You can drive like a tit without endangering others.
I have driven like a tit, everyone has 'those' moments. But I wouldn't film myself doing 140 undertaking.

I personally wouldnt say speeding is driving like a tit. I think you are basically saying there are alot of people on forums who constantly lecture other people about their driving, and then go out and do the same thing themselves, and I totally agree. Take a look at alot of the members on here for example, who constantly making criticisms about other peoples driving just because they are in the police force or feel like being pedantic.
Lets be honest no one would be on this forum, if they werent car enthusiasts, and enjoyed driving, and I've never met a car enthusiast that enjoys staring at their speedometer to ensure they are doing exactly 30mph.
Theres time when it is appropriate to drive fast, and if you have an open space and its safe to practice a handbrake turn, then how can people complain?
The police and the media put such an emphasis on speeding being so dangerous, because they want justification to rip off british motorists.

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
Without reading into all 3 pages Id say I enjoy a spirited drive now & then, but only if its safe to do so without endangering my life or anyones around me.

Whats the point of tuning a engine if you're not going to break the speed limit every now and then.

I drive fast and race friends etc. but IMHO i am not endangering others. i never drive fast round corners or drive faster than i feel it is safe to do so. i hate when one person comes on and gets slated to fuck when you no 90% of the people who slated him/her has done the same.
sorry for the essay.

It is more feasable to do 40mph in 30mph zones sometimes.
I am a safe driver and don't take risks that endanger people, I know that for sure.
However, on the motorways and that, I do sometimes do "speed", but the temptation is there too much.
