    Holy mother of Christ, how tf is this even possible:

    New York State plate #LCM8254

    Vehicle: Black 2023 Audi A6

    School Zone Speeding Tickets Received in 2024: 563

    School Zone Speeding Tickets Received in 2025 To Date: 177

    Total Fines Paid / Owed: $46,636.60 / $11,205.63

    Borough Where Most Often Speeding: 100% Brooklyn (563 violations)

    Intersection Where Most Often Speeding: Ocean Pkwy and Ocean Court (70 violations)

    Also, they mention having a limiter to prevent speeds exceeding 5mph over…I have my adaptive cruise set that way, I’d love to have that as a general option also. I haven’t gotten any tickets but I have caught myself going a bit fast at times, having an automatic limiter would be convenient.

        Or keep your license. You get enough points in my state, and they just take your license. It’s not that high either, only like 20 points, and lots of violations are 2 or 3 points. You fuck up a few times in a 3 year period, and you’re walking.

      My vehicle has an option in it’s cruise control settings to automatically adapt to speed limit changes

        Those have a tendency to suck ass on VW group cars, like Audi. They read the wrong signs all the time and keep changing the speed setting to incorrect numbers. Can be super annoying and I don’t blame anyone for not using it.

        I have mine set to do that also. I really like it. I have to take several eight hour drives a year and it’s surprising how much less exhausting it is when I get back home after having a car with those adaptive cruise and lane assist features.

          Mine is a Ford, I have it turned off because I’d probably get rear-ended if I actually adapted to the speed limit changes here (401 corridor, Ontario). But, watching the speed limit indicator in the cluster, it’s quite accurate as long as speed limit signs arent obstructed.

          I do use the adaptive cruise with lane keeping and follow distance enabled on the highway, it’s super convenient in heavy traffic.
