...do you drive your RS or ANY car(for Lee ) fast?NO,then your a fucking liar.

If you went out of control and killed an inocent person how would you feel?

ME included.....

Does that thought make you slow down?

BE HONEST.

 

Does it have to be an RS Phil or can i answer?

Yes it has over the last few years slowed me down. I am a very sensible driver now and only put my foot down in what i beleive is a safe place to do so...

i dont drive an rs on the road anymore.....too boy racerish for me

 

No

 

no...but then im banned at some maybe theres a moral there

 

there is a huge difference in driving fast in a location where there is nothing around late at night , compared to driving like a twat along a normal road with pedestrians and other road users ... ..

but if you get caught i cant see the reasoning for telling the world hey i was a twat and got caught for racing / dangerous driving ...

there is a time and place for everything in this world ... with age normally comes wisdom ... and responsibility ...
sorry phil i drive within the speed limit's around 99.5% of the time on the public roads.. and cover around 40k per year i have seen too many accidents to actually want to become one...

 

phil's pissed again lets hope he's not driving tonight though

 

No Martin i am half sober....death is very serious as there is no coming back......Also i saw a dead person today in a car crash...very disturbing....never seen a just dead person before....and i pray to God you lot NEVER see one.

 

Now and then I will speed in places I know I really shouldn't but generally I am good and don't do silly overtaking, driving too fast for the road etc generally.

If I ever ran somebody down and killed them I would be absolutely fookin mortified....

 

Well..
1) Honestly. Of course I speed.
2) Do I always do it where its as safe as it can be. Honestly, No.
3) How would I feel if I maimed or killed someone else on the road. Pretty shitty I would imagine
4) Does any of the above make me slow down. Honestly, No.

All I know is that I can't just drive along an open clear road (without speed cameras) at the speed limit. I find my concentration increasing, my speed rising and my braking later.

Maybe its a low boredom threshold, or some weird Andrenalin addiction. That I need to feel like Im doing something exciting all the time. I'm not saying its right. Or that its clever. And I would prefer others not to follow my example.

I suppose it will take a substantial off, to stop me.

 

phil, i was involved in the tail end of a multiple pile up in france.... quite a few dead people in very bad shape.. not nice.but time will heal your memory..it has for me

 

seen two myself, and can only say that martin is right, time does heal..

 

its Still wrong Phil as i drive a van

 

i am a fcuking liar...

 

I can honestly say that I do no more than about 120 every day I go to or from work. Not constantly but only for a few short bursts. I was lucky today though. I usually join the A120 to Chelmsford from Woodham at full pelt. Lucky enough today I carried on up the slip road instead of cutting across and was greeted by the site of the Five-0 in the outside lane.

I find that if I start to drive at the same speed as everyone else, I loose concentration and start to drift off.

I was unfortunate enough to witness the loss of a biker who hit a telegraph pole about a year or so ago. I go past it everyday and it always makes me aware of my mortality.

 

I have honestly never driven like a prick on public roads, not worth the aftermath if anything does go wrong.

I used to be a very confident driver, since my accident last month ive lost all confidence, im honestly not interested in driving anymore

 

Ive slowed down a hell of alot over the years,every close call ive had has gave me that bit more experiance,I do go nuts but its never around pedestrians.and if it does it does get a bit outta control rule 1 is dont hit anything ,Ive never thought about hitting a person only other cars and wall etc.so unless it happens(which I really hope doesnt)then I dont know how I would feel.


Theres a time and a place,early hours is normally the best time

 

not really botherd if ya crash ya crash too many variables imo

 

exactly,lets not get all depressed thinking about it

 

I only drive my Cos to it's full extent when I know there are no possible risks to anyone but myself (or me and Sheady on the A404, and then when there are no other cars in the way). Have done in the past, since I've got the level of power I have now, I think very carefully before giving it a good boot full.


Ade.

