    I’m not talking about a rural area, I’m talking about a town. You don’t go high speeds inside a town regardless of the size of the town. Its not like every building is miles away from the next one. This isn’t the middle of nowhere, we have a hospital.

      Your town of 15K is the literal definition of rural. What do you think rural means it not a town of 15K, and where did you get that definition?

      Unfortunately, I bet the car accident fatality rate in your town is higher than most cities, but we won’t know that for sure unless you reveal where you live. Also your hospital is not able to handle traumas or other serious medical events, so you will be transported to the nearest city via ambulance or helicopter after they do their best to stabilize you, delaying your treatment by hours

        You clearly have no frame of reference for the infrastructure in a town of this size. You can’t just tell me what’s in my town, I’m the one that lives here, I know what’s in it. My hospital is more than capable of handling serious injuries. It is exceedingly rare that anyone needs to travel to a city for medical care.

        I suppose we have different definitions of rural, but the way you worded it sounded like you think my town is mostly empty long stretches of road with the occasional gas station. Its unclear to me exactly what you think my town is, but the speed limits here are about the same as any city, and you never have to drive very far to get anywhere in town.

        I’ve been to places similar to what you think my town is, and I’m more than willing to admit their faults, but its not like that everywhere and you are clearly demonstrating your ignorance on the subject by acting like you know better than me what’s in my town.
