Where is the limit?

Ever drive on our local highways and think how silly the speed limit rules are? by the way, have anyone actually follow the speed limit? Who does? and what makes your speedo meter so accurate?

I have once traveled with my dad encountered a cops saying that we have exceed the speed limit of 2 km/h. We were going 82km/h on a 80km/h zone... oh geez. Like 2 more km/h will make any difference. Moreover there have been lesser or no accident on that STRAIGHT road.

Have you even wonder where some places where the road is perfectly safe and straight have the most ridiculous speed limit, 60km/h!! and the most dangerous roads that have cliffs and bumps and curves allows you to go 90 or 110km/h??!! Kinda silly aint it. Some places they even expect you to drive at a speed limit of 25km/h! cmon! even my grandmother on bicycle goes faster then that! Who makes this rules??!! who sets this limit?

Well our country's highest speed limit is 110km/h. Thats our main highways the PLUSes, ELITEs, and many more. Then why do we actually make cars that can hit 220km/h? why dont they just tweak the cars to go only max 110km/h just like our motorbikes? Doesnt make sense aint it? If the cars are made to go max 220km/h or more that means the govt are actually in a way encouraging people to drive faster rite? If not why make cars that can go that fast? to show off?

Then what is the speed limit implemented for then? To avoid accidents? HEY!! heroes. Most road accidents are not from people that drive fast. You dont see any rich Dato with their SLKs or Harriers crash and die also. They drive at a almost unimaginable speed on the highways and still reach their destination safe and sound. Its usually those with Kancils or Saga's that bang on lorrys or lost control and crash into a ditch on... SMALL roads!! that causes the accidents. They should implement a intelligence limit on the road instead. Those who cant think and react to certain situation should not enter highways. Or those with a so called tuned-up-crap-car-thinking-that-its-a-super-high-performance-car-but- ended -up-as-a-8th-hand-1980's-normal-model-family-sedan-car- that-is-nothing-but-a-old-family-car- with -new-spoilers, skirting-and-weird-looking-crystal-lights on the road. This is the cars that should be speed limited!

Then again, they should implement driving fast on highways as a health hazard. Just like smoking. Put a sign right after the toll that says "Amaran dari Kerajaan, Memandu dengan laju merbahayakan nyawa" thats all!! If you are the dumb f**k that knows you got a crap car or a turtle like reaction dun drive so fast or else you will die! And if you drive fast and then ended up crashed and burned, its your fault for being careless. Then the cops or govt can say "We warned you but you are too dumb to listen!"

Driving fast will not only harm you but the people around you? Doesnt smoking does that too? doesnt just driving the car and releasing carbon monoxide too?

Or why not have this system where the fast lane have a min speed limit of above 100km/h only, so slow cars can you please drive on the middle lane where the max speed is 100 and min limit is 80km/h. and the slow lane is for those who drives the super long trailer that is really really slow or those that dont know the meaning of driving and enjoying the car ride. See? problem solved.

Thats what i think. But again its just me... who would listen to me??!!
