    Maybe just high speeds...

      I drive like a granny, so I just dont get people who speed. I think it was @mik who posted a chart that showed that actual amount of time that you "save" by speeding. It is literally only seconds.

      Unless you are traveling thousands of kilometers on a trip, there really is no time benefit to speeding.

        If the limit is 65 and I'm doing 80, I save 1:44 every 10 miles.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          thanks George. That is what I was thinking of.

          I remember reading about a guy who was speeding through a construction zone and killed a worker.

          He was sentenced to jail, and his courtroom speech during sentencing was something like, "Trying to save 15 seconds cost me 10 years. I dont know why I thought that 15 seconds of time savings was worth the risk"
