ke382TG Forums Junkie Registered: May 2002	Re: 122km/h in a 60km/h zone. Thu, 28 October 2004 02:16 This thread offers some interesting insight into peoples driving habits. Like most "fun" driving there is a time and place (a residential area is not really the place at any time for doing triple the speed limit ) Know your abilities and limits and those of your car. A late model car recently decided to do around 180km/h down the dual carriage road near my place (speed limit 100km/h). The dip shit did this at around 3pm in mild traffic, he got his speed up down a gradual hill and caught the traffic in front, his obvious inexperience did not allow him to judge his braking distance as he approached the cars in front, he locked up, slid into centre barrier which launched the car into the air, then it landed and must have flipped several times as it slid to a stop more than a couple of hundred metres past it's initial lockup. The car burst into flames, the driver and 3 passengers all died. I came down the road as the car was on fire and police etc were arriving. The distance that the car had travelled after hitting the wall was absolutely amazing, they must have been really moving. This type of incident is what I define as F$%KING stupidity and a sad waste of 4 lives (lucky not to have taken others with them). If the driver had decided to impress his lady friends with the great skill required in firmly planting your right foot into the accelerator pedal on a straight road when the road was clear of other cars they would no doubt still be here today I think if most people realised how long it will take them to stop at these sorts of speed and how shit their cars handle and stop from these speeds they might think twice. But they just don't know this until it's too late in most cases. I am not saying don't do fun/stupid stuff in a car (most people do at some stage), but choose your time and place well like some people have said. So if you do come to grief you only take yourself out not innocent members of the public. I have a reasonable street car (12 seconds over the quarter and does ok lap times at the track), I love to give my car a boot full when ever I can. I can say that I have never lost a point on my licence though and I do all the dodgy shit that everyone else does, I just pick and choose my time and place. Just getting in the car and doing the speed limit has a certain level of risk involved, everything we do involves risk. Be smart about what you do though so you can minimise the risk to yourself and others and enjoy your car for a long time to come. Take care...........
