I've seen myself driving quite quickly on dual carraigeways braking from around that speed to go through roundabouts. There aren't many other cars to take out with you if you lose it at 4 in the morning though.
Time and place for it, I've always said it. As much as I hate attention seekers, if he was wanting to drive a bit quickly it was quite a sensible option to go to an industrial estate that I'm assuming was near empty instead of bombing about the streets

That's the problem, he seems to keep getting lucky when driving like a clert and therefore isn't learning from it and continues to drive in a dangerous manner. I just hope the day his luck does run out, he doesn't take any innocent bystanders with him.
Sorry Mike but I'll put money on the fact that you're driven in what would be classed as a 'dangerous manner', the same as anyone else on here. Let's not start with the holier than thou stuff
I'm not starting with the holier than thou stuff. I'm saying this lad keeps getting lucky so he isn't learning and he's taking more risks instead so when his luck does run out, he's potentially going to have an even bigger accident.
I suppose the 'dangerous manner' thing comes down to perspective, I'm not proud of some of my past driving but I wouldn't actually call it dangerous. I've definitely never thought I should be dead because of it.

Oh my goodness everyone, I just crossed the road there and literally 5 secs later a double decker bus went by right where I walked.
I should probably be dead

I think we all drive like a bit of a tit but its just that we don't post it up on a forum.
Serious question, were you just driving like that to impress a lass???
Also isn't your vision fucked or something because you got a serious poke in the eye???

80 on a Mway and 120mph in an industrial estate are two entirely different kettles of fish

what if you had a kettle of fish in your car while doing 120mph in an industrial estate?

This is too much, I need quotes from other threads in which people contradict themselves.
