Right when a good part of the highway opens up, and you feel like finally some speed can be managed and enjoyed with your brand new F Type R and look what two pranks do! Luckily saw them early enough - dangerous, criminal...

Of course ignored their stupid race...

 

OK, so you had to slow right down for a pair of idiots engaged in what I call a "turtle race", but what happened then?

 

Nothing except for the third finger to them!

 

Live and let live. Don't let the little things bug you. You'll live longer, live happier.

 

I think that stretch of road has a 110km/hr speed limit. You were doing, at one point, 63 km/hr over that.

Looks like other cars were doing 63km/hr under the speed limit.

Which is worse?

 

i thought its illegal for jaguar owners to listen to eminem.

 

Unless I distinctly get the sense I'm engaged with a "friendly" (i.e. someone whose given me the thumbs up and/or a big smile) I never "engage" with anyone!*. Further, in this crazy violent world we live in, I'd never give anyone the finger. So not worth it.

*While passing, I don't even bother looking at other drivers. Besides, I'm usually going way too fast.

 

Was my first trip away from my town, forced to listen only to the radio and few radios had good signal, I was trying to get a mixed regime for the engine as it is in its first km, after a very busy period with my work and had no time whatsoever to work for the playlists or better music - you are right for the music :-)

 

This part of the highway it is one of the few segments in my country built really well, allowing you to excess a bit (:-)) and I think could easily be a 130 km/h limit road due to its design - yes I was 43 kmh over the max allowed speed limit (we get a fine in my country when over 20 kmh over the signs limit for highways), and if we have to compare of course the worst is to be -130 kmh like the two cars in this video were doing - they were almost stopped at one point, blocking both lanes and after a wide turn, not only dangerous to me or others but to their-selves too.

 

Slow pokes probably cause more accidents with those trying to get around them then speeders.

In America major roads like that have paved shoulders. Had my XKR up to 150 mph on the way to work last Sunday on a three lane empty interstate with paved shoulders. Just purring along at 4500 rpm.

 

Part way into your video, I turn off the sound.

 

At least I see Florida, USA doesn't have all the idiot drivers in the world. Of course I knew that all along, having driven in a few other countries. You just have to learn to be patient and deal with the idiots. Darwin's law of evolution will eventually catch up to them.

 

I think the "speed police" (people that think it is their duty to keep you from going faster than they deem necessary) are more frustrating than libtards. In my state "Slower traffic keep right" is a law not a suggestion, but they forget that one and only remember the speed limit laws. Seems anyone slower than them is a moron and anyone going faster is an idiot.

 

You can never believe them, however, I once saw a statistic that collaborated that statement. It was not the speeders but the indecisive drivers and those going slower that actually caused a higher percentage of accidents.

 

Brainless texting idiots on their smartphones are the worst. I see it everyday.

No more bragging that I haven't been in an accident in many, many years. If you are on the road you are going to get hit, t-boned, rear ended, you name it.

Driving to the beach two weeks ago there was a horrific crash one car behind me. Clearly a texting young female. Her Honda Element vs a big Dodge truck bumper.

Idiocracy took a giant leap in 2007 with the advent of the big screen phone.

 

Yes the U of BC published a study awhile ago that said speed differential is the main cause, not speed itself. Reference I read said that left lane hogs are a major cause as traffic has to pass on the right which is unsafe in comparison.

On two lane roads, slow drivers have lines of cars behind them and frustrated drivers behind can take chances that lead to accidents.

The claim was that the speed limits should be set at what 85% of drivers are comfortable with, which seemed to be 120-130 km on divided highways and 100-110 on single highways. They also stated that people are not going to drive a whole lot faster as this is the comfort zone; of coarse there are exceptions.

Of course few jurisdictions took this to heart as it would reduce the police ability to hit ticket quota.

Libtards?

 

The two things that should always be left off a car forum. Politics and Religion.

So baiting with a comment is just as bad.

Whatever someone believes or doesn't believe in other subjects just keep to yourself.

 

Absolutely. So long as someone doesn't bring it up I won't try to bait them into making a fool of themselves.
