I just dont understand people that say they drive safely over 100mph. The fact of driving over 100 mph is reckless driving no matter how safely you drive or even if no one else is on the road. Thats why there are rules and laws. Driving fast is all good but your putting others in danger too so do it on the tracks. That my 2cents.

Driving more than 105mph on public roads...

It's dangerous, and it wastes gas... Unless it's at the track.

To each their own.. I rather have fun in twisty roads, than going 130mph+ on a straight road.

How is it unsafe to drive over 100mph on a nearly empty highway with perfect visibility? And have you guys ever heard of the Autobahn?

Ok then after you get pulled over, try to prove that it is safe and explain to that to the judge, see what he or she have to say. Good luck. Just because you think its safe doesnt mean its safe.

Thanks for not answering my question and just appealing to authority. It would have been quicker just to say "It's not" or "I don't know".

Here's a bonus tip for the future - laws do not have an a priori connection to safety or morality.

I'm glad you're here to babysit us and tell us how to drive our cars because we might go over. Are you saying 99 is okay or is that also too fast? What speed should we all be going sir?

144. Toll road in Texas with 85mph speed limit. It was at one of the ends of the toll. Flat, no cars, clear skies. If I was going to hit any other living thing, it would have been a hog or something.

Some people take this thread to seriously. People drive recklessly whether you approve or not. Innocent people die of second hand smoke, doesnt stop many from smoking or change your opinion about smokers. Hell, you probably are one, or have a close relative or friend that is. Big deal.

So can you garantee there are no other human road users on the road at 2:00AM?
If there are other human road users other than baby squirrels or innocent raccoons you will cut your **** off and put it in your mouth?

Seriously this needs to stop. With the way your acting it sounds like you need detention or something.
