When he gets frustrated by his inability to follow simple conversation, he'll pick out a trivial detail from your post and make a big deal about it. Or he'll just make up random shit:
Well in his defense, he's no worse than guys that routinely double the speed limit on back roads that point fingers at a guy doing a wheelie down the a semi-deserted freeway... I just found out that me and Ed might be related so I have to get his back...

Hey, speaking of breaking speed laws, we still have to get up to the Gap at some point before Winter! Maybe a long weekend? Get there Sat and watch the circus, ride Sun and Mon and head home?

Blasphemy. That doesn't sound anything like the RacerX I know.

I should set them, at my discretion.

I think that they should have Ben Spies take an R1 down the freeway as fast as he can until he crashes and set the speed limit 1 mph lower!

I can't speak for Kaneman but I've never seen any evidence that speed is a typical factor in open freeway/highway accidents. Now don't go throwing weather or non-open, four/six lane divided road situations at me. I'm sure that you know what I mean, I don't feel like breaking it down to the n-th degree with you.

Quite sure you rarely obey the speed limit. Yet in almost every thread you defend cops. Got a relative on the force?

And how about speed limits be set according to what the average person is capable of doing, not what an 80-y/o senile person is capable of doing. So deaths might increase, so what? That's the price of freedom & convenience. You don't want the risk, dont get on the road, chump.

What does obeying the speed limit and defending cops have to do with one another?

If someone is man (or woman) enough to break the law, then they should be able to handle the result of their actions.

Tickets suck. But I have never received a ticket I didn't deserve.
