"I hate these damn bike lanes. Screw your studies. I'm not reading that"

"Fuck speed limits. I'm proud to break the law"

This sense of entitlement is insane.

There is a sign that says the limit of the road. There is a sign that says there is a speed camera in use. If they keep getting tickets thats their fault as a driver. Blame whatever you want but they weren't reading the road signs and they weren't following the limit. Who cares if some asshole gets upset the I'm doing the limit. I stay in the right lane and they can pass me if they want.

If one guy ignores the law it’s his fault. If everybody ignores the law then it’s the law’s fault. If everyone ignores a speed limit sign then the sign is not working. Simple as that!

You should care if some asshole road rages at you and inflicts violence on you, the way a driver did to my dad when he was following a speed limit on a road people routinely speed on (which has seen extensive modifications over many years to try to combat speeding). It’s terrifying and extremely dangerous.
