Can you remind me how/where to donate?

By 60km, if you hit a pedestrian it's likely going to be fatal.

Highways being 80-100km is fine, they're not an area for people, homes, schools, etc.

It's within the city where high speeds are the problem

Travelling in Europe I noticed people drive much much slower and safer than in Canada.

That's not because Europeans inherently find dangerous driving "less fun", nor because they're in less of a rush (altho that likely plays a part too).

It's because Canada is lacking in high speed/frequency public transit, so people who don't want/don't like to drive are often forced to.

It's also because Canada has straight, wide roads which encourage high speeds.

I'm not saying not to ticket reckless drivers. Im saying ticketing isn't a solution to the problem, it's a bandaid.

The solution to reckless driving shouldn't be police checks, but the alternatives are politically unpopular (public transit, cycling infrastructure, narrowing roads, etc)

Until those proper fixes are implemented in a city, I view speed traps as a net benefit tbh.

Why would they release a product for free that costs massive amounts to run

We got USB C 14>15, that’s an upgrade on its own tbh

 

The final results have been posted for the 2023 regular season of QPL.

The bottom 8 will have to play an extra day at Quake Con (August 10th-12th) and risk losing their spot in the league
