[QUOTE="Jandurin"]I'm speeding right now!acekallorly? No. :P Anyway, I almost never speed anymore. I dun did get growned up and now I fear for my car more. :o
Lull all those accidents could happen going 40 miles per hour.Pittfan666Especially since most of them had people looking away from the road. Inattentive driving ftl.
Lull all those accidents could happen going 40 miles per hour.Pittfan666That is true. Perhaps they should have payed more attention to the road.
lulz It's more a message to drivers everywhere. Pay attention to the damn road. Speeding or not, I always leave enough room ahead of me to stop, and I ALWAYS watch the road. Even paying 100% attention isn't enough, sometimes.look quite real on some of them too. Hope this is a clear message too all you speedsters.

Is this a reason to go above 40 miles per hour in a 40 zone?
Not really no. Speeding is not good.[QUOTE="Pittfan666"]Lull all those accidents could happen going 40 miles per hour.Theokhoth
Is this a reason to go above 40 miles per hour in a 40 zone?
No, but it's a reason to not get your panties in a bunch about going 45 or 50 in a 40 zone :oThat video had nothing to do with speeding. It had everything to do with paying attention to the road and not acting like a pompous idiot. I could get into similar accidents going 20 MPH if I was stupid enough to look out my window for a full minute. I'm still going to speed. :)Dark__Link
Seems like a bad method of reasoning. "Oh, they crashed because they didn't pay attention, not because the sped, so speeding therefore is perfectly fine."
Seems to me the message one should take from that video is, "Don't drive".Seems like a bad method of reasoning. "Oh, they crashed because they didn't pay attention, not because the sped, so speeding therefore is perfectly fine."

I tend to go over 5 miles over the speed limit.
mainly due because if i do get pull over, i won't get any points added to my score if i just go 5 miles over the speed limit.
I been trying not to speed and tried to drive good. sometime even I don't pay attence to how much gas I'm putting in and go a little too fast, but then I realize it and reduce speed.
now speeding can be even worst while driving in snow cover roads.
Me and a friend of mine went to go see the Unborn that day we got a ton of snow over night, so all the roads were cover. I have to agree detraction can be fatal in driving. What had happen was that we was driving down a small road when a guy ahead of us unexpectedly slow down to make a turn into a neighborhood. Well I was going a little too fast for my own good, i tried to stop, even with the large gap between me and the ahead SUV, but the wheels was sliding from the snow, so in a last minute move, i turn into the side and went into a shallow snow cover ditch.
Luckily my big old Toyota Tundra Truck got me out of the right away and we saw that movie that day, but yea i was quite scare from that.
Also Inexperience can be bad when driving too. I got into my first accident a week after i got my driver license...........Yep.
wasn't the truck,(I got the truck that Christmas from my grandapa in 2007, he so kind :-)........) was the van, which the frame was damage too badly and it was total. I won't get into the details.
But yea, if you don't pay attince on what your doing while driving, you will fine out the hard way of the price of driving poorly.
it cost me 200$................................................................but at least i was insured.
but hey, it turns out the person who hit me was also a Hudson Jaycee. We just laugh it out about what happen, at least her car was fix up brand new.
You shouldn't be going above, what, 20 mph on snow covered roads.now speeding can be even worst while driving in snow cover roads.

But speeding will still increase the chances of getting in an accident. Best not to risk it. Death or other things is not worth it.dave123321Not much. The real risk increase is when you get into a motor vehicle.
[QUOTE="dave123321"]But speeding will still increase the chances of getting in an accident. Best not to risk it. Death or other things is not worth it.JandurinNot much. The real risk increase is when you get into a motor vehicle. Still , speeding should be avoided.
[QUOTE="shemrom"]You shouldn't be going above, what, 20 mph on snow covered roads. want to know something funny, with 4 wheel drive on I like to go just under the speed limit with no one around . yea it bad, but dam it it's a truck and it good in snow. i was doing some laps in my friend old neighborhood that January 2008 with the truck since the snow haven't been plow yet. It was the bets fun i had with the truck. i do drive safe though, I'm not a risk taker.now speeding can be even worst while driving in snow cover roads.

The real risk increase is when you get into a motor vehicle. Still , speeding should be avoided. I just don't know that I agree. Because speeding is defined as anything going over the posted speed limit, and that means you're assuming whoever posted the speed limit know what they're on about. I would say: "Going faster than is safe should be avoided."

If humans were meant to drive, we would have been born with wheels and an engine :pSeems like a bad method of reasoning.

The speed limit is the highest speed you should go under the safest conditions. During night-time or bad weather, you're supposed to go slower.

You're wrong.The speed limit is the highest speed you should go under the safest conditions. During night-time or bad weather, you're supposed to go slower.

Now Freezing rain, hell no vehicle can drive well in that. that where you must drive slow in that.
That is true. So speeding at a speed that is unsafe.like going 80 in a 60.dave123321Honestly, going 80 at all is "unsafe". :P Not to say I don't go 80, but that's a fast speed.

No, I'm not. Basic Driver's Ed here. The speed limit is the cap at the speed you can go under the safest conditions. In times of bad weather or poor visibility, or when there are many pedestrians and construction workers, you go slower.
I understand the "law" but I think in the "safest" conditions, a lot of posted speed limits are completely stupid. I ALSO think there are speed limit signs that are HIGHER than I would consider safe. I don't need you to spout technicalities at me. "speed limits are a limit :o Who would have guessed?"No, I'm not. Basic Driver's Ed here.

Your wheels will response a lot more when going that fast if you decided to make an turn unfortunately my parents like to go that speed a lot on the high way. ehh, am i the only one in my family who is a defense driver?

Then I'm not wrong. You just have a (poor) opinion on speed limits.
Better than having no opinion at all.Then I'm not wrong. You just have a (poor) opinion on speed limits.

Thats not what Dark_Link is saying though, just don't speed when its not appropriate, speed is'nt the 'End All' of deaths on roads, it does'nt help, but eveyone being super attentive would.
Speeding is not perfectly fine, speed in excess of the conditions and terrain, when there are other people around is bad. I see nothing wrong with ripping it down a road with clear visibility when they're is nothing around and no one in my car. It's my life, if anyone's gonna take it its me..
I do most of my driving at night, but when driving through a city, i slow right down as soon as i see other people, mainly pedestrians. Only time i've crashed was because i was going to fast, on my motorbike, the road was dead as i was going 60, i nearly was too.
good fun. very exhilarating.
