In most areas, you can only get a point on your license if an actual officer gives you the ticket. You can't get them from automated speed cameras. Most of these tickets seem to be from cameras.

Five points on the licence and you get a milkshake free.

Depends on the state. Most you do get points for this shit. In most states that many tickets would have revoked his license several times over.

But you just know this dude would still drive without a license.

An electric converted K Tucks are nice for businesses that need to go long ranges that a cargo bike can’t do.

A DWI Cadillac.

A micro EV? They’re everywhere over here and are often parked sideways into parallel parking spaces.

Had a Nissan Sentra in highschool in the rural area and it’s not small at all, but compared to everyone else it was tiny. Though that was a while ago and been daily driving our legs pretty much since 2019 lmao Though with the lack of benches/public seating in some places, it’s getting harder to find parking for dez bad gurls 🦵🦵

your speedometer is calibrated to a specific wheel diameter and is unaware of changes due to tire pressure, wear, using different tires (i.e. winter vs summer tires) etc. All it "knows" is that the vehicle travels x meters per wheel revolution, but that x constantly changes.

This also means your odometer will be off by some margin, and should really only be used as a ballpark value.

Most manufacturers deliberately include an error on the speedo so they report 5km/h high (about 3mph). My two cars have 2km/h and 3km/h errors

You can look up the speedometer error for most cars, you can test your own using a stopwatch and a measured distance and maths, or a GPS that shows speed to one decimal place. I use GPS essentials

GPS speed is very accurate.

Yeah, American speed limits are usually treated as suggestions. My usual commute is 70MPH, but traffic regularly flows anywhere between 80 and 85. I remember a chat I had with a cop a while back, and she mentioned that her go-to number was 13. So like at 12 over the limit, she wouldn’t bother. But at 13, she’d initiate a stop.

It meant if she recognized someone from a previous stop, she could just go “wait, I think I remember you… Didn’t I bust you for doing 43 in a 30 last time?” Their actual speed didn’t really matter, because she just used 13 over the limit every time, unless it was something egregious like twice the limit. That “wait, don’t I know you” line would immediately shut down any hopes they had of talking their way out of the ticket, because now they’ve been caught again and they think she actually remembers the specific stop.

Cameras in Sweden trigger at 6 km/h over the limit, apparently. Picture taken at a distance of 14 meters. Seems reasonable as well. Gauges in cars are calibrated to show slightly over actual speed, as a safety precaution. Drivers all know this, so they usually drive 5–10 km/h over the limit instead (which is their own fault, admittedly). But if you don't have cruise control it's easy to drift around the speed you're trying to hold even when trying to drive right on the limit, and ~5 km/h in either direction seems like reasonable drift.
