I've had my license suspended 3 times due to speeding tickets, and caused 1 accident on the freeway. These were the sins of my youth; always racing everywhere I went. After I began taking Lafawnda out to the race track, I realized that driving fast on public roads is pointless when compared to racing on a track.

I drive 5 MPH over nowadays and don't get traffic citations.

Come to think of it, I think the public in general would drive better if they had some track experience, especially learning the limits of the vehicle and how to recover it. Software will take care of all of that in the future though, so I guess it's pointless to talk about now.
