Reckless Driving

[Snakebyte]

I understand the enjoyment of pushing the limits. Been there done that. I've learned over the years and hopefully some who are promoting disrespect for authority will learn as well. Respect is shown or not shown by what we do when no one is looking, no one is around.

Soap box: Respect starts within a home and if one has not been taught respect for authority of parents, teachers, and law that are established to help us mature, that's the root of the problem. Yes parents, teachers and such are not perfect but neither are any of us. Sadly our nation's in a mess because of that root problem.

Wish I could like this post more than once. Well said.

If you want to speed, take it to the track. Period.

I honestly never want to speed on a public road, drivers are absolute idiots nowadays and I don’t want my car involved in an accident.

I believe this is actually being done on purpose.

tbh I sorta see both sides of this posts viewpoints. I'm on record already that street racing is not a good/smart thing to do. My real life experiences are it often happens on roadways with other drivers and traffic which is so not cool. But having driven all over the US of A it's a fact that "speed" limits are not the real limits. Going 90mph in a 80mph zone in North Dakota is like nothing, I got passed by farmers in old F150's going about 110mph. But it very, very, very lonesome other there. Doing 90mph on our 465 loop in Indy going to get you noticed fast. So what is the real speed limit truly? When I lived in Houston driving to work at 65mph in a 55mph I could get rear ended by normal traffic going about 80mph (but typically we were all going about 30mph in gridlock, smh).
I get that going excessive speeds is dangerous, flipside anyone ever drive on I70 in Kansas?? whoo boy that's one endless piece of boring straight highway. But yeah Virginia is, well I'll drop down to 2nd gear for driving thru that state, put the exhaust in quite mode.

I’ve had to tell a woman and her kids dad isn’t coming home due to crash fatality. I hope the OP learned from the break he got so his family doesn’t get the same visit.

Not saying go 150 in a residential at 3am, but lets be honest, big open highway with not a soul in sight?
Dont tell me you with your Shelby wouldnt be tempted to speed

Passenger cars are designed to take a certain amount of impact. I’m pretty sure they are not built to withstand at triple the speed limit. So no, I’m not tempted.

And im sure 100's of thousands of people can tell you a story about going 120mph at 0100 on a deserted road and everyone went home safe.

What's the point of your post other than a thinly veiled passive-aggressive "IM LEO" statement?

This must be that Minnesota Nice I've heard about.

I like how everybody here is hammering you for speeding..What's the bible verse about those who haven't sinned can cast the first stone

Good thing this forum is full of folks who have never sped or done stupid stuff!!

I was recounting something that actually happened, a fact. If you don’t understand the point, ask someone to explain it to you.
