f***! You're right, you didn't call him an idiot. No, you called me an... No, wait... I called you an idiot... Well, it's obvious I disagree w-you about something... whatever it was. Apologies for the mix up and that particular "idiot"... (but not much else).
No (easily attainable) velocity is inherently dangerous... or safe. Anybody who feels 25 mph is "safe" needs to re-think the issue or try this simple test:
Do the math on this 3861Alan Baker It isn't hard. Sometimes it was intentional, for fun... other times it was entering or exiting corners too fast, not so fun. One time... it was off a 30' embankment. That...
Drive through a parking lot at 5 mph with your sweetie. Without warning, slam on the brakes as hard as you can. Ask them if it felt "safe". If you've got the balls... ask if it's ok if you make it a habit. If you've got real balls tell them you like that sort of thing when you're the pbuttenger, especially without a seatbelt, the faster the better.
If you lack a sweetie, stand in the center of your living room, blindfolded, and spin in place for 10 seconds. Then begin a brisk walk. And step out, like you're late for something important.
Alternatively, just stand in place and fall backward.
Then... get back to me about what you feel are "safe" velocities. -----
