Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / January 2007Unusually slow speed limits!
And you thought 5 mph was slow. http://mylandofmisery.com/misc-photos/SL%205.jpg I found some even slower than that. Aunt Judy, don't start drooling over it! :) A 2 mph sign in Oregon via waymarking.com. http://www.waymarking.com/wm/details.aspx?f=1&guid=123ec275-a4b5-4338-8255-b42d1 7dde7c7 Also via waymarking.com, one in the UK. http://www.waymarking.com/gallery/image.aspx?f=1&guid=175bc460-a84e-4ffb-8e86-8b 1ea8deb5a4 The above 2 signs, given average walking speed, makes ALL drivers and pedestrians subject to citation risk. As opposed to one that would make necromancer and Scott drool: Mach 10 in NM (an AF base). http://www.waymarking.com/wm/details.aspx?f=1&guid=64dd771f-b61d-4f4c-9da4-184df 0960878 > And you thought 5 mph was slow. > http://mylandofmisery.com/misc-photos/SL%205.jpg [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > in NM (an AF base). > http://www.waymarking.com/wm/details.aspx?f=1&guid=64dd771f-b61d-4f4c-9da4-184df 0960878 You can't drive too slow. And a speeder cannot be given too harsh a penalty.

In some places it is actually illegal to drive too slow. In Missouri, for example, the minimum on the Interstates is 40 mph. In Illinois the minimum on the Interstates is 45. It may not hurt to research the speed laws; different states have speeds that are considered reckless. http://www.mit.edu/~jfc/laws.html has the breakdown. Some states do allow for jail time at around 20 over the limit. Ladies and Gentlemen (and I use those words loosely), MLOM said in rec.autos.driving: > I see the lure worked. ;) Good one.

You try going too slow and the cops will flag you as a drug runner (sometimes called a DWB stop).  Signature"Oh yeah.

Let's start with *you!* If you are wondering why I say that, allow me to refresh your pathetic goat semen addled little memory with this gem from the .sig archives: Signature-- Loco Laura Bush murdered her boyfriend (a.k.a.

In fact i got a speeding ticket about 5 years ago for doing 41 in a 25. I just about kicked the cops teeth in cause i was sure he was lying.

This applies to very slow drivers as well as those going above the posted limit. That is obvious to anyone!

Anyone else again (or disagree) Upon further examination, judging by the sign, it appears to have been a recycled Texas state route marker (the only state that has the rectangular shield with state name below the text). It looks to me like a zero on the right, and the 2 probably painted over a 4 (thus likely TX 40 marker). The sign does look quite old. When I first learned to drive, Ashland (Mass) had a ten mph limit in some parts of town. (1950's) The best one I saw was in the Los Gatos / SDaratoga area on NorCal, on a quick left-right two lane road curve. The accident rate dropped quite a bit, despite the added traffic of the folks going there just tom see the sign. Hey, Man, we were mellow - but that's another story. > And you thought 5 mph was slow.http://mylandofmisery.com/misc-photos/SL%205.jpg > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > As opposed to one that would make necromancer and Scott drool: Mach 10 > in NM (an AF base).http://www.waymarking.com/wm/details.aspx?f=1&guid=64dd771f-b61d-4f4c... |
