I am not saying what he did is wrong or right. I think anyone who has owned a sport car is guilty!!
Just my 2 cents.
The point is not guilty or not; I drove my Geo Metro 20 miles over the speed limit. I believe most people were judging how safe it was considering the suroundings.

The dividing line is always the same:

If you want to drive 200mph on an absolutely flat road with clear visibility and NO OTHER cars on the road, I bet no one on here would have a problem.

If you want to drive deep into the triple digits in traffic (even if you have an open lane), you run the risk that the soccer mom in the mini-van will see you closing in her rear view, freak out, and swerve into your lane, taking you and her kids out. People do irrational things. This is only exacerbated if you weave in and out.

All discussions depend on where in between those two examples the driving falls.

Really was not that bad of a video. You want to see some weaving through traffic find the video of the guy and his wife in denmark.

It's nice to see some of the posts that have been made here since I pulled the vid. I agree that my driving in the video was not the safest and that's why I didn't post it here for a while. I decided to give it a shot since soo many people had seen it and didn't seem bothered by it. As soon as I posted it here I started getting negative comments so I puled it down. Not trying to defend how I was driving but I do think a few people were making it seem allot worse than it actually was. I know things look different through the video and things appear much closer than they do when you are in the car so if there are people that can see it was really not that bad they would agree even more had they been in the car with me. If anyone still would like to see it just shoot me a pm and I will send it to you. Thanks for your understanding!

If anyone is offended or just doesn't want this on the forum post up and I will gladly pull it back down. I'm not looking to cause any drama here. I think some of the members need to see it now since it's been talked about soo much. I will keep the vid up here for as long as you guys would like it to be.

You could be the best driver in the world... IT"S NOT JUST YOU!... It's also other drivers.

I think the majority of us have hit serious speeds... but overtaken on the wrong side (weaving in and out) is a BIG NO NO in my book. I even done some 60 - 140 runs with Jimmer in Germany we backed off and waited for big gaps and even when catching the traffic up at 140 we were well off the gas on time.
