Bro Protege,

The vid link is a gud one. Its been online for quite a while and really shows how much of a loser a show off is. Though he may get adoring looks from some, most will not even be impressed. But the actual meaning is the pain caused by the one selfish act. It may not change yr life, just like some idiots I will not name and or some other more famous killers like a Mazda SE killer and Taxi driver killer. I am sure even after taking a life, they do not feel any remorse. If given another chance, they will again get power machines to show off again.

But you know something? It can happen to anyone. As can be seen in the vid, people who were not even involved could be caught. What happens if it were someone we loved? Many will say it will never happen. Some will think that they are Road Kings and or that their loved ones will never be so unlucky... But hey.... shit happens.

Yeah bro, shit does happens.

But I'd like also to say that I am no angel either. I suppose after losing some friends along the way, and having to witness some things I wish I had not, I can control myself a bit better these days. The occasional speeding desire does come and at best, I will store it to release it during occasional trackdays; or at worst, access the situation before speeding, but never pushing the car's limit on public roads.

Its always good to have a reminder like this video, that we are operating extremely powerful machines that can kill

Its true lah bro.... We all have angels and devils within us and the very fact that we are driving hi performance cars make us more vulnerable to the evils of speed. But in a way, I found that the more powderful my car became, the more careful I became too. Perhaps it is age, but prehaps it is like you, I have seen my fair share of accidents and deaths, both frens and relatives and even nearly had a few myself. In the end, I decided, if I did not want to see any more of my frens or relatives killed, I would also not partake in such stupid acts on the roads. The fire has to start with a spark... We can be the spark that will start the fire of Safe Driving and Responsible Driving. If only more people do it, less people will die or be hurt.

Sori to be preachy... but I think you all know wat I mean.

Hi bro
You sentences did bring senses on what you have written. It true that indeed sometime I have the urge to speed but when come to a point that rumble in my mind......."Do I gain anything just to show off or winning anything ahead other? Nothing, absolutely nothing!" And maybe even caused accident if not handled properly..... :(

Althought we might be driving a performance car, but it does not necessary to show it out EXCEPT in track day... :)
