Kai:I have done a bit of "spirited" driving on occasion. Â
162 mph in my 2004 Dodge Viper (hoping to break that mark on a closed course in a couple of weeks.) Â
141 mph in my 1971 Dodge Challenger. Â I once had all 4 wheels off the ground in my Challenger (been watching too much Dukes of Hazzard) but that was when I was young and stupid. Â I wouldn't do anything like that now. Â Â Â
I try to get to the track a couple of times a month. Â Helps soothe the urge to go fast. Â Â
Longest car trip: Â I've taken many car trips of over 6 hours with 4 small children. Â Such trips are, in reality, much longer than any trip of any length without small children. Â Time moves really really slow with kids in the back seat. Â Â
I am a pretty patient driver. Â I can put up with just about anything from other drivers without honking or being obnoxious. Â The one thing that really bugs me, however, is masses of bicyclists riding 3 and 4 abreast on narrow two lane roads (very common where I live.) Â Makes me wish I had Jedi powers, so I could just knock them all down with the force (I guess that would mean I'd have gone over to the Dark Side.) Â
I haven't driven enough in other countries to judge the driving habits of other nations, but I will say that American drivers by and large suck. Â It's pretty much accepted behavior in America to hog the passing lane, and just about every other driver I see is yakking on a cell phone. Â I've been rear ended twice while sitting stopped at a stop light.
Aren't you only 16, do you even have a license?I am mental on the roads.
My average speed on the motorway is about 110mph.
Average speed on Park Lane, 80mph (albeit late at night)
Are radar/laser detector/jammers legal in the UK or Europe?I am mental on the roads.

Average speed on London roads 40-60 mph, you cannot get away with going any faster than that, too many speed cameras, and the problem in England is that you do not just get a fine, if you keep speeding thy ban you from driving.
The longest distance is from Calcutta to Bangkok, boy that was a jaunt. The roads are terrible in Myanmar and Bangladesh, you cannot do more than 90mph, unless you want to hit the roof, literaly, India and Thailand are pretty good for roads though.
I never tailgate, but I do sometimes use the hard-shoulder to get through. Wait, I suppose I do tailgate, if you count flashing the car in front from long distance.
I dont think that speeding is monitored in Europe as it is in the States.Are radar/laser detector/jammers legal in the UK or Europe?
I can't imagine driving here in the States without my radar detector / laser jammer. Â It's paid for itself multiple times over in the cost of tickets and increased insurance premiums, and probably has saved my license on at least two occasions.
Riiight. I've never ever seen traffic move at 40mph in the City, or even close to that velocity. And a driver who drives as you describe in the UK would be summarily imprisoned, no matter how much money he made. Especially were he not lily white..... And if you'd ever been to Bangladesh, you would know that 90mph is simply not a reasonable velocity for more than literally 2 or 3 metres of the country's roads. Try 70-80 km/h. as a more realistic max speed. As for me, I'm more or less a patient driver, though I do enjoy the odd spirited romp through a technical mountain road. The highest velocity I've ever attained on a public road is probably not much over 110mph, on the Autobahn. Max distance? Well, including a ferry ride I took a road-trip from Benelux to Tunisia once.... Peace, JGI am mental on the roads. My average speed on the motorway is about 110mph.
