Hi guys,

I don't want to break this great moment where everybody seems to agree on something but ...

Respecting the speed limit (so lowwww in the US) doesn't mean you're a good driver nor that you are not dangerous, or less dangerous than another: granma is more dangerous at 25mph than Sebastien Bourdais at 100mph.

I'd say "it's not about respecting blindly the rules, it's about adapting the way you drive to the road conditions".

Begin at the speed limit can be dangerous if there are a lot of people ...

So please, instead of keeping your nose on your tachimeter, please adapt, indicate when you turn, look your mirrors, don't drink - I mean don't drink AT ALL when you drive - don't use your cell phone but ... enjoy the ride!

Speed is not the core problem, the core problem is: can you handle it? If you REALLY can, well ...


PS: I realize that US and european roads are different and that ways to drive are different. When I lived your country (which I love sooooo much) and was driving, I wished death to around 90% of american drivers! But that's another subject!

Sorry for this "minute of rebellion" but I've seen to many people dying because of said "good-drivers-who-respect-the-limit-whatever-happens-because-this-is-the-law-and-the-law-thinks-for-me".

Drive smart, not necessary slow.
