Letting them drive faster wouldn't necessarily make them any suckier

They are sucky because they are texting or eating fast food while driving. Maybe driving faster would make them pay more attention instead of doing that shit.

I've actually gotten out of a few tickets as well. I just pull over, am honest about what I was doing, and polite to the officer. Most of the time (not all of the time) if you respect them, they will respect you back.

Of course. Why else would they buy the newest and greatest GSXCBRZX1000RR unless they had the skills & talent to go with the bike already

Ok, come teach a Drivers ED course or a AAA safety class for teens. Come work at the DMV license office for a few weeks. Then we'll talk. LMAO.

I do the same.

When all of the above fails and you drive away with 3 tickets instead of the 1 you deserved, you feel disrespected.

On the other hand, I don't ever think i've heard Racer say he "doesn't speed". So how is that a bad thing?
