in relation to some other post
will you sit all day on the net, tell people how bad it is to drive at speed, or to do other driving that is a bit dodgy, like hand brake turns in car parks, burn outs, racing another car on the road etc or pulled out to overtake something with an oncomming vehicle heading right for you and thought sod it and kept going? give these people abuse on the net that do these things or mention it in a post........
then, go out and do exactly that yourself? yet just dont post about it on the net?
you dont have to reply, i just think people immediately get on peoples backs to pretend they are a perfect driver, and quite simply 'the best'
im just interested as so many people get slagged off for posting videos of themselves driving cars etc

I think we need a clear definition of driving like a tit tbh. Please state all possible scenarios in which driving is defined to be 'tit' driving...

I admire you for admitting it but saying you're unashamed of it is out of order IMO. So in essance, you're not ashamed of putting other road-users lives in danger?

anything that involves illegal driving, speeding etc, dangerous over taking, its all covered under driving like a dickhead.
simply put, you should go round slagging off other driving when youve done equally as dangerous yourself. ive driven at speeds id care not to mention before. i dont think its smart but i wont call anyone else a dickhead just because ive never said the dodgy driving ive done

Yeah, I sometimes drive above the speed limit but I feel kinda guilty/ashamed in doing so and admitting it.
I agree that most people on here have probably driven stupidly, it's human nature to try and get thrills, it's just trying not to do it in the future is the important thing. Well I think so anyway.

Theres driving fast when you shouldn't ie late night fast driving on the motorway/back roads etc. Which although illegal isn't driving like a tit.
Then theres driving in a reckless mannor, ie driving fast around other road users when you have no idea what their next move will be. To me this is driving like a tit.
I drive fast when the road allows, mainly B roads and do over take other road users. I only do so when I have time to pull out and move back.
I have however driven like a tit, most notably after I passed my test.
I also wouldn't call a spirited drive driving like a tit.

Nail on head, at some point i have driven like a tit, i.e. open road no cars etc. but i don't push my car to the limit, i'm not interested in posting up about how my G40 got up to 'x' speed. I much prefer testing the acceleration of the car up to say 60-70 on a clear country road and leave it at that. anything over 80mph doesn't interest me tbh i don't like it tbh 
I guess therefore i have driven like a tit/broken the law. But to me that video was a different league of driving. He was risking other road users, i.e. NO open road, weaving in and out of traffic like that is stupid imo. If i'm a hypocrite i don't care tbh, and i know how i drive on a daily basis and would never consider driving like that. Happy now Muppetsport, or do you continually want to persue throwing insults at me and telling me how much of a hypocrite i am/ bad drivier and don't deserve to be driving etc. or can we just leave it at that... You have your opinion i have mine

Harsh, but true.
Anyway, no-one actually descrive how you "were a tit" while driving, else we'll have the sun and every other fucking tabloid all over the place.

Everybody at some point has done over the speed limit, nobody in my eyes can honestly say they haven't..
I admit I speed sometimes(90% of time motorway i sit at 80mph and on occasions faster), and overtake etc on b roads and that but not recklessly..IE i only overtake if safe to do so and road conditions etc...I don't believe i have ever put someones life at risk with my driving.
