What type of speeding cause driving fast on back roads in the middle of no where at night isn't impatient it's racing and speeding on the highway often isn't impatient because everyone around you is going 15 over the limit

Some of the smartest people I know work on cars regularly ๐Ÿฅฒ

Reckless driving is dumb but having a loud car is just inconsiderate.

I can agree having a loud car every day is inconsiderate but having a regular car and one that you take out on the weekends to go to shows and have fun isn't to me idk though kinda a car nerd prolly a bit skewed. I don't think driving fast in a fairly controlled situation is really reckless driving, legally it qualifies as it but not really being reckless

Reckless is situational. A posted MPH sign does not dictate that. Well, I suppose only legally speaking ๐Ÿ˜‰

Racing is stupid and dangerous. Speeding because others are too is opportunistic impatience.

Is anything that's dangerous stupid and not really dangerous with no traffic and going the speed limit when no one else is is actually more dangerous than going the speed of everyone around you
