Noone's saying that it should be. Let's leave aside the official mantra for a minute and apply some common sense. "Safe speed for the conditions" should be a speed where you are in control of your car at all times and can respond to foreseeable danger in a timely manner. Put another way, a speed in which you pose little risk to yourself and other road-users. Do you agree with that?
actually, i think it's the speed at which the average driver will be able to appropriately control the vehicle and be able to stop sufficiently quickly to avoid an accident.
That's what I mean by the slippery slope of self-righteous justification. The difference between our society and Nazi Germany is that we are (for now) two steps removed from that 'final solution'.
for the last fucking time. controlling driver speeds has nothing to do with killing people based on ethnic or religious differences. in fact, it has nothing to do with killing people at all. stop comparing your whiny problem to genocide, you putz.