 

save typing it.......the above sums it up for me

i know a lad who was driving down the bypass, random bloke walks out (pissed i think he was, not that it matter for my point), neither have a chance to avoid, bloke dies instantly, driver was fucked up (mentally not physically) for ages, cant say for sure how id feel but pretty much like this lad did as a guess, lets hope i never find out!

 

hey matt my suspension arm snapped on the last bend on the dronny bypass @ 110mph

 

FUCK

you'll know the bits round the top dronny near hill top that have ped crossing bridges then pal, this bloke walked out round there hilly ploughed him in a scoob, dunno if he was speeding, i would guess so tbh

done silly speeds on there in the razzy gus... on at chessy island, flat out every cog to top of hill, 7k in 5th, thought i was a gonner!!!....and taking off

 

IMO time will not heal your memory that shite is stuck with your for life, there will allways be some thing that will come along and remind you of the day.

 

thought i was a gonner crashed a cossie and owned a powerful one then a bastard diesel audi tries to kill me shit bricks i tell thee

 

Rs Gus

the pics you posted on here

saw them

 

yes i can drive like a knobber but when its about 2am and clear on the m25 ive taken my car off the clock i do speed normallly too i admit but............i am careful on small roads and built up areas....which really i suppose dont mean shit really.

 

Never thought much about it as I personally dont drive yet, but in built up area's ive often told my mate to slow down, incase a kid pops out from behind a car, bad enough an adult but a kid can see visions and having that memory isnt worth thinking about!

 

My dads best friend was killed in a car accident
My cousin was killed in a bike accident
My best friend was killed in a car accident (he was on foot and got runover)

None of them were speed related, one was a vehicle failure, two were just bad drivers, but not speeding (or if they were then not by much), so im not sure that speed in isolation is quite the big problem its made out to be.

 

Same goes for me too, I know I shouldnt im not gaft , but I cant help it sometimes

 

if you hit someone at 60 or 70,theyre still gonna die,speed doesnt kill in its own right,its the application ,as it IS possible to lose control within the speed limit if the conditios are wrong.
seen a few people dead unfortunately,one when the coach i was going to lemans in hit someone at a set of traffic lights (the pedestrian just walked out in front of the bus which was doing a MAX of 15-20mph so speed was immaterial!)she ended up underneath the rear wheels because she thought,like a lot of people in london or other big areas(in my experience!) that if she simply stepped out and didnt acknowledge the traffic she would be fine and traffic would stop,she was wrong.
i hope no one has to see someone die like i did in the gulf tho,thats NOT nice(or car related,and i dont really want to go into it)

 

Speed kills, Guilt lasts a lifetime but eventually time heals wounds, and life goes on !

 

Likewise ...

 

always a time and a place.its not always you the driver that needs to be careful.its other nutters on the road.never know what crazy things the next person will do.iv had so many near misses due to people not looking around them.pulling out,slowing down fast for no reason.roads are a dangerous place.

 

if speed kills,every formula 1 driver would be dead,its the application of speed,regardless of how much speed is used

 

what a dilemma?? I thought initially that no I am a responsible driver which 99.9% of the time I am with my 6 points and all

then I started thinking about all the little moments i.e. 0.1% when in tragic circumstances it is quite possible I could of killed someone due to either excessive speed, lack of skill, mechanical failure or another road users lack of awareness etc.

Unfortunately I am a person who believes that accidents do unfortunately happen and shit does happen that we don't want, and it is not always imperative to go looking for a reason or someone to blame, so to summarise:


No, just keep out my f&*king way

 

quite right,blame culture is a real bugbear of mine,seriously pisses me off,accidents happen,its the way of the world. stop making kids wear goggles to play conkers etc....if you never get experience of falling over and having pain or realising things can hurt then one day you might step out in the road without looking because youve never had an accident and dont have a sense of fear and self preservation,everything always ends up smelling of roses

 

I agree mate we live in this wank world where everything has to have a reason and every condition has a name just to make us a feel better

how I got through my child years god only knows some of the stunts we used to get up to, it didn't aaaaaaaaaaafffffe c c c t me
