An experiment worthy of an Aunt Judy award.

Also mentioned in a thread in m.t.r.

Atlanta: college students conduct an experiment with obeying posted 55-
mph speed limit. The results are insane.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B-Ox0ZmVIU

Toward the end of the clip, one of the students mentions just how
dangerously low the posted SL is.

In KC, a road like that would be posted 65 or 70.

Saw that one. I liked how while not directly involved, their little
rolling roadblock caused an accident.

What I liked is how four groups of "college students" almost
participated in a Darwin experiment. So much for "higher education"
and "intelligence" being casually linked....

Honestly, if I were going to pull a stunt like passing on the break
down lane, I'd take the time to make sure there were no "Stealth
Stalled Vehicles" there. IF, somehow or another I wasn't prudent
enough to check for SVVs, and I had to swerve back in to avoid
clipping one, I'd have taken out the rightmost car in the procession,
hopefully with enough force to take out the one to it's left.

Well, IIRC, this was an experimant to demonstrate the dangers of sloth
and the idiocy of the 55MPH SL. Figures that on such a beltway like 285
that the SL would be 55MPH. Way to go, GDOT!

Seems that the cloaking device (I think that one must have had one of
the old Darwinator 100 units, seeing as it became visible as the van
approached) was still operational....

That would *really* shutdown 285....

Yes, the problem with this country is, everybody who has all the
solutions to all the problems are otherwise occupied.

Mmm... to come to that conclusion one must determine the students
exerted some control of the vehicles involved in the "accident".
Since that equals -none-, the cause must be attributed elsewhere...
perhaps to the driver who was actually at fault...?

College kids?? HAHAHA. If they had their way the speed limit would
be 150 and drunk driving and red light running would be sacraments.

It just ****es you off to no end to be repeatedly reminded of how safe
the Autobahnen are, doesn't it?

Well, that certainly explains all your free time.

Four vehicles pacing each other on a four lane highway are exerting
control over all vehicles behind them. Figures you'd be too stupid to
realize that simple fact.

Was this experiment sanctioned, or organized in any way with traffic
enforcement? Those four groups of dullards are lucky they didn't get
themselves or someone else killed.

It's been 20 years since I've been on 285, but I remember that the
person driving the vehicle was doing 75 in a 55. While we were on loop
for a good 10 minutes, we were passed by every vehicle we encountered,
except for one: an ambulance with it's signals and siren active, which
appeared to be doing the speed limit.

If the action sent a couple of carloads of dumb asses to the morgue,
it would be worth while.

HAHAHA back at you, AJ. You are SO entertaining on r.a.d. (hack
hack). Though probably more entertaining at the bathhouse if
Hector's .sig is any indicator.

And if geezers had their way the speed limit would be 10. That makes
70 a good happy medium on the Interstates in most states.

>...and drunk driving and red light running would be sacraments.

And stop-sign running...sort of like the common targets Teddy Kennedy
and laura bush (sic).

BTW...most college students who go to booze parties are within easy
walking distance and do not drive to them. This coming from one about
to go to a college 20-year class reunion in about a week.
