"The reality is that if you are speeding with other drivers around on a public road, you are involving all of them in potential danger"


Well on my thread, I forgot to mention it was 2am on an open highway with no cars in sight.

Oh wells. I wish this site would allow street racing threads like every other messageboard out there. :P

You know this from personal experience then? This is what I had asked after.

Should not drive any further than you can see and react, Pete.

It's ironic - I won't go much above the speed limit because of deer, elderly drivers and self indulgent idiots who imagine that their SUV "protects them" and thus feel free to be reckless. Yet here I am taking the Management to task because they lock threads about high speed driving in places where it's legal.

You'd think that such threads are considered an "enticement to speed". The enticement to speed comes from many sources aside Yarisworld.

Cheers
Which I guess implies that moderators can't selectively delete posts but must nuke an entire thread?
