You want to take psychotic high speed trip? If you're ever out in Las Vegas, drive to LA on I-15. It'll take you about 2.5 hours to go 250 miles. If you're not going 95 mph, they'll run you off the road. And no, I'm not exaggerating. That freeway is INSANE. Or rather, the nuts who drive on it are.

what Karnaj said. i've done that I-15 route enough times to know that 65 is probably more dangerous than going with the speed of traffic (it varies) and keeping LOTS of space between you and other cars. The best idea is to get to 75-80, turn on the cruise control, and stay at that speed. If you see somone powering behind you at 90-100 (with windows up and presumably with AC blasting) and they aren't flashing signals to go around you, merge into the other lane and let them just blow by.

Then, in about 30-60 minutes you can laugh heartily at them when you see them with a blown radiator belching steam on the side of the road. I usually see that at least once every time i take a roadtrip to anywhere.

and about driving while tired, don't fucking do it. especially for long, immensly boring stretches of desert. even if it means missing a day of school/work and taking some shit for it.

That is so terribly harsh. If she killed someone or something, or somehow influenced someone else's life with her speeding, then I could see just cause to want to inflict pain.

Usually not this harsh on people but I've done it (speeding) too many times. It's still just as dangerous when there is noone near by. Thus i don't speed much anymore. Only do it when passing people now.

yeah, because cars couldn't have gotten any safer in the last 16 years since the 65 mph speed limit was put in place in ohio and kentucky. Airbags? ABS? Crumple zones? Phoooey. Give me an 1985 pontiac 6000 any day, it's just as safe as a modern car!

No one is talking about going 100mph. The worst of us agree that 90mph is pushing the responcibility limit. But it is no where NEAR as dangerous as you people are making it out to be, unless, like i've said, you're tired or drunk, you can't see, or you have a car that is a peice of shit.

So what you're saying is that the link you posted had nothing to do with either what Beau or Naimah did?

Especially since Beau admitted she was tired and Naimah may have been as well considering he was going ridiculously quickly at 1a.m?

Not exactly how you put it, Driving fast while not feeling 100% is stupid, but I'm trying to say that people are blowing it way out of proportion.

And Pved, I couldn't possibly fathom someone who was not asleep in a car with working brakes running into a pole at a full 160 kmh. And if you are asleep behind the wheel of your car or your brakes don't work, it doesn't matter how fast you are going, you're fucked.

A loss of control, in a fraction of a second, is all it would take. It happens.

It's not about the safety of the car, it's how you drive it.

Like I said before, getting struck by lightning happens too, but that doesn't keep me from walking around outside during a rain storm. As long as you avoid the things that make your chances of being struck go up (like standing by a tree), you are perfectly safe, just as when you're going 90 mph.

I thought that's what I was saying. 90mph in a 65 zone is going out under the trees in the storm. Going 110mph in a 55 zone is playing golf in a wide open course in a heavy thunderstorm with a big metal umbrella, while dancing about going "There is obviously no god! YOU SUCK JEHOVA!".

Don't you realize that is what Naimah risks every time he speeds to such a degree? It's a callous disregard for his own life and that of others.

Understatement? What are you driving, a 1962 ford galaxy with a all spike dashboard and no seat belts? Unless you are in a head on collison with another quickly moving car, or a semi truck... and both of you completely fail to slow down, getting in a wreck at that speed is more than surviviable.

If you're going that fast while tailgating, or on slick roads, or while drunk, yeah, you're being very risky, but doing it on an open road with good visibility while you are perfectly sober is not that big of a risk.

Would you like to make a bet on that? Would you like me to comment on the number of single vehicle fatalities I've attended where someone thought that exact same line of thinking, just before they lost control to some unforseen random event (oh, say a tire blowout, a pothole in the road that never used to be there, an animal running across the road, a freak gust of wind)??

Or would you rather just have me call you a complete and utter smacktard, and be done with it?

On second thoughts, to hell with it.

You, Blindy, are a FUCKWAD!

Pity the poor cop that has to report to your folks one day that your a strawberry jam on the highway someplace.

On second thoughts, let me know the state/county you live in and I'll advise the police/sherriff's departments there to not bother with the notice to your family. You obviously don't care, so they obviously wouldnt care either, right?

I couldn't agree with you more that there are grevious stakes at hand. But look at the actual risk factor here- It's not as high as everyone is making it out to be. Just because you go 90 when you are driving long distances and the traffic is light doesn't mean you are going to ram into a tree and die.

Subject: Police Attitudes to Speeding Motorists


Greetings Sir,

I am sorry to be having to contact you in relation to a matter such as this, but I find the need to be of some importance, particularly in the hopes of educating someone into the error of their beliefs toward speeding on the street and highways.

By way of introduction, I am a serving Police Officer from Australia, and I was recently speaking to a citizen who lives in your town via the internet in relation to various traffic matters, in particular speeding.

This citizen, who unfortunately would not give his name, stated on a public bulletin board that he frequently speeds along various roads. He even went so far as to specify a particular speed of 90mph in a 65mph zone, although he did state that was in Kentucky. However, as we both know being serving officers, a person just doesn't commit an offence such as this in only one location on one occasion. They will continue to repeat the offence (excessively speeding) until they either: (a) are caught and have the fear of God put into them by the punishment of law for their offence, or (b) they kill themselves (and often other unfortunate innocent individuals often in the process) in a motor vehcile accident.

For your reference, the forum in which this discussion took place is:
http://forums.evercrest.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=050490


More importantly, and the reson for my email, is that I hope you (or perhaps one of your officers) could contact this particular citizen and explain to him the folly of his opinion. Whilst I do not have his name and address, I am sure you could locate him via the Licence Plate details he posted in that thread (recreated below):

Cincinnati, Ohio,
Hamilton County
Phone number for police is (513) 563-2249
My licence plate is BLK MAGE

I am sure that you will also note his attitude toward a police officer (albeit a foreign one) attempting to advise him of his error, and remind him that all officers of the law are due the same respect, whether we be in the United States or in Australia.


I hope that the above information is enough for you to follow up on, and look forward to hearing that this person has indeed mended their ways in relation to the following of the road laws.


Sincerely,


<name deleted>
Sergeant

Australia

Have a nice day.
