"Memento Mori" is basically a reminder of your mortality, usually shown by a skull, but I'm pretty sure that another symbol could serve a similar purpose. For example, your car/driving habits.

Yes he did. Much like the idiots in Getaway in Stockholm they have no respect for other people. TO say you are on the roads at 2.00 in the mornig and there are no other cars ignores that fact that there ARE other motorists who will beOriginally Posted by Matra et Alpine
1. not expecting an idiot to be travelling at take off speeds
2. either tired or pissed on their way home from something and thus less likely to be aware of even safely driving motorists.
3. On their way to shift work jobs and be still groggy.
Respect other users and go race on a track. We have covered this before and its neithe overly expensive or that difficult.

Im a stupid young idiot and I know I drive too quick, but at least I admit it.
Im amazed at the level of hypocrisy that must be floating round here.
Speed makes whats gonna happen worse, but it isnt the CAUSE of many accidents. And whilst you guys are saying take it to a track, and do a quater mile etc etc, we are all human, we like fast cars, and if the opportunity arises we are going to use that performance. Sorry but this is just human nature. The trick is to try and temper that with judgement. I would also add that until you have driven a REALLY fast car you might not be able to realise just how quick you can get to silly speeds in short distances. I mean my car does 1/8th miles in 7sec or less at terminals well over 100mph. Thats only 200metres ffs. When joining the motorway its easy to start on the slip road at 30 and be doing 150+ by the time you are actually on the motorway.
Believe me, you dont need as much space as you think, and if no one else is around to get hurt then thats one of the beauties of a free country.

Your last line is important. So is the first. I have had a car to 180kmh on a country road. There were no cars in front or behind me ( I thought). There were no side roads and you could see off the side of the road over the fields so there was ample visibility. I reached that speed, sat on it for about a minute and slowed down. Imagine my surprise at seeing a Police car closing in my mirror, which I had been checking (paranoid). Where did it come from. How did he get so close when I was travelling at 180kmh? How badly was I about to be reamed? Well he dod me for 130kmh in a 100kmh zone which I gladly accepted. But I still dont know where he came from. At least I wasnt trying to work out where a car come from that collided with at that speed. Your right that speed in itself does not cause accidents. But it helps make them a lot worse. Good luck.Originally Posted by Bladerider
