I've felt terror twice while driving. Both times I was speeding. I don't speed anymore. I'm typically under the limit in the right lane. I have done stopwatch testing, with traffic in the DC/Baltimore area it is completely pointless to speed. I always stay safe and I always keep moving, stopping is dangerous.

I've clipped a taxi cab, in a taxi cab. (gave him $50 to forget about it)
I've hit a pole and broke a headlight (crap kia, no defrost, low speed at a drive-thru bank)
I've trimmed many trees and rubbed several curbs (in 26' trucks)
I've backed into many tight spots in a truck and touched the wall/curb/dock/dumpster.
I have a CDL and a perfect driving record...
I break some laws now and again but always safety first.
