minus-squareskulblakalinkfedilink29•2 months agoYou ever tried to pull over an entire freeway full of cars at once?
minus-square@AreaKode@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•2 months agoA single cop car on the side of the road can get everybody to magically follow the speed limit.
minus-square@Einstein@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink14•2 months agoThat’s really dependant on location. I have had plenty of road trips up and down the I5 where groups of cars pass cops on the side of the road going 80, and no one slows down and the cops do nothing. Source: I’m one of those drivers.
minus-squareLousyCornMuffinslinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-22 months agosame on I10. that bit in texas where the limit goes up to 80 is nice tho
