That was GREAT. It just prove another point. When the roads were made we didnt have cars the way we do now. a car can stop within seconds no matter how fast the car is going. If you are driving safe at 85mph then why get a ticket?????? I was going at 30-35mph in a 30mph zone running out of gas (the entire NYC is limit to 30mph) and I got a ticket because the cop said i was doing 49mph. word vs word u know who win. that is the only speeding ticket I gotten in 9 years I been driving. What is funny is I was doing the speed limit and I had tons/hundreds of cars behind me and zero in front all because I was doing the speed limit.
THEY NEED TO INCREASE THE SPEED LIMIT OR FIND A BETTER SOLUTION
like ticket the unsafe drivers only.
IMAGINE THE NEW TECHNOLOGY THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT so they can ticket cars who go over speed limit!! omg traffic from hell.
if 4 cars can do so much damage imagine every single car in us driving at the speed limit. is amazin how stupid people are.

i didn't watch the video, but it sounds like they just drive the speed limit and block all lanes across. which is stupid. it proves nothing.
everyone driving the speed limit DOES NOT EQUAL four idiots blocking all lanes at the speed limit, while everyone else tries to speed.
the truth is, although the limit could be higher, if everyone followed it, there would be less traffic, less accidents, less gas wasted, etc. that's the point.
and besides, i speed to work doing 85, vs. cruising at 65, and it makes no real difference in how fast i get there. however, if i get into an accident, i'm going to cause a huge backup, which i'm more likely to do at 85.
