There are a lot of cases where rules are a bit too strict, and it's expected you might violate them where they don't make sense - though if you do, you might be putting yourself at risk, and if something happens, the rule might protect anyone else involved.

But what pisses me off is that speed limits are consistently ignored. People might get mad at you for driving the speed limit. Either the limits are set stupidly low and need to be changed, or society needs to get its shit together and stop endangering people. Probably both.

There's been experiments around changing speed limits. What they found is that people consistently speed by about a constant amount over the posted limit, so they keep the posted limit lower, and have all enforcement be at around 10mph over it.

Yay path dependence!
