How do you even do that D:
YOU HAVE A TREE
A TREE IS CLIMBING OUT OF YOUR CAR, AND SO IS YOU FLOORMAT

Sometimes it takes having yourself all shook up to bring you to your senses when you're young and reckless.
I know, some people don't change, but having personally lost three people quite close to me in less than two years to road accidents I've learnt just how fragile life really is. All I can say is you've only got your life to live once and if something happens others are left behind to pick up the pieces, please be careful everyone..
I know it's all cheesy and cliched and coming from someone whose only exceeded the speed limit by 20kph at the most (and only by accident), but sometimes the luck runs out.
Anyone who thinks speeding is ok is wrong. I have lost a girlfriend to a speeding driver, and let me tell you, it hurt. Anyone who thinks that going a few k's over the limit is ok needs to pull there heads out of their fucking arses. Speed kills people, speed limits are put in place for a reason. Arriving at your destination a little quicker is not worth risking other peoples lives. People who think otherwise might want to have a look here and have a listen to some of the stories.
If you wanna speed, do it on a racetrack.
+100 agreed. Your stance is understandable given your loss but if everyone paid proper attention on the road then there would be no need for speed limits. Of course everyone is human and has lapses of concentration so therefore we need speed limits. But to paint everyone who speeds as a wanker is ridiculous. I would much rather travel at 140k's with someone paying attention than at 90k's with someone more interested in their radio station.
I guess what I mean to say was that anyone who deliberately breaks the speed limit is an idiot. Especially within built up areas. That fact of the matter is that many people don't pay attention, like you said, and this is one of the reasons there are speed limits, Just because you're paying attention, doesn't mean the dick that's around the corner is.
Like I said, speed limits are there for a reason, why break them? I know you probably don't all agree with me, but that is just my opinion.
The thing is you can't throw all speeding into the same bucket. Doing 70 in a residential 50 zone? Yeah, that's pretty dumb. Doing 120+ on a modern, multi-lane freeway where the zone is 100? Well, it's illegal, but it's hardly dangerous or irresponsible.
Generally speaking, if you go with the flow of traffic your safe. Going 55 in rush hour traffic when everyone else is doing 70, your just a hazard, but then so is that cock in the neon doing 80 and swerving in between cars. It's all common sense.
With the title of the thread being what it is, I'm thankful it's not in the NSFW section.
HEY! I was that cock in a Neon once. Ok, I didn't swerve in and out of traffic, though.
But where do you live where you get to go as fast, nevermind faster, as the speed limit in rush hour? Once 4:30 comes round, there's no going faster than 15-30mph, depending on area and current road.
