Moderator mucked up the title of this thread.
Suspected it meant
Low tolerance for speed limits....
Yes 100% agree.
If we spend too much time checking the speedo, looking for speed limit signs and only then look at the road for obstacles .....
Oh remember the days when we could turn a corner and immediately know by instinct what the appropriate speed limit should be and we would be correct.
Now that we have become a socialist Nation people don't have the ability to know common sense so we need all these limits dictating what you can do and can't do, like kids crossing from a school has a time limit speed setup from X to Z now if no one is anywhere to be seen you still get busted because of the time frame, nothing to do with safety at all what so ever, but just a dictated load of rubbish you have to follow, one min or a second within that time frame and your gone as a mate of mine's neighbour found out and you can see clearly as it's wide open space everywhere and it sticks out like dogs balls that no one is their.
On another thing I seen in the 80's 90's say was a little shopping place and a pub and across the road was a beach, now most people would drive at the posted 60KM/H without regard, young kids could easy come out from parked cars, so I would always slow down through their and such places as in regard to being courteous respecting the situation and at night with no one around sit on 60. but I also drove at 180KM/H to 200 on the highway just taking it easy a far bit and even cruse at 240KM/H on my bike but if the conditions were not safe to do so I would drive under the 100KM/H limit.
The Bike I had were ZX10 Ninja and ZZR 1100 and they could do 290KM/H and the only time I would do that was because of the cops. 240KM/H was easy cruse and good on fuel, 22L to 400km easy, it felt comfortable no sweat easy trip with no hurry at all and I could get off after doing a 400 or 500KM trip like it was nothing and go out partying no problem at all. do you know how quick they can wash speed off from 240KM/H to 100 it's maybe only in 2 second is all it takes and it's safe as, if you are experienced. but most do not comprehend that fact at all because they don't have a clue to the reality's, so the just piss and moan in their total ignorance.
I would not do that same highway nowadays because I am too old now and their is much more traffic and most drivers are much worse now because they do such stupid things.
I still ride my dirt bike and road such flat out until the last few years, because my knees are buggered, but it's the same principle ride to what you feel comfortable with and I was hauling through them tracks it's the best thing to be doing 10 10th's through the scrub.
But hey I have never had a crash into anyone and never drive to close up the arse of others, like most clowns do, had a girl friend once that drove like that, didn't speed but I could not put up with that as I was in mortal fear for my life the whole time when she was driving I could not handle that type of crap.
