yes but do gooder forum type people never admit to it as they think its big and clever to slag something off, then later tonight they will be off out doing 100+ on a b road shoing off doing wheelies in maccy ds carpark.
Too true!

i fail to believe that, you will have at some point. you will have gone round a corner with the car on the edge, you will have done more than 30 in a 30 before, and more than 60 in a 60.
dont criticize things when you do it yourself
admiting your not a perfect driver makes me think your a tit aswell. you shouldnt be allowed to drive on the roads either

FFS why are you trying to start an argument? Calling me a tit and an 'imperfect driver' as you must clearly be (oops my mistake).
All i'm saying is that i don't attempt to endanger peoples lives when i'm on the roads, silly me?! He could've caused an accident whether he was in control or not, as clearly stated, if he'd had a blowout the whole situation could've been different and would you be condoning his driving then. I don't deserve to be on the road? Give me a break!

all im saying is at some point you will have done something as stupid while driving which could have dangered peoples lives, and then you can start going on about how angry you are after watching that video? it seems a little strange.

I think there is driving slightly illegally and there is swooping in and out of traffic at 100+ mph with one hand on the wheel.
That video is an extreme example of very bad and very dangerous driving.

ian, dont be stupid, driving illegally is driving illegaly. there is no difference is there? speeding is speeding. doing 80 in a 60 can have just the same impact if something went wrong as that could ahve done.

No I disagree.
By your thinking 200mph would be no more dangerous than 71.

your forgetting circumstances? 200mph is probably safer on a motorway than 71 is in a built up area

Im guessing he got banned and fined thats all anyway,no biggy 
i got banned a few years ago for a year for doing 120mph on the motorway.and im currentley banned for two years for doing 143mph in my cousins renault 21 turbo  im not boasting,just i thought id be diffrent and own up to it,being diffrent from the rest off the sheep on a forum is
Banning him and fineing him wont put him off doing it again,i assure you,i done it on empty motorways late at night on my own,so just my life at risk before anyone has a go and if the police do read this forum,its not put me off its just made me want a faster car now only 15 months to go

antything over 40mph is threatening someone elses life, wether you think your in control in a 60 zone or not, its enough to kill someone, thats what i meant.
edit, well any speed can be dangerous

Yes, and the facts are that risks are usually calculated.
Going back to my original point, that particular example of driving has a very high probability of causing injury or damage.

I don't think it should be congratulated. You wouldn't if something had snapped and he died.

i drive a van every day, you wouldnt believe the amount of driving i see that equals that or worse on a-roads with cars overtaking a line of traffic on blind bends. all due to the road being the main way to the stranraer ferry.

if i had died that would serve me right,as many would say
ill speed when i know its safe to do so,im not the worlds best driver,but at the end off the day you can die doing 30mph so theres no real diffrence.if your willing to take a risk,then take it you only live once

Thats such a weak point. You can die falling down stairs, so lets all drive at 140mph?
