In reply to all the people who say "I don't speed, I like the police they're just doing their jobs" At least one of you must have a GTI, R32 or similar, why buy one of these quick cars if you're only ever going to go a maximum if 70mph.
Hi Giorgio. Almost every new car for sale today can easily exceed 100mph - enough to lose your licence in one go.
And even if you're one of the few car drivers who own a vehicle which can't do that speed, you can lose your licence by just driving at 60mph, if you do it on the right road.
By the way.. I sometimes exceed the speed limit, and I sometimes drive slower than the speed limit - it depends on what I think is appropriate for the conditions and environment. I don't think anyone's said that they'd never drive faster than 70mph in their GTI.
What cars like the GTI give which your bog standard car doesn't give is driving pleasure. It responds more sharply, it gives you the ability to safely overtake more often, it feels better through the bends, and so on - you make quicker progress and it's more fun. Even if you don't ever break speed limits, a sporty car will simply be more rewarding to drive nevertheless.
In short, what's your point?
A lot of people have had bad experiences with the police me included which causes resentment, for example fighting in town centre at night, over 5 policemen around and nothings done about it yet they'll fine you for going 5 mph over the speed limit at stupid o clock in the morning, some of the police are just power mad wastes of space.
Just because I'm generally supportive of the police doesn't mean I support the times they don't get the job right. I think the place would be worse without the police.
