Re: do you speed?
For the record, I do not care about speeding tickets. I do not get pulled over enough to adjust my driving. The fines are not steep enough to change by driving habits either. I also do not speed excessively unless I am on the highway.
My speed on the highway is determined by which car I am driving. If I am driving my Expedition, then I generally travel at 60 to 80 MPH depending on the amount of congestion. If I am driving my Evo then I travel at speeds between 70 and 110. FYI, my car can get much faster than that because it is not governed. I will not push it any faster than that on public roads though. When I do hit the 3 digit speeds in my car it is just to get away from the "Wolfpacks" on the highway. Once I am clear of them I take my speed back down to the 70-80 MPH range. For the most part I speed to get away from other vehicles and I drive at a speed that is comfortable for me. I'm sorry, but after driving and or riding on the Autobahn for 7 years of my life driving at the speed limit is like nails on the chalkboard to me. As far as gas is concerned, I never changed my driving habits when the gas was more expensive either. To me, driving at a speed that I am comfortable at is a luxery that I am willing to pay for whether it be at the pump or in a fine. |

I do not have the energy to retype everything that I just lost. To Sum it up. Read my previous post. Yes, I am impatient but I am not wreckless. I speed, but I don't weave. It is hard to block an entire one way 4 lane road, but when they do I can slow down quick enough. The more traffic the slower I drive. I am not going to change your mind with this post, but ride with me once and you will realize what I'm talking about. I may drive fast, but I stay safe. |
