This thread has me wondering how the yellow suggested speed limit signs are determined. ....
I thought it meant Spin Tires On Pavement.STOP....slightly tap on pedal.....
I don't know but learned the hard way its better to go too slow on a curve then too fast.
the best speed limit sign I have ever seen was in Germany........ I was doing 95 MPH (In a rented Toyota) and got past like I was stopped! The autobahn was unbelievable.
yep- I live by the credo 'don't believe everything you read'.I consider all speed signs to be merely a suggestion.
you had better be polite while the traffic was blasting past too! Those could be expensive tickets. The Polizei were no joke either. I learned something there, speed limits are a good thing.the best speed limit sign I have ever seen was in Germany........ I was doing 95 MPH (In a rented Toyota) and got past like I was stopped! The autobahn was unbelievable.
Now if that don't bring a smile to your face nothing will......
FWIW, i was told by an ex cop that if the suggested cornering speed was lets say 20mph, and lets say the normal speed limit is 45. If you get a ticket for going 30 in the turn, you can beat it if you can prove your car can safely go faster through that turn. Ie. if you have a Lamborghini. interesting fact.
although i doubt you will get in trouble for going faster than suggested as long as its under the posted limit, and your not sideways with your tires squealing or something crazy like that.
But, if you don't know the road obey the signs. sometimes the sign says 5mph or 15mph and means it!
Back in 2000, a movie was released that starred Danny DeVita and Bette Midler called "Drowning Mona." It took place in a small town. EVERY CAR IN IT (except for a camouflaged Omni) was a Yugo! One of the cars in the movie would only run in reverse, so every time you saw it going down the road, it was going backwards.
