He did a couple of times recommend this guy who in two TED talks had segments about overpopulation which were as bad as you can imagine

Good to see that gun control discourse hasn’t evolved since 2013.

Unironically that belongs on the race track and not on the road, and all vehicles should be limited to like 120mph when not at a race track.

dude 200 km/h is already too much. Vehicles that don’t follow tracks and are conducted by random idiots shouldn’t go faster than 120 km /h

I was being lenient but yeah. Here the speed limit on highways is 120km/h/75mph, in some areas of the world 130kph/81mph, so the limit can’t be that low otherwise there would be no overtaking and it would make highway travel dangerous.

Also 120mph is 192km/h, not 200. I know the limiter in Japan for all road cars is 180kph/112mph. So around there or less is more realistic. Personally I think a limit at 160kph/100mph should still allow for pretty much all overtakes to be completed safely on the highway.

It’s generally legal to exceed the limit briefly for the purpose of overtaking, so long as it’s not sustained

You are not supposed to exceed the speed limit on the highway when overtaking. If the speed limit is 130 km/h and you’re already driving that you have no use for overtaking.

But how will I run from police choppers with 120km/h?

force = mass * acceleration

so if we want less people to die on roads, we should limit speed based upon mass of the vehicle

if you want to drive around in a metal cage that weighs more than a ton, then your speed limit is gonna be much lower than less massive vehicles

I like the spirit of it, but accidents happen because people have different velocities

Imagine getting stuck behind 2 buses trying to pass while going 6 and 6.2 mph on a 80 mph highway.

An extremely well functioning ambulance service, even in rural areas, is a prerequisite for this. So, not gonna happen lol :doomer:

Yeh nobody is trying to ban ambulances, nor firefighters trucks, nor disabled people’s cars, nor utilitary vehicles, nor rural areas cars, those are at most a 5% of all vehicles anyways.
