Why Are Car Drivers So Picked On? A Motorist Rant on Speed Limits, Car Tax and Electric Vehicles

- Motorists have had enough. Why are car drivers targeted and picked on so harshly? Speed limits seem unfair in SOME cases, car tax continues to rise and are electric vehicles actually a good thing or a case of a bad knee-jerk reaction placating the green agenda?

Time and place. Absolutely right. Difficult to monitor and enforce though.
I'm all for speed limits and road humps where and when appreciate. Just aghast at the non_discretion when all is fine.
It wont be long before Big Brother tech inside the car is watching how we drive and we get automatic fines without even needing speed cameras.🥺
Yes. The technology is already there. At some point this will happen. 😢
This is why I'm happy with my modified 20 year old Honda. No fancy crap. Just pure Japanese reliability
@@Ma21L Damn right. The car will likely be depreciation free now too.
👍
@@RevMonkey yep. That's right 👍🏾
I'm sick and tired of everything. It's making it impossible to live like this ! This is hell
In the usa, we are fine at +12-15 over. Most of these limit numbers, in mph, are ridiculous and pointless
Have you still got that 55 MPH limit on the highway?
Parliament will just come up with the next piece of BS to annoy drivers without proper thought of the bigger picture.
Of course.
Maybe we just need more car tracks and be let loose on! Take speed off the streets.
Track days are getting more popular. Am now doing a few a year myself.
We need more tracks. Even then, the anti noise nutters soon protest.
It will only be electric cars on tracks one day. 😂
I have great respect for the Police that tackle proper crime and I do understand that cars can kill or main but, in the main, speeding tickets just piss off the entire population and damages how we think of the police force.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Its like the punishment does not fit the crime.
It does 'seem' that there is a lot of their focus being spent on drivers breaking the speed limit and, worse, where it is not even dangerous to anyone.
The government must make billions upon billions out of drivers. It seems their only decisions is based on what makes the most money for the least cost. 😠
It sure does look that way. The roads are crap, there are roadworks pi$$ing us off everywhere.
Agree with the EV overreaction. The carbon footprint on EV cars is horrific. So darn silly.🤯
Yeah. Something like 75% over a normal car.

We all speed, and some of us speed regularly and some speed way too fast. Just needs to have punishments that fit the actual real specifics of the offence like you described. 👍
That is my thinking.
The main problem with electric cars right now is that they are simply too expensive to get into and later running costs might be the stuff of nightmares.
100%. This puts off a lot of people. If prices do not tumble then, along with actual EV running cost rises, it will struggle more than it should do.
That 20 mph limit is a farce. So keep the cars puffing out smoke for even longer just where you don't want the smoke.
Yeah/ A faster car will put out more but it is over quicker. I wonder what the real science behind this is.
Noise offences are coming into fruition too. Static and mobile microphones will become the norm coz one granny moaned a loud car passing disrupted her morning tea experience. 😁
😁 Yep. True unfortunately. Bad timing as my new exhaust is on the way!
We all just have to grin and bear it whilst our over officious leaders simnply try and take more and more money from us. Car drivers are indeed easy pickings. 🤬
True unfortunately. The governments need money and they pick on motorists hiding their true intentions saying its for green reasons.
Hopefully the much talked about alternative fuel solution will keep out electric cars and smash prices down.
I believe Porsche amongst others are getting closer. Indeed, the German car industry seems to be going all out for this.
Being cynical it might be that they the most to lose as Tesla and other higher end EV cars are eating into their business.

What's the black car model behind you dude?
A model of my own 924 Carerra GT. I have done a video on it on my channel. Still at the garage!
I use Waze to keep ahead of any possible speeding issues which does work unless you are the first person to come across the camera! 🤣
😀
Yep, don't want to be the first but great that people report these things.
It is often a van in the layby pointing down a dual carriageway with a 60 mph limit.
Now - if it is raining badly then people over 60 should get an immediate warning and people doing, say, over 75 should get the points and fine.
BUT - if it is sunny and quiet then 85 to 100 , in a modern sports car with an experienced driver, should only ever get the warning. That is kind of my whole point - time and place.
Question! Would you actually pay extra money to be able to go faster on certain roads? The technology is already there to see what speeds we do from point to point. Rather than giving us possibly job endangering points for minor speeding how about they just automatically charge us for the speed difference. So kind of like polls and average speed cameras in one. They still make their money.
In short, Yes! As I most often drive for pure pleasure and do not want the restrictions on speed IF it adds to that fun - in a SAFE enviuronment.

We will all probably end up like the asian countries with loads of bicycles and scooters. Might not be a bad thing for solo travelers but won't lower the family car users.
I do see a big future for EV motorcycles, sit-on scooters and bicycles. Make so much sense.
As mentioned. Just buy used cars. Better for your pocket, actually better for the planet.
100%
LOL. With so many sports cars no wonder you don't like speed limits!🤣
True. I am somewhat biased! 😁
Your country was LOST THE MOMENT YOU GAVE UP YOUR GUNS
We never had them!
You paid money to advertise this on Instagram? What a life choice.
Ha, yeah. Just a hobby and I have more money then sense - clearly..
We should buy France and use it as our car playground 😂
Haha
All supercars should be banned from the streets. I mean what is the point anyway. 😩
Actually, ha, you do have a point. If every country had a track for sports cars then I would be happy.
