Driving directions

While driving today I realized I no longer take notice of the posted speed limit. What I mean is I see the sign but it no longer registers in my mind to slow down. Very rarely do I actually realize the posted speed and drive it. (Usually when I notice the patrol car in the vicinity)

I remember few years back when I was still under the prohibitory license and making sure I followed every common sense rule of the road. Thankfully, though, I haven't yet gotten burned on my sloppy driving. Driving is slowly becoming as common as breathing and also as subconscious.

Any other Sci-fers suffer from some form of this?

I don't drive, but from what I've seen, you just go as fast as everyone else.

Ah, precisely the reason I'm working on migrating to The Apple. Junk the car and be happy when I get mugged in the park or while riding the W out to the ocean.

 

i still got a couple years to go

 

kajolishot, I dont know if it is suffering. I have a general disregard for the speedlimit, in that I want my car to consume my gas most economically, and it does so at 2250 RPMS, so whichever gear I'm in, I try to keep it at that. This means I usually go 10 over on the high way, and 40 mph in 25 mph zones.

I also drive around with a BIG RED rejection sticker, giving police all the more reason to pull me over, and I have no plans of getting a new sticker.

I believe the only reason I get away with this is small town politics. I know every cop, and they know me, so I dont get pulled over in my town

do you provide free doughnuts for your local police or something?

 

I am always checking how fast I am going. If I know the area I know where to find the speed limit signs so I make no attempt to have to remember the speed limit on that road. I do always look for the sign for two reasons... one, I don't want to get a ticket. Second, a police officer stopped me because he said I was not going 45 (the posted speed). He doesn't know I did 90. I did not get a ticket. I was happy because he wanted to write me up for criminal trespass, too.

 

No... my family has lived here for four generations, both sides are well known and liked among the locals, we get a lot of lee way.

 

I got over going fast within 3 months of getting my license, now I just concentrate on getting there, and usually plan out a good amount of time to accomplish that. Like I go to college 20 miles away, so I usually leave 40 minutes before class. I know I can get there in about 20 minutes, but what if there is an accident on the highway? Driving is about time management, though some people speed for thrills.

 

nah, our spooky won't be put off that easy, restraining orders, threats of death etc just bounce off our kid. Remember arnie in the terminator??

gotta admire his perseverance haven't you?

Well, a certain deity expects me to bear a messenger-child in the near future. Deities aren't spooked away easily....

 

I've been reading more and more about cars having black boxes. Wonder if they could be used by law enforcement to convict speeders in traffic court. I have a fairly recent auto., 2000 model and I have heard the newer the model the higher the chance of your car having such a device.

Beware.

 

speeding in straight lines requires no talent except that which most primates can manage

nothing more thrilling than being able to put your car in a 4 wheel drift into a corner as you find the perfect line and hold the revs just off valve smashing, throwing the gear stick up again as you accelerate to an insane speed for the next corner as you double clutch to stop from blowing the engine as you cut down 2 gears,
throw the car sideways agian and then use the full power of the engine to catapolt you through the corner knowing the familiar
settling points of the suspension as you feel every point of absorbtion and road surface contact, adrenalin racing as you feel the rubber on the tires being slowly removed from every corner
as they heat up increasing your sideways drifting just waiting for the small straight that you know so well, as you presure the engine to almost breaking point straining, trying to get to that impossible speed where nothing else matters and life and death become only relavent to how well you can handle the next corner and how well you know every inch of every working part of your purring-throbbing freedom ride of extasy,
holding on to the last second before you must ease off the throttle,
listening to every piston as it slows sucking back the unspent fuel
purring gargling straining as the heat from the engine rushes through and soaks you in the bitter sweat taste of heated rubber and fuel
drenched in sweat you roll down the window and hear
"can i take your order please"
