Speed limits are not objective at all - Germany infamously does not have speed limits on highways.
And yes, speed limit laws, do change over time.
And no, you can't be punished for having broken a speed limit in the past, that is not in effect today.
Parent's comparison seems rather apt.
- hervature 4y agoThey obviously meant speed is quantifiable. You can measure speed and say "you violated the limit".
- Pyramus 4y agoYes, but it doesn't strengthen the argument. If society A says the speed limit is X and society B it's Y and society C it's infinite. What's the point that speed is objectively measurable?
- refurb 4y agoYou’re missing the point. Society A and society B won’t disagree on whether something is moving at 150km/hr.
- endominus 4y agoWell, they might if a physicist gets involved and starts complaining that no one has defined their point of reference.
- hervature 4y agoThat making a rule even makes sense. It is not an argument as to what amount is sensible, just that "amount" is sensible.
