I've never understood why people pick on drivers under the speed limit. It's called a limit, why do we expect people to be over it?
There are speed limits in both directions, in every jurisdiction I'm familiar with it's illegal to drive both too fast and too slow, to exceed the posted speed limit or to drive so slowly that it impedes other traffic.
Oh, that's very interesting. Where I live there are only upper speed limits on most roads except highways. On other roads you can drive as slowly as you want, though everyone will overtake you if they can or honk at you if you don't.
Are you sure that you really don't have any traffic rules against causing a hazard or impeding traffic flow by being too slow? That seems both unusual and unsafe to me.
Where I’m from an officer can always pull you over for “reckless driving” or “impeding traffic”. The argument can literally be made that you’re driving dangerously no matter how fast you go. These days I just stick to the literal posted speed (as long as road conditions and traffic allow) and I’ll let a lawyer defend me from any citations. I stay in the slow lane and am constantly getting passed but I’ll be damned before I get another ticket for going 6 over.
Well, that's certainly true also in every jurisdiction I'm familiar with, as it should be, common sense, really.
Idk I don’t think an officer should have the right to pull over a person driving the posted speed limit in clear weather with no other proximate reason but maybe I’m insane.
That all depends on what you actually mean by "no other proximate reason".
I think we all agree that the police should take immediate action if someone is driving the wrong direction against traffic, even if they're doing nothing else wrong and are driving the posted speed limit, to take an absolutely obvious example.
That’s being a little purposely obtuse as that is obviously putting other drivers in danger. I mean that I shouldn’t have to worry about being pulled over if the radar gun says I’m driving the speed limit, obeying traffic laws, and driving a vehicle that is road legal and well maintained.
Yet an officer absolutely can pull me over and ruin my day and waste my time and money making me go to court over absolutely nothing and the absolute worst that can happen to them is a slap on the wrist if anything.
because they are assholes who think anyone going slower than them is stupid and they are very smart and the speed limit should not apply to such very smart people.
Depending where it is, a figure of speech up to a certain point of where they actual enforce it, most cops don't even go the speed limit on some roads and highways.
They're low and out dated as fuck, and mostly just a money grab, again, depending on the street and the limit, for example excluding in front of schools and parks
