A Little Misbehaving
 

I've been away on business for a few days, got a Dodge Avenger rental car. When I was done on business I met my family at my In-laws. My 14 y/o son and I went for a drive on some country roads. First time I've topped 100mph in a very long time, probably 20+ years. My son thought it was pretty cool, but it scared me. ;)

100 mph scares me to Warren. Even driving at work I rarely go above 70.

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

Sorry to be a buzz kill, but coming from someone who has pulled more than my fair share of mangled bodies out of wrecks, your actions was more than a little misbehaving. Driving 100mph with an impressionable 14 year was irresponsible at best. Just my :2

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

My car can barely go over 70 mph. :r

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

How fast would it stop if it hit a tree?

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

Depends on the size of the tree.

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

I've been in more danger on the road from people who think they are in a phone booth than people who think they are in a race car.



Agree though the youngster being in the car was not good.

Warren, may I see your license please?

this is what I did in a mini van last year.

And this is what happened in Georgia

but I hardly ever speed though. I used to, untill I had to pay up to €400 in fines one day, that thought me to stick to the speed limit.

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

Negncic is wise. I won't be doing that again any time soon.

Don Fernando forgot he wasn't cruising the Autobahn in Europe haha.

In Germany, we have laws prohibiting talking on cell phones while driving, but as you all know, the speed limits on the autobahn (when there is one) is about 80mph. Driving 100-150mph is certainly not unheard of over here. I've been passed plenty of times going about 115mph. I don't necessarily think the speed is the biggest culprit in wrecks, I think it's more people trying to multitask (i.e. talking on cell phones). Although, I will mention driving that fast consistently takes a bit of getting used to.

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

I may be in the minority here, but good for you!!! When I was younger, my dad and I would go for drives like the one you described. Sitting in the passenger seat with him, I learned to respect my car's limitations (tread traction, sway through corners, road conditions, etc). I'm grateful for that experience because I know it's saved me on a couple different occassions from pushing the envelope too hard.

This is his current favorite girl:

I get to take her out from time to time and we've had a lot of fun with me always mindful of the risk and danger that comes with stretching her legs.

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

I must say that I never speeded on busy roads, I only speed when the road is empty and never when the road was wet or slippery. I rather see people speed on empty roads than drink & drive, which is a big no-go for me.

Female cop, eh? She must have liked your foreign accent. ;-)

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

Worst speeding situation I was ever in was in NC. Got tagged for doing 75 in a 55 on a 4 lane highway with a grass median. It was in Union County. Was placed under arrest for reckless, taken to the courthouse, where I presented my AAA member card,which the magistrate accepted in lieu of an arrest bond (it was $500). I still had a mandatory court appearance, which I had a lawyer appear on my behalf and had the violation reduced.

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

20 over and they charged you with reckless? That is pretty ridiculous on their part, Ron.

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

One time I did 45 in a 25, the funny thing is, that the copped pulled me over next to a 35 mph sign.

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

she gave me a lecture that the roads in Georgia weren't like our 'autobahn', but I am Dutch and the autobahn is German. Didn't want to be a wise-ass, so I didn't try to educate her :D

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

News flash for you. In NC anything 80 or above is a mandatory trip to the magistrate. I know this how.... Well, I will not bore you with all the tale but a no $hit, he said to the 3 of us, "how much money you boys got" at 1230 am. That was the driver's bail money. The rest of the story can be told over a cigar and a bourbon. Most states I have lived in 20 over regardless as to teh speed limit is also reckless driving.

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

Wow....In Illinois, Statutory reckless driving, based on speed alone, is 40 MPH over the limit.

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

I'm no angel but there are much safer, legal ways to go a whole lot faster than 100. Problem is that it's more addicting than cigars.

Can you say "cavity search"?

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

well, it was a female cop, but I ain't that kinky.

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

At least you would be able to pronounce the safe word (fluggaenkdechioebolsen) , right? :r

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

If it was Dutch, yeah (hell, that 'red light disctrict' wasn't even in Amsterdam)

Re: A Little Misbehaving
 

Anyone see all this drama?

Kids brags about speeding on forum and gets arrested for it.

The spoiled brat little **** should have been sitting his ass in jail for 12 months, instead of 12 months of probation.
