Some people certainly choose to speed for their own entertainment. Driving fast can be very fun. Having written that, it also does not have to needlessly endanger other people, although some people make selfish choices and do just that.
Certainly you can't think that anything other than a very small percentage of speeding tickets fall under the "entertainment" umbrella, can you?
So you have blatantly chosen to not "co-operate in the same rules as the rest of us" (still looking for that "rest of us" definition BTW) by breaking the rules of the road while riding your bike.
Aren't you being a bit hypocritical with your rant?
As someone who thinks that "it is very likely for the user of a powerful motorvehicle to cause grief to others" it's obvious that you truly do have issues.
Pete, your user icon says it all.
And no, I have not
blatently chosen to not co-operate in the same rules as the rest of the law abiding citizens out there that also chose to obey the rules... otherwise known as "the rest of us."
And if read the article, you would see that the driver of the sports car choses to do so only a few days of the week... and obviously for entertainment value as "It is a style that is cramped... "
Oh BTW, ever come up with a real reason for any motorist to really need to do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds?
