Can a speed limit be unjust?


Of course. There is such a thing as a minimum speed for efficient traffic flow. Nothing's more frustrating than being forced to drive slowly. It actually causes road rage.


What about being forced to drive? Every time I find myself in a car in the USA I consider it a failure of local government to provide an actual good means for me to get where I'm going. In other countries I can go somewhere while relaxing and reading a book.

The speed limit conversation seems a distraction. Why drive at all? It's annoying.


Gotta agree with you. I hate driving.

I hate dealing with the other humans on the road and the stupid things they do. I hate the constant uncertainty, not being able to assume anything because people don't even signal turns properly. I hate the roads, poorly maintained, full of speed bumps, full of potholes, full of people walking around without a care in the world. I hate having to maintain my car.

I hate being forced to drive. I only do it because I hate other forms of transport even more.
