huka551 0 #1 May 25, 2005 I'm just curious if most skydivers drive fast? I know a lot of jumpers that are also bikers, so does that need for speed and adrenaline carry over to your daily driving habbits? Personally I drive fast all the time, 4 speeding tickets and I think I might still have 6 points on my lisence, I would say Yes, as often as possible Muff Brother 3723 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob.dino 1 #4 May 25, 2005 Nope. Speed is for the racetrack. Public roads are for getting from A to B without killing some poor innocent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #5 May 25, 2005 QuoteNope. Speed is for the racetrack. Do runways and taxiways count as "racetracks"? QuotePublic roads are for getting from A to B without killing some poor innocent. Agreed. On the freeway I'll normally do 5ish over. Maybe 10 over if there's plenty of traffic and that's what they're doing, but that's not all that frequent. On residential streets I usually just idle along at 20 or so, because I can't handle the prospect of killing some kid who runs out in front of me. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Frenchy68 0 #6 May 25, 2005 I drive fairly fast on the freeway (80s), although not all the time. It's not my fault, it my car's fault.
