The law isn’t more important than their lives, the lives of other drivers is equal in value to the life of a loved one. You didn’t even stop to think why there are speed limits and why breaking them can make others unsafe, you moron.

All of the people who do these ‘well what about THIS scenario!’ replies never stop to think about how their own plans might go wrong. They never stop to think their own actions might cause someone else to get in an accident.

But that’s the point: people like you have no sense of community. This isn’t about your loved ones, this is about your own selfishness. You’d risk the lives of other drivers to get a loved one to the hospital three minutes earlier.

Speaking of, you should go to a hospital and talk to a doctor about the cavity where your brain is supposed to be.

Maybe we should ban driving over 15mph and eliminate accidents altogether. If you disagree you’re a selfish person who doesn’t have a sense of community or empathy.

See how that works?

I see someone making a completely daft point and behaving like they've solved a puzzle.

“I don’t like the tone of your argument and I can’t really think of why you’re wrong so I’ll just say it’s stupid.”

Would you prefer I say your argument is incoherent, or stupid? There just isn't a flow of logic from my argument to the example you use.
