Unless you're a Mozilla CEO, apparently. Or is having donated funds to an organization in the past considered action personally attacking them?

I went to high school in a small town where the local police had a reputation for pulling over 5-overs. We drew our students from a pretty wide area so you'd routinely see 3 or 4 people pulled over after events when everybody was headed back out of town.

Never happened to me, but I didn't drive much at the time, and that was the only place I was afraid to drive 5 over so far.

pulled over for going too slowly should you not exceed the posted speed limit

Well, hats off to you if that is your real driving record, anyway. I try to drive as safely as I can but with the traffic I drive in it seems impossible to avoid getting in accidents.

Or do you only drive infrequently or in light traffic?

Or if you're going into an intersection and somebody runs a red light. At that point, speeding up is much more likely to avoid a collision than slamming on your brakes, which will likely stop you in the middle of the intersection.

But "never ever ever violate the speed limit." Rules that demand 100% compliance rarely work. Are you pro-Zero Tolerance gun laws, too?

So it's illegal to exceed the speed limit and it's also illegal to not exceed the speed limit? Nice.

I was under the impression that for some time now car brakes have been designed to bring you to a full stop even if you have both the gas and the brake floored, so I find that rather unlikely unless you're going 140mph or something...in which case the brakes might overheat and fail by the time you get slowed down enough?

With the sheer obliviousness of pedestrians around near where I grew up, it will inevitably happen.

If you're in the right-hand (non-passing) lane and you get rear-ended by a semi, I think 4 times out of 5 it's going to be pretty clearly the semi's fault. Unless you just passed him, pulled back into the right, and slammed on your brakes, which Google would undoubtedly make sure their cars don't do, he should have time to slow down or pass you if the passing lane is open.

If the rain is sufficiently torrential, wouldn't radar get scattered and/or reflected by it?

Hey, at least they're a damn sight wider than hockey goals. Whenever I see a hockey game I wonder why the goalie doesn't just lie down in front of the goal; he's wearing enough padding and gear that it's not like he'll even feel people bouncing pucks off him. And unless somebody can loft it like 1.5 feet in the air, it's not getting in.

Hockey = Canadian football?

Pulling out the excuse "my grandparent says that" doesn't work when we're talking racism. Lots of grandparents spout racist shit.
