Why doesn't speeding significantly decrease one’s commute time? I've done a lot of road trips and driving and have experimented by increasing speed by 10–20%, but somehow this never equates to arriving 20% sooner, even on clear roads.

It took just a couple of days to figure out that even though the speed limit was 50 kmph, the lights were set to 55 kmph. If you set the cruise control on 55, you would catch every light perfectly. If one car was on the road in front of you, you could change lanes. If three cars were on the road in front of you, you had to slow to what ever speed they were going. Then you hit red light after red light. The streets were 4th ave, a one way going west, 5th Ave a one way going east, 6th ave a one way going west.

A 10 percent increase in the maximum speed I drive, cuts commute time from 25 minutes in normal traffic to 8 minutes, on deserted streets.

Saving me almost an hour. But again, you save almost no time, if you have to slow down behind cars.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

On Dec 21, just before Christmas, where I live the sun rises at 8:43 and sets at 4:25 , we only have 7 hours and 42 minutes daylight. So we can't visit her mom for Christmas, and doing 100 kmph we can't visit her mother between Nov 5 and Feb 5. That's assuming, no delays, and that we are packed and ready to go at Sunrise. That never happens, we are always a half hour late, or have a delay on the road.

If I set my cruise control to 112 kmph, it takes 7 hours 20 minutes driving time, and the total drive is a minimum 8 hours and 20 minutes.

The reason that this is important to me is that my wife has post concussion syndrome, and gets violently ill, if she rides in a car after dark. She stays ill for a couple of days after.

What disgusts you?

But, if I set the cruise control 12 km faster, we have more than an extra month, when we can visit her mother.

So essentially it means that we can't visit her mother from Canadian Thanksgiving, until about February 20th.

Of course even if you ignore the 12 minutes I sat at lights, I never really managed 50 kmph. Because when you are accelerating from lights, and only going a block before you have to stop, you are only going the speed limit for a few meters.

I drive to my mother in laws three times a year, its 825 km, of deserted two lane black top. If I drive at 100 kmph, it takes 8 hours and 15 minutes driving time, plus 15 minutes stop at a gas station, and a 15 minute stop at a fast food place, plus two 15 minute stops to let my dogs run in the field. Making the drive a minimum 9 hours and 15 minutes.

I was driving every morning to the office, and it took me 25 minutes, then covid hit, and I had the streets to myself.

It really depends on traffic conditions, I find that driving in the city with traffic lights, you can make really great time.

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

This made it hard to synchronize the lights. But 55 kmph was the sweet spot. I had 6 weeks of 8 minute commutes. It was amazing how few cars it took, to make you hit every red light. So it crept up to 15 minutes, after 6 weeks, and 20 minutes after 10 weeks.
