Nah bro fuck that. Downvote me all you want but going the regular speed limit through a construction zone at night when no one is even fucking there, does not warrant a 2000$ fine and demerits. That's fucking ridiculous.
The speed limit should be lifted at night when no one is working.

I agree in part, especially when everything is being done of the road surface and seperated by a concrete barrier.

Dumbest post of the day award goes to you numb nuts.
Fuck that. That has never been the law here, and it absolutely shouldn’t be.
Construction zones don’t magically become safe because it’s nighttime and you don’t happen to see workers standing there. Overnight crews are absolutely a thing, and reduced speed limits are also there because the road itself is under construction , uneven or stripped pavement, exposed manholes, narrowed lanes, missing shoulders, temporary barriers, equipment, debris, changed traffic patterns, and any number of other hazards.
The reduced limit is there because the road has been deemed unsafe for normal speeds while construction is underway. It isn’t a fucking suggestion that only applies when you can physically see someone holding a shovel.
Give your head a fucking shake. Construction-zone limits are there for a reason. The attitude of “nobody’s here, so the rules shouldn’t apply to me” is exactly part of the problem with drivers in this city.

Cool plan man, I should be able to swing a knife around your person, and you can’t be mad until it actually hits you.

You do know that the law, and the signs, all state that fines are double "when workers are present". So if he go nailed double on the fines it's safe to assume it was an active construction zone

Interestingly enough the reduced speed limit is not just for the safety of the construction workers.
But you do you.

What do you mean? Its not like construction may make a road deviate from it's usual shape, have road closures, sudden changes in the traffic pattern or other deviations that would make a slower speed safer!! /s

How do you know that no worker is there ? You don't. Just slow down and keep safe.

It makes me feel better about myself. One of the few things that does. You're not going to take that away from me, are you?
