You can consider this post like the leader of the NAACP endorsing W h i t e y Blue-eye McAlbino to be their leader, but I can't argue with the facts:

Tesla passengers survive 250-foot plunge off cliff at Devil’s Slide

A family of four inside a white Tesla was rescued after their all-electric vehicle fell about 250 feet off a cliff at Devil's Slide.

How many people would consider ANY car a likely survivable-by-family-of-four accident driving off a 250 foot cliff?

Literally, for the first time in my life, I am already planning an NHRA-level full roll cage addition to whatever I end up in next, as, being as stubborn as I am, I don't see it being a Tesla.

I must confess, until I read about this miracle, I had considered structural safety with a somewhat flippant "Ah, it'll never happen to me" attitude.

Now I'm thinking cage and safety harnesses if I want to go over a certain speed. Call me paranoid or whatever you want, but, hey, at least you'll be able to call me.

Only a total dumb ass retains a paid lawyer for a misdemeanor case that he can not beat

I knew a habitual fast driver who just had Prepaid Legal on retainer.

In FACT, if you all tend to stretch your right leg a lot in one state, consider getting Prepaid Legal or other such service. It's basically Law Insurance, evidently.

Street racing is for Ricers, sell your HC and get a 2007 Honda and start the build.

- I still recall back in '15 when I got my first HC, I was driving in a residential neighborhood where the speed limit is 35 MPH, and a older...a Honda Civic with stickers and a huge fart can on the exhaust pulled next to me and began revving his car up.....sounded like an angry mosquito...... and no, I didn't bother.

There is a drag strip literally within 10 miles of me.....

I don't street race because I'll never win a stoplight challenge. I won't be the first car to enter an intersection when a light turns green after witnessing a collision ten years ago when a car immediately ahead of me was T-boned by another vehicle trying to beat the red light from an opposite direction. Since then, I deliberately count one-one thousand if I'm the first vehicle in any lane entering an intersection.

Another reason is that I simply don't want to be known as the neighborhood jerk who drives a powerful car.

I find myself going around Priuses and Teslas in the far left lane driving the speed limit. I usually pass them at Mach 1 or so, just to show my appreciation for their lane selection. Not much racing in DC unless you count the Mustang and Scat charger owners who weave in and out of traffic seeing who can speed up and then brake the hardest. lol. Unless you go out at 1 am, there is too much traffic around here to race...

All that being said, If I'm out late on a Saturday night and GTR pulls up next to me, I'll let him know what time it is. I don't race mustangs because I don't want them to wreck into my car and now I won't race any corvettes... Geesh.

A very solid point

Is there a law against driving slower than the posted limit?

One day in Fort Lauderdale a convertible load of what I think may have been rappers trolled along the coastal main drag at single-digit mph if that and blocked traffic for miles while thy bumped their stereo.

Totally a video-worthy moment, but a lot of angry motorists behind them LOL.

Florida has a law on impeding the flow of traffic. There isn't a specific speed limit on it, but it is more to do with intent to intentionally negatively impact traffic, either through direct means or willful ignorance. For example, in Florida, if you're on a two-lane road and need to make a left turn across the oncoming lane, if you stop in your lane, you can be cited for impeding. The law states that vehicles must remain moving at all times, so if you have to turn left, you should slow to a crawl if need be, but you can't come to a stop. This same code also covers things like joyriding and is often ticketed in places like Panama City Beach and Daytona where spring breakers will troll the main drags at 5mph. Officers have better things to do, usually, but in cases like what you described, if an officer saw what was going on, I'm sure he'd at least have pulled them over for a written warning.
