The entitlement of some Ontario drivers is absolutely astonishing. They are fully aware that you are breaking the law by going 15% over the speed limit. And yet they victimize themselves? (lemmy.world)

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

This sense of entitlement is insane.

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.
