Analysis: the pilot’s quicker than ever before in nationality Lead Foot
Barry Landis did 109 km / h, when the radar detector on the bars seines’97 Dodge Avenger started beeping and flashing. That’s when he saw police cruisers.
Why was it so quickly? Because it is in a good atmosphere.
Why was it so good mood? As the fastest.
“It is a kind of cyclical thing,” he says.
For Landis, once tight, his little Dodge to 130 km / h, it is this: “I want to go fast on a snowboard. I want to go fast on a bicycle.
“I just want to go fast.”
It means a lot of other drivers - as the State police here have begun sharing with the media the names of speeders ticket to 90 km / h or more. The idea: damage to slow them down.
At another time in another country, it would work. But not today. Not in the Lead Foot Nation Hit speed when the driver, who seemed out of reach for all but car drivers race, stunt and Moonshiners. Here, many motorists as regards the border sent to a minimum, no maximum.
USA Today analyzed 1.2 million speeding tickets issued in 2002 on highways from 18 countries - about 40% of the intergovernmental system. In comparison with maps dating from the years 1991 and 1996, they confirm what many suspect:
* We are accelerating faster than ever before - in some cases, but much faster.
* Even if the highway speed limits were even a third over the past ten years, we have more speed on these new borders that we are old.
* Despite formal commitments that the increase would be strict compliance with the limit values, we receive more leeway for police, all but ignore speeders 10 to 15 km / h on the border.
The most striking is the rise of extreme acceleration - Take over 90 km / h or 15 km / h above the speed limit. In 1991, only 2% of drivers on airline tickets Rank 90 mph in 2002 to 10%.
Regarding the police call “The Century Club” - driving 100 km / h or more - is still much less exclusive. In 1991, only one in 300 was conducted in airfare or more 100 for the year 2002 was the report by a 100
In an attempt to slow traffic, judges in Sutter County, California have tripled the fine for driving at 100 kph almost $ 1000
Thus, many commuters use Sutter at three speeds, reduce their readers morning in Sacramento or San Francisco Bay Area, that the State has a police patrol 5 hours.
It is the great paradox of U.S. routes. Trafficking is increasingly difficult, there is less open road and gasoline costs more. That should slow us down.
