Never. If I have one of my little brothers or my sister or either of my parents, I drive so safe, it borders on lunacy! :confused:

Nah, not really

But today, I saw this Gold GS300 flying by me at around 100+ mph....

Since there was no traffic, I accelarated to match the car's speed at around 80mph (for some reason, the driver slowed down)

Well, I pull up next to it, drop down to 3rd and then.....

The Driver is a mom with HER daughter in her passenger seat...

So I'm like, uh, nevermind...so I drop speed down to 65

Well, after 5 minutes, she again, stomps on the pedal and goes to nearly 100+mph again, through traffic this time..

I probably don't drive extremely dangerously...however, if SWScorch ever comes around your neighborhood, keep your dog inside :) He nailed my aunts little tiny dog. They must have had to peel that poor thing off the pavement :(

I don't drink and drive, I don't drive beyond the car's limit, I feel I am knowledgeable of road conditions I can tell if a road is dangerous or not.

In most cases, now, I drive in a safe manor when other people are in the car.

Now, when I was younger, it was a different story. I had a convertible, and I'd take my friends out on the open road and take it up to ~100MPH and tell them to stand up. They all loved it (especially the chicks) but man, just imagine if a bird or a deer or something like that would have jumped out...whoa. Glad those days are over :eek:

When the car is empty I push the limits a bit more. It's fun. I never do it around other cars, I don't want the guilt of hurting omebody on my mind.

<< You can also see me jump medians, drive on the curb, pass on the right, exceed the speed limit, wrong way, cross double yellow lines, run red lights (slowly), etc. :D >>



Except for the "slowly" part, sounds like standard Vegas traffic!

I have been known to do 'crazy' things, but they are always very controlled & only when I can be certain I would be the only possible car involved. If there are other people in the car I add the factor that if I were to wreck, nobody can get hurt (in other words if I do anything 'abnormal' with ppl in the car, I keep it under 20-30.

Now I probably should mention that I did get in a car accident today, and it was my fault, but it had nothing to do with wreckless driving, but just not looking well enough for driving in a new area. I was actually driving real relaxed like & I guess just too relaxed. Either way, other than my car nobody was hurt & the truck that hit me only suffered a scratched bumper.

What does it matter if there are other people in your car? What about cars coming the other way? And just for clarification, there is no such thing as safely driving dangerously, due to the conflicting definitions of safe and dangerous. On the other hand, it's probably safer to drive a Corvette on the highway at 80 than it is to drive a Kia on the same highway at 55.
