Re: Speeding ticket
[ QUOTE ]
What would the world be like if everyone decided to pick and choose which laws they felt were "reasonable" and worth obeying? Sorry, I'm not arguing to defend my position of actually obeying the law. [/ QUOTE ] cut the crap... you pick and choose just the same as the rest of us. If you dont you are a very very very small minority. Youre telling me youve never once littered, j-walked, or anything like this? Youve never played at an underground card room? Youve never played online? Youve never played at a home game!? Youre a hypocrite, please stop posting. kthx.

Re: Speeding ticket
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I speed a lot, but usually because I'm running late to things (terrible I know). I do like going the speed limit though because it saves on gas. If it's like 3 am and I'm in a driving mood I'll go like 60. [/ QUOTE ] lol, why do people believe that going slower saves on gas, are you really that dense? [/ QUOTE ] I believe solid sustained speed is actually the most economical, with 70 being the prime speed.

Wind resistance is proportional to the square of your speed. In other words, doubling your speed gives you four times as much wind resistance. The energy to overcome that extra resistance has to come from somewhere -- that somewhere is your gas tank. Starting and stopping (at traffic signals, for example) will increase the amount of gas your car uses. That's why mileage ratings for non-hybrid vehicles are lower for city driving than highway driving. All things being equal, however, driving slower is more energy efficient. For a real world example, I used to have a pick-up truck which got horrible mileage. One winter, I was taking a trip through a snowstorm and couldn't safely drive any faster than about 45 mph. I got better gas mileage on that stretch (close to 50% better) than any other driving I did in that truck -- city or highway. I don't care if you drive slower or not -- it's your money -- but you should understand that driving faster does use more gas. Whether you believe it or not, physics is going to have the last lol.

[/ QUOTE ] hah, there is no general all encompassing speed that is most effiecent, unless all cars are exactly the same, which they obviously are not.

[/ QUOTE ] Actually if you take gearing into consideration, there are slower speeds that would be less effiecent, it would not be a linear graph. Also some shapes are going to be more aerodynamically effiecent at a higher speed therefore offering less turbulance and more downforce. More downforce means more grip which means more of the power your engine is producing is getting to the ground. Even so I think you are right wind resistance in most everyday applications is going to make higher speed less effiecent if we dont consider gearing.

Re: Speeding ticket
[ QUOTE ]
My finace got a speeding ticket in washington state. In the "defendant's signature" aknowledging that she "got the ticket but not admitting guilt" the cop never made her sign it....is this enough to get her off? Can she just ignore it and then say...hey I never signed getting it? [/ QUOTE ] No she cannot ignore it. Hire a lawyer with the hundreds of thousands of dollars you made so far this year.
