so, what's your take on this?
should we drive within the speed limit?

Like in most countries, speed limits are not usually followed. There will always be posted limits but most people tend to drive 10% to 20% faster. Like in the US, people do 85mph on interstates with a 70mph limit or those running 70mph on 55mph zones.

My take is that if you think is car is capable enough to accelerate and brake within your driving skill, then go for it. If you find yourself speeding and you are caught, then be responsible enough to accept the consequences.

I admit that I drive faster than others and I make it a point to test how capable a new ride comes into my hand. However, I am watchful of marked speed cameras or dubious parked vehicles on the road side either here or driving on another country. I plan to make that trip to Germany soon and try out their no restriction autobahns.

Im a very defensive driver with a very heavy foot. Been driving for 25 years with ZERO accident. and been driving a lot. I put in a lot of mileage thru the years. Its not about speed yeah its about how safe a person can drive.

the "justifications" to speeding are many and varied.

a colleague recently found his good solution.
"dr. d! i got myself a driver! i can now take a nap.. the longer the traffic, the longer the nap!"

Reckless if you endanger others. The Germans have proven that giving people the option to go faster does not endanger slower drivers. If you can't drive fast on expressways, then keep on the slow lane. Driving slow on the fast lane is just being inconsiderate and reckless.

You need more than a good braking system to drive the car faster - engine, tranny, suspension, safety systems, etc. If you're car is not up for it, then don't push your car to speeds it can't sustain.

Back to topic - OT na tayo sobra.

Justifying a wrong with another wrong..how smart can that be?

The point is simple..drive safely..if theres a limit stay within the limit..if theres no limit then fly away with your life
