On the other hand, I'd love to see people fined based on the videos THEY shoot of themselves doing 100mph on city streets. I would have no sympathy for them.

I speed on the highways, and am willing to suck it up if I get caught, but I have no tolerance for people that use city streets as raceways and proving grounds.

I don't know where the line should be drawn. I've only done ~110mph in a 911, because that's all I felt comfortable with. I know many of you have done 140+ mph. I actually think there's a time & place for that. Dawn... no cars around... you're the only person being put at risk. Many of you are very good drivers who know their cars' limits.


Here's a video of a guy doing 200mph on a public highway.


What happens if he loses it? Great car, and yeah I'd want to do 200 mph too, but on a track. I have to assume that anyone willing to pass cars on the highway at 200mph is just not a good driver. I don't think anyone with real skills would do that; they'd understand how risky it is.
