Maturity is the only good thing that I can think of when I think about how I started driving late, only getting my license 6 months back at 23.
I love going fast, I love cars and I love the feeling I get when I drive a quick car and put my foot down.
But I'm not a young kid and I do know better. It worries me sometimes when I think what I might have been like if I had started driving at 17. I don't usually go too fast for the situation but we all make mistakes and I'm sure that my judgement as a 23 year old man is much better than that of a 17 year old kid.

I've ran someone over, really sickening experience for me although i imagine it was worse for her. To think what shock to her body the impact must have made....a round shaped dent (semi circle) in the front bumper+bonnet which must have impacted by atleast a foot, clumps of hair and spots of blood in the windscreen glass from her head.
I wasn't speeding btw, I was doing 45 in a 60. Broke both her legs and loads of cuts/bruised and a fook-off gash in her skull. It might have been more i'm just going on what i seen at the time+what the paramedics said.
That was only 45mph and she was lucky not to be dead, now if i'd been speeding.....

Don't really race on road as often as I used to, although when I do, its mainly on empty roads. We don't have any dragstrips or race tracks that allow us to do trackdays here in denmark, and although im not using it as en excuse, I just dont see why I shouldn't speed when I feel like it and when I feel its safe.
I can't keep worrying if someone will jump out infront of me on an empty highway in the middle of the night as that's out of my control, but I can minimize the chances of something happening by speeding on empty highways.

If it'd been my fault I would have topped myself.

Im sure a lot of people would be put off driving if they hit someone. Like you said though it wasnt your fault.
