PERIOD.  <br /><br />I know you won&#39;t like my opinion but you asked so I&#39;m gonna let it fly.<br /><br />Who gives a crap what everyone else is doing (i.e. the other driver), you are responsible for YOU and you did a stupid thing.<br />87 miles per hour is stupid unless you are on a race track or in an emergency vehicle situation.<br /><br />You don&#39;t realize it because you are a young man but I have seen how crushed parents are when their kids ends up dead because of speeding and getting in an accident.  The heartbreak that causes is incredible.  To have to watch a parent go through the loss of their kid is not good.  ALL the speeders think the same thing..... &quot;It&#39;ll never happen to me&quot; and then it does, and I&#39;ve seen their brains scattered on the windshield of the car.... no kidding, grey chuncks of brain.  <br /><br />You also don&#39;t realize the incredible pain that is caused to others when a speeder kills an innocent person.<br />I think every speeder who ends up killing someone should be the one to have to go to the door of the family and break the news to them.<br />I realize you didn&#39;t hurt anyone else, thank God, but it happens all the time to people in exactly your situation.<br /><br />I know the accident referred to in the immediate article at this link, is involving a motorcycle but, the website might prove useful:<br /><a href="http://www.driveandstayalive.com/articles%20and%20topics/crash%20causation/speed_swedish-motorcycle-crash_2005.htm" target="_blank">Click here</a><br /><br />PAY THE TICKET AND LEARN YOUR LESSON........... leave earlier for school, don&#39;t put yourself and others at unnecessary risk, and consider others.<br /><br />I know, I know, you didn&#39;t ask for a lecture but I think everyone needs to take responsibility for their own actions.<br /><br />Ok, so that&#39;s more like a dollars worth than 2 cents.... you can keep the change.<br /></b><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->
