I feel it's less about speed and more about alert driving

Yes, you shouldn't be doing 100+ on the freeway. But more important than speed is making sure you're aware of the cars around you, checking the mirrors, checking blind spots, not looking at your phone, not camping in the passing lane, and making sure there is several car lengths between you and the car ahead.

Not a fan of changes to speeding tickets in Utah

Why is that bad? you regularly drive over 105?

Possible jail time seems a bit extreme for speeding

Soul Rider

3/6/22 9:06pm

105 is pretty intense

LiveCoug

3/6/22 9:08pm

But 6 months in jail?

Soul Rider

Yes. That is reckless and should be severely punished for the peril such a

Doesn't sound like it's automatic jail time. 105+ is pretty reckless

Extremely reckless.

105 is nothing between Provo & St. George.

I've seen faster along that stretch as well

Oh, I've seen crazies driving that fast for sure. It's pretty reckless

I just mean there’s long straight stretches and going 105 in a nice vehicle really feels pretty easy & smooth.

A few miles south of Nephi is where things really open up

At that speed, you are potentially risking your own life and the life of others.

You don’t drive a Tesla, do you?

You’re probably in danger of getting rear ended.

TNT always drives the speed limit and observes local laws

Can a Geo Metro go 105? That would be interesting to see.

Eddie

TNT's souped up version can go 75

Why anyone would feel the need to exceed 95 is beyond me. 105 is criminal and merits criminal punishment.

My Maserati does 185

Yeah - but I lost my license, so now I don't drive.

105mph is indeed reckless. Good change.

Just seems heavy handed government

They aren't being locked up for speeding.

On a 70mph freeway I usually try and stay somewhere from 78-80. Occasionally

DieHarder

3/6/22 9:30pm

Aren't lives pretty endangered at 90 mph as well?

Soul Rider

3/6/22 9:35pm

Good question. 105 is faster, so you have less time to make decisions, and if

That would be tough to quantify.

I'd rather be passed by alert driver doing 105 than driver texting

Time to sell my E430. 120 feels like 80.

This is the exact model I set my land speed record in. With my dad sitting next to me as I drove his car.

I feel like speeding is totally relative. This law change is ok if we are
