Yep! I made an account on my current instance after starting on one of the bigger ones. I still have my old one just in case. But now that some of the smaller communities I followed have started coming in it feels identical!
Yeah, I have heard of that and tried using it but I couldn’t get it to run. I just ended up doing it manually as I didn’t have that many communities anyways.
I still drive the speedlimit on GPS measurement (and when available those speed measure points next to roads), but if some asshole is going like 20 over then I slow down to 1 km/h below on the dash.
I just put the speed limiter to the limit +2 km/h, why +2? Because radars won’t pick that small difference and drivers usually when trying to go to the limit they go a liitle bit faster and it’s annoying to have people pass you all the time.
It IS satisfying sometimes watching some asshole try to weave in and out of lanes to get ahead in your mirror, only to just barely miss being able to cut you off and have to get in behind you.
Surprised this is getting as many upvotes as it is. It totally depends on context. I’ve seen posted 35 mph speed limits on 6 lane roads where every is going minimum 50mph, even with cops in the flow of traffic. I’ve also been on 2 lane roads (e.g opposing traffic is directly next to you) and the posted speed limit is 55mph.
If you’re doing the speed limit in the second one, well done. If you’re going 15-25mph below the flow of traffic in the middle or fast lane, because of a posted speed limit, that’s a problem.
Well yeah, they were going below the speed limit. That creates dangerous conditions.
If they were doing 65 in a 65 and everyone else was doing 85, the cops can’t do shit because they’re literally following the law.
And if my going the speed limit is “dangerous”, then it’s the regulations that are wrong. Not me. They should change the speed limit if it’s a problem for me to follow the posted laws. I’m not the one causing danger, the law is.
Legally that’s literally what it is - a cop has the legal authority to pull you over for going 1 mph over the speed limit and give you a ticket for it. Obviously in the real world the enforcement of speed limits is way different from the actual letter of the law, but it’s really no trouble for me to just match my speed to the speed limit. It’s not like speeding actually saves you that much time.
No, I’m pointing out how seem to think going below the limit is also a crime that cops can pull you over for.
They can ticket you for unsafe driving if you’re going significantly below the speed of traffic. And in my area there is actually a minimum speed on the freeways.
But the way you worded it made it sound like you think you have to go exactly the speed limit at all times.
That’s smart lol All it does for me is make me think I’m going crazy when trying to subscribe to a .world instance for the first time right after it goes down, since it doesn’t load
