Overtaking does require going pretty fast to be done quickly, so they have an overall point that speed limiters set at the speed limit would de facto prevent overtaking. The rest of it is gibberish, and personally I’m fine with banning cars entirely let alone this quibbling lib minutia about speed limits but let’s be honest and say no overtaking with limiters

If you can't overtake safely within the speed limit you can't overtake safely.

So people cannot overtake. Just say it instead of hiding behind riddles

no you can overtake someone going far enough below the speed limit that overtaking them doesn't mean speeding

Never had this happen in my 20+ years of driving in rural areas outside of buses and tractors and the like. Any sedan or passenger car or anything like that going ~10 under the limit requires speeding or you will get in a head-on collision.

So just be honest and say no overtaking other personal passenger vehicles

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
