    if there are speed limits i usually am forced to spend more time dicking around looking for signs or cops or checking the speedometer, instead of focusing on the road and how safe my current speed actually feels

      If your mental capacity is reached by checking your surroundings while all the traffic is going roughly the same speed as you, then no way youre capable of handling “no speed limit” where everyone is driving to their liking.

      It’s not just you who’d be suddenly free to do whatever they want, but everyone else too.

      Claiming “I know better what’s best for me” is the best sign of someone who absolutely doesn’t.

        I think you’re misunderstanding their message. To me it reads that places where there’s low speed limits, are also places where you need to pay a lot of attention on the street and surroundings and wouldn’t want to drive faster anyways

          Fair, maybe that’s how it was meant. But “dicking around” makes me think otherwise.
