Have I made any such argument that it's okay to drive fast under any and all circumstances?

so you wake up at 5 AM on sunday mornings to drive fast? 

 

what's the psychology behind the guy who always needs to drive fast and rev the engine? to me, it's like the guy who needs to have a pitbull as a pet.

Are you averse to having an intelligent discussion?  A fine, rational post by me asking multiple questions of you to which you answer none, comment on nothing written, and reply with utter nonsense.  Sometimes I truly wonder why I spend time here.

You never know when a cat will cross the road. 

Adrenaline is over-rated and symptomatic of unresolved issues. 

That's my argument for slowing down.

What was your question?

Well, it seems hard to believe you can't accept folk have hobby's...

 

As for poster of the year, nice to see someone remembers....????

I don't consider driving a revved up car on the roads a hobby.

Fast cars should have dedicated race tracks. Like go-karting. 

Seriously, can you not satisfy your urge for speed with go-karting? Or do you enjoy the inherent risk of the road? 

And that's enough for me on this topic.

No,

I was being sort of flippant.

But the argument stands. Animals can cross the roads abrubtly. Stupid people can cross roads abruptly. The need to drive your car like a Formula 1 driver is an over-rated form of enjoyment. Go get laid. 

I'm outta here.

Clownish response tailored for the clownish world that's overtaking us.  If you're going to make a joke it's a chicken that crosses the road, not a cat.

It's not a joke.

I've nearly been hit by cars many times as a pedestrian. 

A couple of times, people driving out of their driveways like maniacs. 

I don't agree with what you're saying.

But I ain't gonna argue forever.

Yeah, that's a sad reality of the world we live in.

That streets are not designed to safely handle the horsepower of those cars. 

 

The Ferrari was modeled on Formula 1 racing cars, wasn't it?

Formula 1 drivers have dedicated tracks. 

 

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case.

I am in the ‘the young over exuberant drivers, and the older drivers hoping to relive their youth and dreaming their reflexes are what they once were, are best keeping to common sense speed limits for the safety of all’ camp.

Shootings happen here daily, as much per capita as the US. Just not as many mass shooting, yet. You don't hear about all of them because the media focuses on gold thefts, snakes in Bangkok houses and kids attacking others 5 against 1 with sticks.

Gun deaths per 100k population:
US:  15.6

Thailand: 3.1

4.12 to 3.11 actually, so it's a tad higher
