Are you guaranteed a fine if you did a 120 mph drive on the highway ? Man , I start to feel sympathy for all Porsche , etc drivers sitting there in the cokkpit and swearing at each speed sign - 30 - 40 - 30 -40 .... At least they can enjoy the acceleration ...

You should not be doing this anyway - if you are suicidal then go find a way to kill yourself without endangering lifes of other people.Comment
