Disclaimer: I drive a ... "luxury sports car", and I normally to drive anywhere from 5-15 over the speed limit, depending completely on weather and traffic conditions.
Kinda funny reading the anecdotes. My observation, and mind you all of my statements are to be taken completely at face value with no insinuations, is that 80% of the worst speeders around here are black males ranging (my guess) from teens up to late 30's with most late 20's to early 30's, almost all driving either luxury cars or large SUVs with visual kits/rims/etc. The other 20% is almost entirely white male teenagers driving 20+ year old "first driver" cars.
Speeders around here tend to fall into two groups. First is the casual speeder, which I actually lump myself into given my observation of traffic patterns. We drive usually right about 10 over if the conditions are right. Interestingly enough, people around here almost all tend to do about 10 over on the highways, I'd say well over half, maybe as much as 75%. Average speeds aren't always consistent, I've driven around at times when I'm struggling to keep with the flow of traffic doing 15 over, and other times it feels like everyone is doing the speed limit or barely 5 over. Most all of us fit into that category. Invariably we do get some of group two, thankfully by far the smaller percentile, who are the retards that do 90+ no matter what, no matter when. Rain, shine, bumper to bumper traffic, rush hour, hell even in their driveways I bet they do 90+. They ride people's rears, swerve to change lanes, it's disgusting and you always pray for cops whenever you see them.
I do feel maybe just a bit bad for the fool in the OP's video link, but he earned every bit of that. At least he didn't hurt anyone other than himself, and hopefully he learned a very good lesson out of all this. If he didn't, well... let's just hope he doesn't remove anyone else from the gene pool when he goes out with his inevitable bang.
