I’ve been driving for 6 years, both as an Uber driver and as a cargo van driver (delivery driver). In my opinion, speeding on the highway is relatively safe. However, speeding in residential areas is not acceptable due to the presence of children. Most auto collisions, based on my observation, occur on roads with stop signs, during tailgating, on snowy, foggy, or rainy days, or at poorly designed and complicated intersections such as multiple-lane traffic circles (roundabouts). Catching speeders on a bright, sunny day seems to be a waste of time, in my opinion.

I agree. Speed limits on US roads, especially highways, haven’t kept up with the modernization of vehicles that can travel at greater speeds much more safely than older model cars. Better breaking, better suspension, greater controlled acceleration, and overall better handling. While on the thruway here in upstate NY in see the average driver, doesn’t matter what age, race or gender going 10 or more above the posted speed limit which can vary from 55 to 65. I usually try to not go higher than 10 over since you run the risk of getting stopped (I learned this by doing 92 in a 65😮😅). I was respectful and luckily the trooper let me off with a seat belt ticket in place of a speeding ticket.

Roads and traffic law are still living in 1956. Meanwhile, vehicle safety and technology easily allows for speeds at 80mph. With all the taxes collected by CT in 7 decades, you'd think perhaps they could modernize interstates to allow for higher speeds. But then again, that would put a dent in their revenue collection.

[@kirk1618]

They did have a chance. Your gas tax is supposed to be for funding the highways. Years ago, in the 70s, the politicians decided to put the fuel tax proceeds into the general fund. They spent the money on other things other than roads and bridges. The interstates were still fairly new and didn't need much for maintenance and upgrades. Instead of collecting and investing for the future, the money has been spent, the fuel tax increased, the addition of the state income tax, and much more. What do you, as a CT taxpayer have to show for it? An antiquated highway system, funds piddled away, and more revenue generating schemes coming from your state government. I know, I was there in the 70's, 80's, and 90s. I heard the promises, saw the removal of the tolls on 95, have seen the perpetual construction. We left. I don't even like going back to visit. The traffic is insane. Who would have ever thought I-95 would be stop and go from NY to RI? Anyone with a little fore thought would have. Now there is so much traffic, safety regulations, and behind the 8 ball, CT will never be able to afford bringing the CT interstates to modern standards.

Sometimes to ensure a seamless accident free merge I’ve had to hit 100 or 110 mph cause they’re trying that hard to edge me out

[@rjobrien7805]

Widespread lack of lane discipline is a major issue. Faster cars passing on the right, slower cars camped out in the left lane.

[@robertwells6724]

About time!!

[@mikemrod-7167]

Most speed limits on US roads are stuck in the bygone era. Modernization of vehicles now allow for greater speeds at a safer cost than before. Technological advancements ranging from better breaking systems, better controlled acceleration, better arrow dynamics and overall better handling equate to being able to handle higher speeds more safely than older model cars.

[@michaeldooley3396]

The modern cars may be equipped for higher speeds, but our dilapidated roadways and overall infrastructure are not!

[@Marc816]

The politicians want to protect their SPEEDING TICKET BUSINESS!!!!!!

[@sabbath7081]

This has been going on for about 4 years now it's highly dangerous and rather annoying when you're doing 74 mph and a car goes by you so fast that you can feel the concussion, how irresponsible and narcissistic is it to drive like that. Unacceptable that should be attempted murder charge.

[@jll2k1us]

A normal drive on a German Autobahn, yet they have better safety statistics because of better driver training. Huge numbers of US drivers are disturbingly unqualified and incompetent.

[@pbear216]

I say we eliminate speed limits altogether. It will seperate the good drivers from the bad.

[@Jacob-he1lg]

It would certainly be crazy for a while.

[@AB-tc8lx]

I thought you did not have to stop for a unmarked police car for citizen safety. If the car is not marked as a police car, it could be anybody pulling a scam.

[@petemolnar6073]

Interesting every time I drive thru Connecticut from NJ. Ct drivers are doing speed limit in left passing lane and do not move over.

[@jlover911]

CT drivers suck!!!!!!!!

[@anthonyf.9170]

There is NO law enforcement presence on CT highways. People are out of control. Very dangerous people out there. It’s ridiculous!

[@richardstephens9647]

It is way past time to hold auto makers accountable for making the high HP cars in the 1st place. Consumers are dying.

[@madeintheusa9744]

Policy revenue collection agents

[@GixxerRider1991]

Modern cars are more than capable of doing 90+ safely. The problem is left lane campers and truckers with governors taking 20 miles to pass. It's all about money.

[@samjohnson1061]

So I guess now that if you own a good looking sporty style car you are to be stereotyped into going fast???😢

[@matthewcaughey8898]

Sometimes you have to get up to 90 mph just to merge in. See the car beside you is unintentionally speeding up to keep you from getting ahead of them, while the car behind you is speeding up to merge in themselves. Therefore my only option is to floor it and merge in. Once I’ve merged in I can adjust my speed, but until you do something about the aggressive drivers who move to cut off others you’ll never stop the speeding problem

[@francisjsantana]

Ppl camp the left lane wayyy too much so yeah ppl get desperate and pass on the right. Going the speed limit on the PASSING lane should be illegal. But I-95 doesn’t have this extreme problem because of all the traffic 🤣🤣 unless it’s off-peak time like 11pm or 12pm

[@mysteryyyyyy]

what about targeting the trucks i regularly witness going 75-90?

[@lh5943]

They should never be allowed to drive anything more powerful than a golf cart when they're caught, along with a lengthy prison term. If they were allowed to breed, their offspring should not be allowed to drive either.

[@russs250]

I blame it on the judicial system, slap on their hands , pay a lawyer a few hundred dollars and get it reduced to an equipment violation.

[@lfdvidinc]

The cars are being made faster and no politician does anything,, that’s a weapon,, yet they will disarm the whole state for one kid

[@flyer617]

As someone who drives those highways I fully support these efforts. I have literally called them while driving to demand they enforce the laws.

[@jessgarc-sd6oh]

Why the f*** don't you just put a limit on all vehicles for 70 mi an hour from the manufacturer😮😮😮

[@magellanmax]

A TV station staffed with old folks...you only see that on traditional mainstream media...

[@DailyBoundRacing]

its going to be like NY at this point, the I91 is filled with many cars without plates. As Ive seen BMWs doing up to 140 with heavy traffic. Its not the cars, its the drivers.

[@Anonymous-pm7jf]

Crack down for one week a year. The rest of the year it's a free for all.

[@milesff7]

That’s what happens when there is zero law enforcement.

[@georgeford6439]

If I ever get stopped in the Connecticut, I hope it is Trooper Booker...

[@Joe-d1y]

Drove on I-95 North thru New Haven this Saturday Nite and I almost died from several cars muscling me into the guard rail because they didn't want to wait for a pass and then to get over. I have never seen anything like those CT. drivers in my 40 years of driving. And not a single police car in sight.
