    Yeah, we get it. You think any limit on you doing exactly as you please at all times irrespective of the consequences to others is somehow a massive violation of your human rights.

      Dude, I don’t like speeding as much as the next guy. You miss the point though. Aggressive driving paired with high speed is a problem. If someone wants to move more quickly than me on a highway it’s no problem. It becomes an issue when someone is being excessively dangerous. You talk like going 1mph over the speed limit is a moral failure when in reality you’re mad at the wrong person.

        No, you miss the point.

        The problem is cars existing at all as personal transportation. The solution is to make driving as miserable a fucking experience as possible until the ecocidal narcissists finally give up. They’ll never choose the right thing over their own convenience, so the wrong thing needs to be made far more inconvenient.

        I’m in favor of absolutely anything that forces drivers to follow traffic laws, even when they could otherwise get away with not doing so, because it will piss off the worst people on the world and also save pedestrian and cyclist lives.

          Making life worse for the average person only to annoy a few assholes? Again, that is extremely authoritarian.

            If the average person is negatively affected in any way by rules meant to keep pedestrians safe, then the average person is one of those assholes and they aren’t all that few.

            All laws are “extremely authoritarian”. I find it a lot more authoritarian that regular, non-ecocoidally-narcissistic people have to cross the street only when it doesn’t inconvenience carholes very much than it would be to take action to stop carholes from speeding.

              Then your expectations are wildly out of proportion. You wont be happy unless the speed limit is 1 and only a maniac would dare disagree

                And your expectations are totally in line with the average dumbfuck in the world today who is incapable of understanding the difference between “everyone does this” and “doing this is ok”.
