I’ll note when I was in Arizona and began driving almost everyone drove the speed limit there with a few exceptions. Driving here it’s flipped, few drive the speed limit. Here I take my life in hands doing the speed limit on the freeways as cars come up behind me doing 20+ the speed limit. Of course I am used to that riding my bike, so no big deal really but it is kind of ironic that I can have a longer line of cars behind me trying to pass driving then what I have ever had riding my bike.<\/p>\n But what I really want to point out that the chance for survival from being hit by a car is cut in half when when the vehicle is traveling 40 vs 30 mph. My thoughts today have been on the tragic death of Tom Palermo, sure DUI is bad, texting is bad all of which lead to the driver striking Tom but I’ll give you this thought… it was the speed of the vehicle that killed Tom. Traffic enforcement is a joke in this state especially those that can help improve the safety of bicyclists and pedestrians. Crosswalk stings, virtually nonexistent enforcement of the 3 foot passing rule, again nonexistent. At least come out twice a year and make some effort, some news, some something, please! ]<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Eric Ravenscraft, Life Hacker … Distance Speed Limit Speed +10 Time (in minutes) Time w\/Speeding Savings 15 35 45 25.71 20 5.71 15 45 55 20 16.36 3.64 15 55 65 16.36 13.85 2.51 … https:\/\/lifehacker.com\/does-speeding-really-get-you-there-any-faster-1556767685 [B’ Spokes: And this does not take into account traffic lights, which are the great equalizer of speeds. … <\/p>\n
