  1. Well, dumbass, once again you're wrong:

    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/prewarn

    Prewarn
    \Pre*warn"\, v. t. & i. [imp. & p. p. Prewarned; p. pr. & vb. n.
    Prewarning.] To warn beforehand; to forewarn. [R.]

    No be a man and apologize to Tony.

    Let's see what you're *really* made of...[/QUOTE]

    Oh yeah, wikis and online "dictionaries" are what I base my life on,
    sure.

    No apology required, because there's no such word as "prewarn".

    In a pack is the least of the times I want to drive fast. I generally
    drive fast during the times that the cops don't mind. If I am driving
    late at night or on a road with little to no traffic, I drive a bit
    faster. On a busier highway, I stick to 5-7 over the limit, and the
    police are fine with that.

    I drive an 06 Si, am 35 years old, and have never had a speeding
    ticket. Not that it won't happen eventually, but I try hard to drive
    with some common sense, and it seems to work...

  3. You obviously have an IQ in the single digits or else are deficient in the
    English language, if you can not express yourself without resorting to name
    calling and the use of profanities. So, in order for you to comprehend my
    meaning, stop wasting my bandwidth you fucking moron. Stop the **** from
    posting meaningles, useless bullshit.

    Not driving within the Posted Maximum Speed limit is not intelligent.

    Not driving at the prevailing speed of surrounding traffic is dangerous.

    To those fine folks who answered the question I asked, thanks for the good
    advice and suggestions! To the rest of you sophomores-- OK children, recess
    is over, go back to your homerooms now...

    Suppose the posted maximum was set for political reasons and is set too
    low?

    Good point. There's a 10 mile stretch of westbound I-20 about 35 miles east
    of Birmingham, AL where the S/L is 55 for no reason other than so the local
    cops can bag "speeders". The S/L on either side of this speed trap is 70 and
    the road there is wide, in good repair, has gentle curves and hills only.

    around my neck of the woods, slowing down to the posted limit would
    cause a 50 vehicle pile-up - and that's /really/ not intelligent.

    take that up with the feds. i understand that there have been a whole
    bunch of these kinds of "local economy boosters" that have been
    eliminated in ca and nv. apparently, there's some kind of law against
    arbitrary local authority speed limits, and there's a "percentage of
    local income" economic test applied when scrutinizing.

    You don't think my post was accurate, and truthful? You think it's just
    fine for idiots to go blasting down the highway endangering the rest of us
    because they want to? Is that what you believe, you ignorant ****?

    **** off and die, dimwit.

    sorry dude, it's not bullshit. you're just so enraged in your argument
    with dave, you're not thinking straight.

    come to the san francisco bay area. 580 oakland is posted 55. if you
    go much slower than 80 outside of rush hour, you'll cause an accident.
    it's 4 lanes, bumper to bumper. rush hour is slower - about 35. 280 is
    posted 65 and 80 is the rule. if you drive the 15 into las vegas from
    l.a. on a friday night, that's posted 65 and prevailing is about 95.
    that's bumper to bumper too.

    Wrong. I'm not "enraged" about anything. You apparently are, which may
    explain your need to speed on the highways. It's called "road rage".
    More bullshit. I lived in Alameda for 6 years, and frequently went to
    S.F. I also go to Vegas at least 6-8 times a year, and that's just not
    the truth. Keep trying to rationalize your speeding, though.

    Speeding is not road rage. Some people are quite calm at 10+ over the
    limit. Speeding is speeding. Driving angry as a result of something
    another driver did or you perceive they did, is road rage.
    I can't speak to those roads, but I-80 in NJ, if you're not keeping up with
    traffic you are causing a problem.

    I-80 NJ to OH, same story. Anyone at 65 is a rolling roadblock.

    My living depends on my licence being perfectly clean. It has been for
    over twenty five years now, I'm not about to change the way I drive because
    of any reasons, political or not.

    I agree, for the fools and idiots that can't or won't obey the law and
    use common sense.
