      12mph?! Never traveled rural areas? It would take me over 2 hours to get to my camp in the boonies and 26 hours to pick up my kids.

        Wanna go faster? Get your politicians to build you safer roads. Pedestrian lives are not expendable.

              Yeah, I’m guessing you’ve never been anywhere properly rural. The distances involved are huge, and there are almost no pedestrians, as going anywhere but the neighbour’s place would mean walking for hours.

              Putting in footpaths on every road would be an absurd amount of money.
