honestly dash cams in every car will dramatically decrease road rage. when you know you are being monitored, you will tend to act less like a dumbass
Define your terms, because as defined by most ethical perspectives the law has little to do with being a better or 'worse' human being.
So when you gum up the lanes, that is you abusing the power you have when you are behind the wheel? Some sort of god complex? If you want to stop speeders, maybe you should become a cop. If you don't want to become a cop, maybe you should just mind your own business.
Report away, oh great reporter.No need. I can continue to do what's right, staunchly defend it, and report the rest of you to the police and laugh every time I see one of you have your lives negatively impacted by your own selfishness and stupidity. I do a little Irish jig every time I think of one of you losing your license or home or job because you're simply not evolved enough to earn a place in my society.
Found your problem right there.reasonable speed limits based on compiled research
You make the faulty assumption, as well, that the laws codify social norms and values properly. This is false. Again because of elite interest's influence on the legislative process laws are often at-odds not only with the public welfare, but also with general socially-constructed norms and rationality.Simple things with no appreciable negative impacts are simply an agreement to exist within a society.
ANYONE who remains within a societies boundaries, benefiting from the existence of that society, while refusing to be subject to its laws, is a poorer human being than one who either leaves, or abides. Purely by my own warrants and definitions of course.

They aren't. The social-influences that create our driving laws are unrelated to maximization of the public welfare.

Speed limits are a prime example of this. In many places the agreement to exist within the society of motorists is requires going against the law.
I'm from Texas, For me: they are the majority. (Houston, Dallas, San-Antonio, Austin, that's 16 million out of 25 million)I realize there are many many people who are utterly selfish, ignorant, and delusional and believe they have some kind of superpowers and are inherently entitled to drive however they want. Don't let yourself fall into the trap of believing they're a vast majority however.
Maybe. Or maybe it's self-righteous, pretentious, smug assholes in bastions of entitled, self-righteous, pretentious, smug assholeness that have a problem with people who speed?it's entitled selfish assholes in bastions of entitled selfish assholeness that have a problem with speed limits.
You can only have speed limits or impeding, you can't have both. Either you have to stay under a certain speed or you have to go fast enough not to disrupt traffic, there is no middle ground.
are you suggesting that 98% of the cars being 'impeded' are not exceeding/or attempting to exceed, the posted speed limit?
which law takes precedence?
or i guess they can just ticket everyone, sounds like a win-win
But we DO have both. And it works fine for people who have a brain.
No it is not a legal trap. And yes, as has already been pointed out a dzoen times in this thread, DOES exist.It creates a legal trap, and therefore can't exist under our legal system.
People MUST be able to avoid consequence by obeying the law, or law itself loses all meaning. Under the current perceived system there is NOTHING a citizen can do to be guaranteed avoiding a ticket.

This is just flat out wrong. You don't want a ticket? Stay under the speed limit and pull over. It's THAT FUCKING SIMPLE.

If you go to a party and someone passes a crack pipe to you, do you:
1) Say no thanks and/or pass it on
2) Drop it to the ground, stomp on it, destroying both the pipe and the drugs, because after all, crack is illegal!
If you do #1, you are a normal person. If you do #2, you are an epic douche.
When you feel the need to enforce your ideals on others by camping in the left lane because the guy behind you might wanna speed, you are basically an epic douche.

It's all context dependent and does not fall into your ideals-type model: I'm surprised you fail to see this.Anything else and the speed limit is the limit.
I'm not surprised you don't even understand the argument. You should be driving in the rightmost lane unless you are actively passing someone. Speed limit has absolutely nothing to do with it.Apparently it's not since some people are demanding that the ONLY place you can legally drive the speed limit is the farthest right lane, which is simply not true. The only place you're required to pull over is the farthest left (or 2 farthest left in some places) lanes. Anything else and the speed limit is the limit.

No, I shouldn't. I should be obeying the law and the suggested driving methods, which say I should do exactly what I do. YOU and people like you are wrong, and its because you're ignorant, selfish assholes. 100%.
100% legit, I looked into it.No, I shouldn't. I should be obeying the law and the suggested driving methods, which say I should do exactly what I do. YOU and people like you are wrong, and its because you're ignorant, selfish assholes. 100%.
