Suddenly he feels tired and needs some time off the wheel, he asks you to take it and tell you that the car is not on his prime anymore, warning about the risks of going over 60mph for long periods of time.

I'd go above 60 mph because in France highway speed is 130 km/h (80.78 mph)

It's not the safety I was worried about but a possible speed trap
I don't remember how many Km is a mile exactly and multiplying by 1.609 isn't that easy to do mentallyxch00F wrote:

lol they're not obligated to do anything, really. it depends on who's driving the car, what kind of car it is, and how vindictive/spiteful the cop's feeling that dayPolyspora wrote:

can you not convert between the two
I feel like most ppl should at least know how to switch between temperatures and distances

Also we do units and stuff in science classes, where even americans use SI units so we definitely don't learn about their stuff.
we weren't taught to convert to metric eitherPatatitta wrote:

A velocimeter does the job for you but in the middle of a convo when someone says "It's a mile and a half from here" you need to do mental calculations since your country just doesn't use imperial, like 98% of countries use metric.Polyspora wrote:

no idea who is included in this but i mostly just thought the conversation was funny/strange so i waltzed in and spoke and left;; it doesn't seem like anyone else is saying anything about declarations of war or adoration, rhetorical hyperboles like those don't seem to be relevant at all... i think it was mostly just because one or two people thought that it was a little weird that unit conversions were really not that familiar to others here ^-^;;Polyspora wrote:
I dont know if I'm hanging around weird communities, but I see mph everywhere and ultimately got used to it, its not a big deal, I preferred to use it this time, it was not a declaration of war against everyone who uses the metric system or an adoration act to the americans.
the speed of the car was not even the point of the question, I just wanted to know if you guys were compliant or defiant.
if you wanted to participate on the voting/know the exact speed you could easily convert it to kmh or just ignore this thread completely
(and therefore the imperial units)
had with car culture (in manufacturing, trade, arguably even the wider existence of cars themselves as we understand them)
, many of those people who you've learned from and listened to probably just happen to be either from the united states or very familiarized/affected by their influence indirectly because they themselves have learned from americans^Nuuskamuikkunen wrote:

(it seems pretty evident to me that off-topic was always argumentative in some way depending on who was here and who was saying what)
, and i don't seem to be noticing any kind of clearly-defined time period of off-topic being distinctly/uniquely argumentative now such that i could call it an "arc", but if i may be the tone police... i'm not sure how argumentative sarcasm would be suitable for someone who himself says he "dislikes the argumentative off-topic arc" (and by extension, he presumably dislikes something in the flavor of our own argumentativeness in general at the moment)

yeah dw not personal but i do notice it a lot in general, i guess maybe that's what you mean from the earlier threads of believing people didn't really like you? not sure but i imagine it would be included
i completely forgot to add to the actual premise of the thread but i selected "drive at exactly 60 mph", although i probably would have gone lower in reality... i'm much more compliant and risk-averse with most things, and since i'm not really aware of car health and wouldn't know how to identify which problems are significant enough to be concerned about, i would really just trust in the general impression of "if something goes wrong, at least i'm not nearly as likely to be a safety hazard"Polyspora wrote:
