If you're going to insult someone's post AT LEAST make an effort to spell properly, like SERIOUSLY.

Please tell us what makes you think that you wont kill someone if you hit them at 100kph! I go with the flow. if traffic is moving at 105 or 110 that's the speed I travel. What makes you think it's ok to hold the constant smoothe flow of traffic up just because you feel the need to become a plain clothes policeman! I bet you're the type of person who, if you saw someone gaining on you on the m/way you'd move into their lane just so you could feel like you had a bit of authority.

& thats because on the race track people use all their brain
whereas the average road user can be as much of an ignoramus as some of the people i quote here

I don't really have a problem with 105, or maybe even 110 WHEN the road is good. What I do have a problem with is the headlights in my back window when I'm going with the flow at 95 and the all the traffic for the next 10kms is also going with the flow at 95. Then some half wit thinks they know better and puts everyone at risk by tailgaiting and overtaking pointlessly. They don't get there much quicker - if I'm going Te Puke to Tauranga they're usually at Te Maunga when I get there. Someone above asked what I consider good driving. For starters, it's being aware of what's going on around you - ie if the car in front is doing 95, maybe it's not 'cos they're a nana, but rather because that's what the flow is doing and it's better to have a stress free drive at that speed than get all wound up over a few kph and double the fuel bill by diving in and out of trafic, increasing the risk for everyone and not actually achieving anything.

So you are implying that race car drivers never crash then eh, by using "all their brain"! What a load of crap, I have never driven a race car BUT I have safely driven upwards of 4.5million kms total in various types of vehiclesincluding 40plus tonne behemoths,most of it logged kms in trucks over a span of about 45years (save for an estimated approx 1 million in cars)
