Guys in high performance cars driving wild speeds - yeah its dodgy but I feel a lot safer near a high performance car @230 than with a taxi @ 120. At least I can rely on the high performance car to have something resembling brakes and ABS. Chances of an actual drivers license being involved is also much improved.


Agreed. I feel its important to note that some people drive the exact same stretch each and every day which does help w/ potholes. Won't save you @225 but its a start.
Yeah, not really sure I agree with this. At those speeds, a rust-bucket has more chance of avoiding a crash than the high-performance car simply because of the speeds involved. Also, sure, you may drive the same road every day, but bumps that aren't even noticeable at 120kph suddenly result in big moments at 200kph+... Just takes hitting one of those, and not knowing what to do, and bye-bye you and whatever is around you.

Not sure that I would be bragging about it? Almost as though you condone it? Or am I missing the point?

A lethal combination. And combine that with a lack of maturity and you have a recipe for disaster.
Agreed on the above.
