This works for me.

1. It will teach drivers to obey rules and not just speed limits 2. Drivers will be more alert and obey rules if there is a cop driving around. ABSOLUETLY!!!!! :appl: |
first of all, cbrige_accord,
you have a good case and i'm sure you'll get off. write down all details so you don't forget. do what others told you to do. you can totally use "your kind" as leverage, whatever he meant. even if it's not what he meant, he's an officer of the law and he should watch his language. he didn't. use it. secondly, moosexing,

I would rather police target more on traffic offences and target bad drivers that "think" they know how to drive. Most druggies only affect themselves or sometimes hurt one another anyway.

But none of this will ever happen.

Here are problems that drastically affect traffic flow: 1) HUGE FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE PROBLEM 2) Not enough time (ie people not leaving enough time to get to their destination in time, thus have to drive excessively fast to get there) This creates: - collisions (as drivers unable to stop in time for the vehicle in front) - rubber necking (as drivers "rubberneck" to get view of the crash, they cause another one themselves - unable to properly merge as driver's following too close, thus traffic is slowed, causing further following too close and irate driver's (as they are now late for wherever they are going) cutting into spots smaller than a vehicle itself So back to original food for thought: If drivers left at a earlier time (even 15 min) drove at or near the speed limit and left lots of space between themselves and another vehicle this would prevent congestion. Merging vehicle coming on at the speed limit would not slow down the express lanes, they would have ample room to merge, without "cutting someone off", with the increased space, if there happened to be a vehicle failure and slow, others would have time to react and not cause a collision OR....here's a combined thought have the speed limit increased by lane and enforced strictly as well as following too close, this might also prevent the zig-zagging of the lane changer ie (lanes numbered by left to right) Lane 1 140km/hr 2 120km/hr 3 100km/hr 4 80km/hr-100km/hr OR approach all automakers and have a sensor installed in all cars front bumper area, if you are withing "X" number of feet at "Y" speed the vehicle will not allow you to go any faster and follow too close........just a goofy thought :) |
