I'm with Phil here. Driving fast does not equal to racing or unsafe driving
or whatever. This is what the "speed kills" lobby wants you to believe to
keep the revenue flowing. Driving fast to get from point A to point B
quickly and finding pleasure in driving at the same time is one thing -
deliberately taking unnecessary risks and provoking dangerous situations on
the road for thrills is another.
