Look, no point in lying about it, the experience was fun and quite arousing. I'm not proud of the fact that I spent the whole trip from X to Y, out of town and down the motorway towards Z, with a raging hard-on. But I'm not ashamed of it either. Since I wasn't actually available for any potential frolics, I didn't risk getting disappointed later. If I had been available I reckon I would have just ended up with acute frustration. As it is, I have a happy memory to think back on. Man, those girls were sweeeeeeeet. |

Also, wtf does the fact that it was (past tense) a 60 limit have to do with anything? It's a 40 limit now...the past is irrelevant. "Sorry officer, it was a 60 last week" Can't see that going down too well... |

Racing is for the track. Spirited drives are for quiet non-residential roads. Anything else is fair game for laughing at the moron who gets nicked shortly after overtaking you

I'd have pushed them off the road and wound one into them.

Just think the high horse brigade / curtain twitchers need to calm down a little

Would not recommend the practice down the M5 Worcester/Glos stretch. There's a gun metal grey BMW that has blue lights in its back screen that keeps pulling over the speeders round here.

As others have said, what unwritten rule?
If it's safe to play, and I'm in the mood for it, I will. If not, I won't. And if I'm somewhere unfamiliar I stick to the posted limit regardless - there's still far too many scameras and talivans around, looking to relieve me of my license...

However, there's no point coming on here trying to justify illegal/reckless behaviour. If someone does I certainly will not kowtow to them and make them feel better about what they've done or help them to justify it. Be it street-racing or just generally speeding, what's possible justification is there? The law of the land is clear. There are clearly defined speed-limits for all our roads. What reason does anyone have to breaching those limits? I can't think of one (other than extreme situations such as taking a seriously sick/injured person to hospital etc). That's not to say I've not done it but you won't find me trying to justify/absolve myself. P.S. Is the forum layout all fucked up for other people or is it just me? All the thread icons/smilies are all screwed up at my end... |

There's no justification for speeding. Many/most/all of us do it, but to try to justify it or act all superior because we do it, is preposterous. |

So let me get this straight. You think that speeding (justified or not) is just as bad when alone in a car as when you've got a young child as a passenger? No - I didn't think so. Clearly there are magnitudes of "unjustifiable behaviour" here - and the former is far less stupid than the latter. If you disagree with that, you are - odd. So perhaps it's you that's missed the point and forgotten what this topic was originally about? As such I'll reiterate my point. Everyone on here will like to drive a bit quickly, or else why do they drive the car they drive. So going batshit at everyone for just asking a hypothetical question is a bit ridiculous. The OP isn't a bell end for saying "I was driving a bit quickly and then I saw that someone who was also driving quickly had a kid - so I was annoyed at them". He isn't. You would be too in the same situation. As you've said - you go a bit quickly from time to time as well so there's no reason that this exact scenario couldn't have happened to you.. Therefore like I said I think it's you (and a few others) that have missed the point (Or very possibly, like I said in my flippant first response - really have never enjoyed their BMW, disagree with everything I just wrote about occasionally going quickly, and should - as a logical conclusion of this - go get a Yaris and not bother with a premium marque ). And the forum looks fine here

I gave my opinion on the matter (after a few others had posted and progressed the topic a little). However, I did pull him up on something else in his OP. No I wouldn't. If someone wants to put their own child at risk, what has it got to do with me? Ok, I'm playing Devil's advocate a little but seriously, if some idiot wants to put his own and his child's life at risk then go nuts. I don't really care as long as it's not going to affect other road users (i.e. me and my own). Quote:

The batshit remark wasn't aimed at you. But by the way the same "why do you care" question could be asked of you. You pulled me up on my earlier post and your rationale seems to be that you don't care if someone's kid gets killed through their parent's idiocy. I'm not sure it's worth discussing the matter further
