That's approximately 25 miles per hour, which, depending on the area, can be above the statutory speed limit.on city streets in the U.S.A. (which generally ranges from 20–30 M.P.H. by default). For reference 20 M.P.H. is about 32 K.P.H.

That would be a great relief, at least it's a stable speed.

I'm tired of having to dodge people who stop dead to merge onto the highway or go the speed of light in a parking lot

selfishness, obliviousness, stupidity. a potent cocktail of the three, i imagine.

Speed limits are usually maximums, not minimums. People can usually drive slower than that so long as they're not on a highway.

So yeah, I just looked up the speed limit and in Sydney it looks like they lowered the speed limit from 50 to 30 like a year ago, so that's probably why people are driving slower if you're expecting them to go 40.

Are people really this inept? They call it safety but this is absurd how can you not navigate the road at 40km/hr let alone anything over, Australians are turning into ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ at an insane level learn to drive this is crazy.

I encounter about 1 person in a month who is going unreasonably slow for the conditions and speed limit, and I encounter about 200 people who are going unreasonably fast for the conditions and/or the speed limit on every single drive.

That's literally what speed limit means. You're meant to be below it.


Sydney is not 30 km/h. It's a massive city with different kinds of roads.

Driving the speed limit is acceptable.
Driving 2x the limit is what people complain about.

No. Limits can be either lower bound or upper bound. You can be ticketed for driving too slow on a highway because those roads are meant for driving fast and there's an expectation that people are driving at least so fast, so driving too slow is a collision risk. Now posted speed limits are usually maximums though.

I'm crawling along at 20 because some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is blinding me with high beams in my rear view mirror. It aint safe to drive fast when there's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like that on the road, no sir. And there's no passing lanes around here. What a shame.

They´re also some kind of guideline which speed to use. Else the people become obstacles in traffic. Here You might pay a fee when You drive too slow without any reason.

Higher fees if You overtake others too slow. And You can´t use the Autobahn with a vehicle which can´t drive faster than 60km/h.

Tractors are the worst for this lol.

We have a lot of deer here and jaywalkers in this one spot between housing and one of the grocery stores. They really should have put some sort of light there or something because they are right next to each other and I can see the temptation to just walk over. Can't even be mad at them about it.

Me personally if you wanna overtake me then just do it. I ain’t going over the speed limit. And if police wanna pull me over then we can fight it in court. I’m gonna hire a lawyer that won’t be paid until we win.

Courts would agree that my driving was lawful and within the limits, objectively speaking.
