Not reasonable, perhaps, but theoretically understandable. The escalating price of just about everything implies an increase in value that, in most cases, is not delivered. So some folks simply create their own perks — giving vent to rage or breaking traditional rules of social conduct (i.e., doing whatever the hell they want.)
If you feel you are paying VIP prices, you may well expect to be treated like a VIP.
Unpopular opinion (for Americans in general) but I support a federal speed limit of 55mph, with that speed being only on separated highways like interstates. Max speed off-highway should be 45mph and only on wide and straight county roads. Change the penalty for speeding to a significant percentage of income with heavy enforcement and watch accident numbers go down by an order of magnitude. If people want to drive like suicidal (and homicidal) sociopaths, they should have to go to a closed track. I’d like to continue living after my car commute, which is the only option because a bus trip would take 3 hours and multiple changes (vs 25 minutes driving) and they don’t run late enough anyway.
That’s the thing, the speed limit for trucks is 60mph. This guy was speeding over the limit with two semi trailers full of wood pallets it was insane.
Man i get anxiety doing that in American truck simulator how are people doing that irl wtf
I’ve got an old fleet vehicle with a governor on it. Doesn’t go over 63. I get on the highway and just sit in the right lane while the world passes me by. It’s incredibly less stressful than trying to keep up with the flow of traffic while people weave in and out around you.
This is what I do, too. Get up to 60 and set the cruise control. At 60 I get ~35mpg vs 80 (typical speed for everyone else) at ~25mpg. Then there’s the people with lifted trucks flooring it going 95-100 who probably get less than 5mpg. And they haven’t seemed to decrease in number despite the price of gas doubling in the past two years. I can’t understand being so into machismo that they spend $25+/day on gas.
I feel you, but in the opposite way. Having to drive an aging pick-up truck with a tank full of sloshing pesticide and a rough drive over 70 mph in Chicago traffic was a nightmare.
