Maybe your local government could do proper planning so that convenient and timely public transit would offer her a viable alternative to driving? Let’s not blame individuals for systemic problems.
Other way around dude, roads are Congested from people already ignoring the highway since it’s going to be bad. Pick your poison.
And there is okay public transport, some people just prefer the “freedom” of driving. Even the best public transport isn’t going to make it across town in the same amount of time as a non-lighted highway. Too many stops.
You seem to have such a narrow view and understanding of the complexities of transportation and just want to bloviate about being anti car.
I’m leaving this conversation now, there’s no good that will come from trying to educate you, since you wouldn’t want to be, to set in your ignorance.
If it makes you feel better to believe that, go ahead. For my part, I think it’s a pretty obvious truth that when the government makes an open-access highway for everybody to use, everybody is going to use it, even in ways you may not like. Especially when it makes driving the fastest and most convenient way to get around. (Making driving on the highway faster than public transit requires lots of infrastructure, and was a deliberate policy choice.)
It’s a speed limit, as in “go no faster than this.” Speed minimums are a different law. On surface streets speeding doesn’t even save you any time because of traffic lights. You might get a cycle or two ahead, but you still end up waiting at a light with everyone else.
Every country has similar laws, you understand this yeah? It’s not like America is unique in this lmfao.
There was also more than one point, but of course you would focus on one and try to discredit it, but you failed miserably. You also didn’t even quote the whole thing, which goes on to explain more restrictions that got universally. You’re just a bitter person aren’t you?
Example, the Uk
While there is no specific national minimum speed limit in the UK,
driving too slowly can be illegal if it is deemed to be inconsiderate, dangerous, or causes an obstruction to other road users. Police can penalize drivers for driving without due care and attention,
This is easily googleable, and every country has legislation you can look up. This isn’t that hard of concept to understand, if you cared to look past your own nose.
There’s a lady that goes 30km under the speed limit on the highway during rush hour. In front of her clear traffic, behind her, grid lock.
Not going the speed limit creates the traffic and makes travel worse.
That is illegal where I live.

She could also take different roads where the speed limits suit her comfort.
The other drivers could also take those different roads, too, and avoid the slow driver, no?
You don’t think those roads are already congested by people trying to do exactly that…?
So there you have your answer as to why she’s on the highway to begin with! Anyway, good public transit would help with the traffic congestion, too.

"Under the speed limit’ is also 59 (assuming 60 is the limit)… Not just 30…
Speeding also means 1km/h over as well, you saying a 2km/h difference is what makes something safe vs unsafe…?
No it’s what makes it legal vs illegal
Plenty of people dangerously overtake to go just 5kmph faster. That was my point but it seems I should have stated it plainly.
Going under is just as illegal as going over.

There’s also speed minimums in most country’s.
And my comment was specially about the highway if you cared to read instead of bloviating about an unrelated situation ;)
Speed minimums and limits are different numbers. Going under the speed limit is not necessarily illegal.
And speeding isn’t necessarily illegal either. Most cops won’t do anything until to go 15km over the limit.
So as I said, JUST as illegal, since it’s judgement calls in either situation.
It literally isn’t buddy
It Literally is you uneducated buffoon.
SOME STATES, of one country, of one continent on this world, you presemtious, insulting, wee little cunt
