RE: Speed and its impact

in Reflections • 3 months ago

Also got my driving license in 1986 but have been 18 ... 😉 So ... Hi you young man 😘

I think no matter how technique and security develops, some people will always go to the limit and risk their life?
You know Austria 30 / 50 inner cities, 100 overland and 130 kph the highways.
In the past normaly you could Drive roundabout 10-20 kph more without big troubles. But this changed a lot.

For example "Section control" haha reminds me of a friend! They first made section control area between Graz and Vienna. And in the middle of the two measure points there was a resting station 😂 so the friend decided to drive faster and just took a coffee break in the middle. And so the "whole time" was ok for the section.

Now there are much more cameras everywhere to control every step you (drive) make

Sort:  

Lol...you mean someone is actually older than me?!

We have section control too, average speed zone, it's called. They have so many different ways of catching drivers for speeding really, and they also use cameras for inattentive phone driving. People still do it though, and they pay the fines (which are huge).

I don't have a problem with speed limits, but I think they need to be sensible and well signposted which is not always the case.

No in Austria in general everything about speed limits is clear and well signed. So no problem with that, except you yourself can easily oversee you are to fast. I think with old cars we had better feeling on how fast we really drive.

When we have flying cars we won't need roads huh?

But would need more speed and other limits.
Reminds me of "the 5th element" you know the Chinese Cook flying with a ship, cooking fresh in front of the window? Yummi !

I know the movie and what you're referring to. Good movie!
