UK drivers?
I speed all the time. You have to do it in open areas, and you can't
do it in traffic obviously. But I drive fast, however I am one of the
safest drivers I know. Living in Italy really hones the skills of
watching out for the other idiot. My motto is that I promise not to
kill you in my car without telling you first. No matter what happens
if I am not saying anything we are ok. If you hear me say "oh shit"
that probably means we are going to die. I used to do 90+ in the
mountains near Olbia in my 83 rabbit. Those were two lane roads and
didn't always have guard rails. I used to pass Alpha Romeo 143's and
Imola's on blind curves.
The only real accidents I have had was in an F150 on ice, and when
someone else rearended me in the rain. Both were less than 20mph
collisions.
I tone it down with the family in the car, but when it's me I go fast
it's what I do.
