- Why can't you go faster than the speed limit, simple, because it's
- against the law.
- If you break the law then you should be punished, period.
-
-
- Just because YOU don't agree with a law doesn't mean that you can go out
- and break it.

-
- The problem is everyone is NOT exposed to this training, people panic
- and when they do they can cause problems for even the most experienced driver.
-
- Plus the fact that you can be taught everything in the book about driving
- and still make a mistake.
-
-
- Anyway, this is pointless, you think you're an ace driver and are going
- to continue to go as fast as you regularly go and nothing I say is going to
- change that (at least until you actually have a serious accident) so lets just
- skip it.
