It seems to me like you're struggling to empathise with people that speed 😂( which if you don't drive is completely fair 😂)

But yeah I agree it's not a good excuse for speeding, just trying to say that putting a sign up is not very effective. It's better than nothing though and a good first step.

But adding speed cameras, while it might help a bit to reduce speeds, it's not very effective, and a much better solution would be removing the root cause of the problem: car centric infrastructure.

Speed cameras don't prevent people from speeding, they just punish people after the fact, whereas better designed roads prevent it from even happening in the first place.

I hope we come to view this as a lack of empathy.

It's not that at all, look at the road where it's happening... It's fucking 22 god damn meters(72 feet) wide from kerb to kerb, and the speed limit is 35mph(56kph)...

1000000623

The main issue is the road is very poorly designed.

Most physicists I've met would just use a 5.6 ohm resistor, or whatever they have on hand within an order of magnitude 😅

Lucky there was a sidewalk shed there to slow the car before it went through the window... And lucky there wasn't anyone on the footpath...

It's a bit like how in NZ you can order a "pint" of beer, and the bartender will fill up a random size glass around 400~700ml 😅: you can buy a 30" TV, and if you measure the diagonal, it's around 79-82cm 😅

As someone who occasionally drives a bmw, I agree.

When I have to drive somewhere, because there's no inter-city passenger rail where I live, I want to do it as comfortably as possible, and bmw is one good option for this(unfortunately I can't afford a Rolls and/or a chauffeur 😞)

Wouldn't that be more of a statue of unlimitations?

Yeah but they'll lose that business next quarter, and the current shareholders will have already sold thier shares by the time that's reported so it doesn't matter.

It's just a bias, not a rule. Looks like Nacho may have fallen asleep with leftward bia then half rolled over while asleep ?

this adds potentially another 5 km/h and a mostly false sense of security on top.

Not to mention how much more it weighs than an e-bike...
