Mr Levitt,

Can someone give this man an AMEN!!! You are layin' it down brother!

Seriously, people....Take responsibility for your driving habits. Speed
limits are enforced for a reason.  Imagine A world of no speed
limits.......Soccer moms doing 100+ in ford explorers.....16 year old kids
in Camaros....People would be killing each other everywhere. Its not hard
to obey the law. Driver schools and autocross are great (and legal) ways to
get your rocks off where you can push it to the limit safely. Driving like
a maniac on the street is just STUPID. I don't care who you are. You are
putting innocent people in danger when you drive too fast on the street.

6 months ago I almost lost my life because of a careless driver. A woman
lost control of her ford explorer, drove across the center median, and I
broadsided her, at approximately 50mph. I had to be sawed out of my little
GTI, and I had to be Medi-vac-ed to a hospital. I will have problems with
my back for the rest of my life, all because somebody didn't take driving
seriously.

The point I'm trying to make here is that driving is serious business. I
see a lot of people talking about tearing through 25mph corners at
60....Imagine if you lost control of your car (don't give me that 'im a
good driver sh-t', christian fittipaldi even loses it sometimes) and hit
someone, say a family of three. Not many people can survive a head-on at
60. Is it really worth it??

Use your brain people. 

I hope that cop finds you, before you hurt someone, or yourself.

save it for the track, dude.
