I don’t get this: riding in the higher gears would keep your RPMs low and make it more difficult to accelerate quickly (and thus break traffic laws).
Am I missing something?
Yes you're missing that usually a higher gear means higher speed, for regular driving anyway
Right… so now we’re associating maintaining your speed using the normal higher gears with going to jail? That makes sense
The implied joke is obvious and has been around for a while. Why are you intentionally complicating it to act like it doesn't make sense? It doesn't make you seem smarter than the joke teller or anything.
The joke is many American rural area counties have a metric shit ton of speed traps to booster local funds
Yeah I actually drive stick and I’m not seeing the connection
