Rob_P Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 As many others on here, I do speed but normally when in the right place to do so. I don't driver a car (although im learning), I've got a motorbike to get me around, some of you may know what bike but anyway it's no moped. Being on such a quick bike it's so so much easier to wind her open, not in stupid places like town or built up areas. I've learnt my lesson now, I did get caught near my house for doing 60 in a 30 but luckily the nice bacon let me off! I don't wanna be learning another lesson by hitting someone or whatever before it's to late. Just sitting at 30 feels like a snails pace, although I suppose it's there for a reason. Like what happened to DJ, doing 70 in a 40, thats just plain stupid!! Rob (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Thing is though, everyones talking as if driving fast is going to kill someone. But at the same time you can kill someone at 30 or less. So god knows how your supposed to drive (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Thing is though, everyones talking as if driving fast is going to kill someone. But at the same time you can kill someone at 30 or less. ← You hit someone at 30mph, they have an 80% of surviving. You hit someone at 40mph, they have an 80% of dieing. I don't really speed apart from on the motorways. There's no point. What's the point in ragging a car around being dangerous to knock a minute off a 10 minute journey? There isn't one. On the motorway is a different story, I take the speed limit as 80 and use that as a guide. Can knock loads of time off if you've got a long journey.

Siders77 Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 But you don't get what i'm trying to say. How do you know that at 2am no one will be out. Some one could be walking their dog (My neighbour does) or just be going for a walk because they can't sleep.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 it doesnt matter what time it is or where you are , anything can happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 anything can happen i iant gonna deny that and anyone i dont agree with speeding in built up areas. hows come people keep goign on at me when others have said they have gone faster. (sorry to bring you ino this joe) joe said he had done 145mph in a bmw and wont one says anything to that. he probally is telling the truth like i was saying my boss can put his car round a round about at 100mph. and still be in full control of the car.

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 control maybe , but if someone steps out at a crossing in front of you , your approaching them 3 times faster than you should be and are more then likely going to kill someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 yeah ur right there but do you no how good his reaction times are, do you no what the car is capable of, do you no how quickly the car will stop, no? didnt think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Do you know when someone is gonna step out in front of you? No.....Didn't think so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 If you think his amazing reaction times actually make a bit of difference, you're wrong. If you think that gives him the right to drive like a dick (In a hairdresser's car :) ), you're wrong. Stop being wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 (edited) you two oviously odnt agree with speeding. if i had it my way there owuld be no speed limits on motor ways etc apart from built up areas. why do i get the fealing that people get jealous of someones car becuase they cant have one, or offord one. and for the record a lotus elise aint a hairdressers car osmething like a mazda mx5 is a hair dressers car. the elise he has is a road legal track car pretty much. i would like to see a hair dresser offord what he has paid for it. or even try and drive it. the hair dresser would get in it and go "ooo it got no power steering i might get her, o no the clutch is to stiff i cant change gear" Edited September 4, 2005 by ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
