If it's a lone country road, with no drivers or driveways to worry about I can see him unintentionally getting to those speeds. With a car like that, it would be VERY easy to get up to that kind of speed without noticing it. There's really no need to call the guy stupid over it, we all go over the speed limit, and it's on a isolated road so what's the problem?

I understand what Jman is saying. at night time if it's deserted the worst that happens is he hurts himself. in daytime u can't tell when a cars about to come around the corner or anything of that nature. at night time the headlights flash through trees and you at least know if someone's on the other side of the corner. at least that's how all of the roads I've ever seen down here work.

Yeah. Headlights reflect off the leaves, guardrails, etc. I can see a car coming long before I ever see it letting me know when to slow. Much safer than driving fast around normal cars.

It's sad you have to get negative 20 reps before people understand that though. I would never pay money to be a member on here simply for this nonsense. What a bunch of trolls. Say it to my face if you have a problem.

Negative rep this too, see if I care.

I thought his response was pretty classy, though.
