Ah, that's a fair nuance. Most of the discussion here is either pro- or anti-speed limiters.
I agree, modern cars suck and often do things that surprise drivers which can hurt safety. Stuff like ABS, TCS, automatic braking, and rear view cameras have helped road safety significantly, but some features might not be as useful as just having 90's era direct control.
Traditionally it is how they're determined, but it's possible that this percentile goes up as roads get widened and the speed limit is never changed, or if the speed limit is lowered when there are concerns with fatalities.
You are a bad driver and are probably too reckless to have a drivers license.
In Sweden, if you go 15 mph over the speed limit, you immediately lose your license on the first offense. No one deserves to die because you decided to play Nascar.
You understand how speed limits are set in the US, right? they're designed so that 85% of drivers will instinctively not speed on them. If you're speeding, that makes you worse than 85% of drivers out there.
The US is the only western country with rising traffic fatalities for a reason.
If you hit a pedestrian going 35 on a 25 mph neighborhood street, the majority of the time, that pedestrian will die. Probably closer to like 70% if you're driving a truck. Going 10 over in pedestrian areas kills people.

To be fair, going 10 over on a highway isn't as reckless.
The article doesn't say that the NHTSA asked Newsom to veto, just that they were working on a similar regulation.
It sounded like the car companies just wanted him to veto it so they could keep reckless drivers as a customer base.
The proposed regulation only kicks in at 10 mph over the speed limit (ie reckless driving and deadly to pedestrians)
Speeding should be as annoying as possible for the driver.
In Europe running lights are standard.
Ah, fair enough. I seem to have misrembered nifty 50 lenses as being specifically for portraits.
Medic in TF2 is a pure healer. The only time their weapons come out is if they get separated or get surprised by a spy. In high-level play, basically never.
Strange technical writing in this review, and a misleading headline. The phone has a 35mm equivalent focal length lens, it doesn't have a "35mm" full-frame sensor.
A 35mm primary lens is unusual for phone cameras, as usually the primary lens is a wide-angle lens, but 35mm is still quite wide. It isn't very different from the iPhone's focal length eqv of 26mm.
In terms of using it as a zoom lens, typically portraits are taken with 50mm lenses, and the iPhone's "telephoto" lens is 77mm, so 35mm isn't very narrow, either.
Also, Nubia seems to be a brand from ZTE. It sounds like a Nokia ripoff, and aren't ZTE banned in the US? Is this phone the result of the CCP dodging trade restrictions? That seems more interesting than a slightly narrower camera lens.
That's also definitely true. My point was that road designers typically design the speed limit after the road, not the road after the speed limit. This is why residential neighborhoods and commercial districts often have 45 mph speed limits.
