'll never get a yes, you'll get " It's about as safe as they can make it for the conditions we drive". Those conditions are a RACE TRACK driving with other drivers who have the same equipment and training you do. It's NOT a public road with regular cars, regardless of the roll cage you may have in your car, other's on that same road have a stock off the shelf car.I don't care how good you think you are behind the wheel, if you drive at high speeds on public roads, you're irresponsible and unsafe, putting peoples lives in danger for your own selfish thrills.
