@NickD I would love to see a speed limit introduced in Germany with fines matching those in Switzerland

[NickD]

@Tago-Mago I'm sure that should go in the unpopular opinions thread...

[Brian]

I think almost every country needs to rethink speed limits as they are all based still on a antiquated car with drum brakes and no thought to to modern cars, speed doesn’t kill it’s the stopping or stupidity of the driver

[Tago Mago]

@NickD possibly, although even in a car-crazy country like Germany the attitude towards a general speed limit has changed over the years

[NickD]

Cameras and speeding fines are very unpopular in the UK, but drivers have slowed down over the years, especially on motorways.

@NickD hard to drive quickly when you're stuck in first gear for 2 hours on the M25

[ARNC]

@AdamJ it is sometimes possible to make it to second gear! Still the soles of my office shoes always wear out faster on my clutch foot.

@NickD especially the ones who feel the need to perform an emergency stop whenever they see a speed camera

[NickD]

The M25 is a one of the reasons I now drive an auto.

[louisbosco]

@NickD yes. depending on the type of road and the amount you're over by. at some stage the fines are based of your income.

a3 to m25 junction gets on my nerves every time after leaving gosport. wonder if that shit show has been completed

[AdamJ]

@louisbosco It is still there in all it's glory!

@NickD I don't drive far anymore but since changing to an automatic, it's a game changer

@NickD I wonder if they do wealth-proportional fines (as it should be)?

Beautiful car.

I may need to be locked out of this thread for a while…can I be “thread banned”?

[goosehd]

I will highly suggest to everyone to not do it as I don’t want to hand out time outs.

[tody]

But you'll surely let us mindlessly scream for a little while, right?

[SKT]

I am using all the “anti-rant” power in my being. My love of the forum is giving me the strength to resist…

[goosehd]

I would, but someone always takes it too far…and then it’s cleanup and reminders.

The Sistine Chapel of being a self absorbed asshole

Looks like the church of SUVs

@mclaincausey the distance between those mirrors is still slightly wider than a standard airplane seat.
