A Utopian solution?

100 mph road? My own solution would be to have no speed limits at all.

However, limits are necessary to protect pedestrians, drivers who might be old or inexperienced, plus of course ignorant and stupid drivers.

I like to drive fast, but I choose to live in, and enjoy the benefits of a collective society (the Western World).

In this context, how can I justify my right to kill myself by driving too fast? Some poor bastard will have to scrape me up!

There are thousands of speed traps. We each invent our own. For many this is a fact of driving life … Just this once or I'll be late … If I can just pass this idiot in front …

You know what your's are. All I suggest is that you become more aware of them. If you think you don't need this advice you could find that going too fast is dead easy ....

The fastest I have driven is about 180 miles per hour. This was on a circuit in a sports car. On the road? Well I tend to stick to the limits ...

Yes, I think there are places where I could safely drive at 100+ mph, yes I have a safe car, yes I'm a highly trained driver ... But there are social and eco issues to consider ... And anyway, I can't afford the speeding tickets!

Agree?

It's your prerogative to agree or disagree with the views about speeding that are expressed here ...

But PLEASE REMEMBER, whoever you are and whatever you drive - that it's not only high speed that kills … Any speed can kill.
