I think this thread is done. I think we can conclude that Spirited Driving is okay and wreckless driving is not. Also I believe that there was a similar license plate in the Transporter on his 5-series.

It is scary that it took that long to get the point across

Just to clarify I was driving Spirited on country back roads. I love the video you put up Red Bull. However if the Cops looked like you I would love to be stopped.

Well, taking turns at speed limit is still legal, right?

Anyway, I find most non-spirited drivers are more dangerous overall... they aren't as alert as the "spirited" drivers, as they view their vehicle as a heinously boring appliance to get them to some other heinously boring place.

At least once per trip, anywhere further than two miles from the household, driving "spirited" or otherwise, I have "safe" motorists pulling in front of me with their SUV full of children or blabbering on their cell phone. Is this not safe? Does this not cause accidents?

But I do not see you do-gooder folks yelling at the people who do not get the Bluetooth option for their vehicle? I mean, geez, hardly anyone does 140mph down a school zone. But do I kick the speed up on long and rural highway trips (Interstate 37)? Of course..

I mean, you can drive fast and safe. I don't cut people off, I get out of faster (god forbid) vehicles ways, I don't listen to the radio, and I don't eat in my MINI (it is quite clean... my wife says I'm obsessive, but hey, you do what you gotta do). Goodness, just because I can come out and say, "Hey, I go 2mph over the speed limit," doesn't make me a children-smashing, blood-drinking, neighbour's dog crunching murderer.

Ah, well. I bet if I started a story as, "I was coming home from work, and taking a sip from my Dr. Pepper, when I saw a shooting star! I made a wish that my Alta exhaust would come in the mail... I've been waiting for it for a while now..." How many would flame me for drinking a Dr. Pepper while driving? Argh...

What I've learned is that there are only two types of drivers, apparently. Those who endanger everyone else on the road, but "know what they're doing," and hockey moms in SUVs, who drive 40 mph on the highway. I feel so illuminated.

Two things I do like about 'SPEEDING DRIVERS'

#1. I like for them to be in front of me (for my safety) and will slow or yield so they can easily pass.

#2. While that car is in front, I can stay a ¼mile back and go almost as fast, while the Law Enforcement
will be drawn to the car in front in time for me to slow.
