[QUOTE="Makobra, post: 16409535, member: 193575"] yes. im sure google can help you out with that desire to learn more. to understand why people are more courteous in the absence of strict rules you have to understand people. to put it simply, if you're out in some foreign country where all is alien to you you will be more courteous and more careful if you have any sense about you. why? because you don't know the rules. living under the weight of countless rules puts people in the mental corner of "as long as i follow the rules I'm a good person". how many times have you been annoyed at someone who had the audacity to honk at you when you were not doing anything technically wrong? maybe you were just not paying attention for a minute. the offense you feel in that situation is "i'm following the rules, THAT guy is the asshole doesn't he see that i am clearly not doing anything wrong?" but you offended him somehow, otherwise he wouldn't have be moved to honk right? people are discourteous on the road constantly and this is precisely why. they feel SAFE. going slower than the ten cars stacked up behind them FEELS safe because they're following the rules to the letter. fact of the matter is this: people died because montana enacted daytime speed limits on the highways which was validated by undoing it then doing it again. they accidentally proved that at least in some cases speed limits kill. and nobody gives a shit because they FEEL safe.
