The United States 🇺🇸 Needs Aircraft Patrol Just Like In Canada 🇨🇦 And Speed Cameras Like In Australia 🇦🇺
Canada 🇨🇦 Air Craft Patrolled Australia 🇦🇺 Speed Cameras
The land of the dumbass!
Safety has increased drastically and accidents have decreased. This is a lie.
We need more police to ticket these people because I rarely see these people get ticketed.
Since Trump became president, there have been many natural disasters in the United States, and God must punish him! Because he shouldn't have been a president! His presidency is a disaster for the American people! His mother said that he was a man who was divided and morally corrupt! The American people must overthrow him! His entire family is selfish and greedy criminals!
Over 100 mph? Should lose your privilege to drive. Take your permit test and start all over again.
Hm..no wonder police have been around my area more. 😂
111 ? 😕 amateur speeders if ya wanna speed do it on empty road when you the only car there not when there is other cars around
How tf you gon crash if there less people to crash into… tf
Americans are so cute… ask aGerman what the speed limit should be on a straight and well maintained highway… the answer might surprise you😂
Too bad those who have decided to speed/race learn how stupid they've been only when it's too late…
Now imagine how people will drive in busy traffic after months of not doing so
Street racing is the best 😎🔥
In LA, heard mentality freeway speed was 75-80, now it's casually 90mph, and the speeders are doing 100mph+
Doesn't even feel like your doing 90, crazy.
For the people who have to drive during this pandemic, they get treated to lighter traffic, and you idiots find a way to ruin that, too.
I hate stupidity.
Speed bumps
Because what you have on the road is the idiots that don’t obey simple rules – oh and US citizens.
Boy your country looks like crap. Good luck getting your reputation back.
Keep trump lose the world!
We won’t want you in our Countries!
American speed up to catch up recovering convid19
Okay I have a LOT to say about this. First and foremost: DON'T go running red lights! I have personally done it a couple times, but NOT without stopping, looking both directions, waiting a few seconds and seeing absolutely NOBODY in either direction. Some traffic lights are just plain stupid, and if you're late for work (as I was) and there are no red light cameras (which are UNCONSTITUTIONAL), then please go right ahead. Second thing: I hate my home state, but it did get one thing right, and that's the California Basic Speed Law. Essentially, it says to drive the proper speed for the given conditions (without exceeding the speed limit, that's the only part I don't agree with). The speed limit is defined as the maximum speed for IDEAL road conditions. Driving with limited visibility, in inclement weather, or in moderate or heavy traffic will generally slow one down to below the speed limit. However, in areas with very light to no traffic at all, and with very few to no opportunities for merging (no intersections), and in unpopulated areas I think speed limited are absolutely unnecessary. Germany calls these kinds of roads its "autobahn". Sometimes they're referred to as "turnpikes" here in the states. I believe these are the types of roads where people should be free to let loose, and go whatever speed they feel they can handle (somewhere near the speed limit obviously, assuming there is no inclement weather or visibility issues AND NO distracted or drunk driving). It's important to note that interstates do NOT fit in this category, as they generally see much heavier traffic than other roads in the region. So yes, the people who weave between lanes going 20+ mph over the speed limit are IDIOTS and I hate them more than anyone! It's sweet sweet justice to see those degenerates several miles later on the side of the road with a cop flashing its lights parked behind them. That said, the far left lanes (sometimes known as the "express lanes") often have people who travel WITH the flow of traffic within that lane going 15+ mph over the speed limit. These are NOT the people who deserve to be pulled over! If traffic is lighter, the overall speed will increase; that's just traffic safety 101. It's the IMBECILES frequently changing lanes WHILE speeding who think they're better than everyone else that deserve a big fat ticket! So my motto is this: Speeding is NOT a crime! (Done responsibly)
Here in san antonio lots of assholes speeding every day.
Beat up that guy's voice a little bit and he'll sound just like Neil Sedaka
The Trumpy Dumpy Dingo Dummy Clown Show is Lawless just like speed maniacs
You ask why? People just don't care. Remember, 'my body, my decision'.
Fords are garbage.
I hate drivers like that.
Yo, I gotta get to the Trap….Move out the Way…Move Biotch lol
So my drive to work usually involves me going 65mph and takes me 27 minutes to get to work, now I can hit 130mph+ on some of the straights and I can get to work in under 20 minutes now, most of the time around 12-15 minutes.
You know what’s dangerous? All these idiots that haven’t driven in weeks let alone months out there giving it 100% on their maiden voyage back into the real world. All of us essential workers have to deal with these idiots.
Can someone adopt kitty and pet.me.please im living on a tree and bottom of cars at times its a sad life
Propaganda
Crazy for No reason
I like how germany has no speed limit I guess their just better at driving
How is driving 80 in a 65 reckless? …the problem is that the speed limits are too damn low. ….reckless driving is aggressive driving, not going slightly faster in a straight line.
Holy F*ck he says over a 100 miles !! I looked it was just 160 km/h. I have 1.6 l car with 105 horse power. I drive just that speed and all these Germans I share the Autobahn with pass me in like no time.
What happens when you prevent people from working……
Cannonball Run has a new record by about two hours just in the last few weeks.

Kind of like this insane Ct State Police Officer that threatened to throw someone off a bridge. Why because the cop was driving recklessly causing 2 separate people to flip him off till he flipped off.
Just watch the insanity for yourself
Oh yeah the governor of CT told cops to write more tickets.
