I'm 24 and my mates aren't always law abiding drivers. I get on their case and tell them when they feel the need to gun it, its not the skill of the driver involved, its the unpredictability of anyone or anything else on the road.
Throw in manufacturing defects or age related wear (car and road surface, not the driver) that can abruptly alter circumstances and somewhere the luck runs out.
Not that i've ever pipped the speed limit :angel:

If you want to drive at these speeds can you please do it on the race track and not endanger the lives of myself or any of my loved ones thanks.Quote:

Well, you are supportive of people driving at 160 kph on roads that are rated at 100 kph, so i would assume that you do the same.Quote:

He said he lives for "danger" but everyone else on the road would really just like to live. If you want to drive fast or put your life in danger go be a race car driver or how about volunteering for the frontline of the army? (Then again he has trouble following road rules probably not a good idea to give him a machine gun).
As someone who drives late nights on dark quite country roads aren't there enough things out there to worry about without hoons endangering your life? Public roads aren’t amusement parks I just want to get where I’m going in one piece. They can find danger somewhere they aren’t putting the innocent unsuspecting public in danger.
By the way these tough boys who live for danger don't seem to be so brave around my little quarter horse being around her was a little too dangerous for them.:twisted:
An "international race license" Licenses you to drive on a race track where you can do whatever speed is "appropriate". It does not give you the right to do any speed you feel like on a public road, just a a gun license does not give you the right to shoot tin cans in you front yard because you "think" it is safe.Quote:

A race track is to a much greater degree controlled as it removes a lot of these variable.
Don't get me wrong, I am no saint and I agree that a good many speed limits are too low, but it is a fact of life and largly because of the idiots who are in fact unsafe at any speed.
Didnt say that atall.... I just stated that driving above the posted speed limit is not necessarily dangerous.....Quote:
