You can still kill someone even if it a road not a lot of people are on… or live on. My parents live in the middle of nowhere and most every road is surrounded by miles of flat corn fields. People die every year from head on collisions, speeding, missing bends and crossing the yellow… even flipping the car into a ditch full of irrigation water and drowning. I can’t begin to think about how many times I’ve been on back roads and one of you kids has come ‘ripping around a back road bend’ on my side of the road almost killing both of us. Speed limits are set for a reason, to protect other motorists, AND yourself. Absolutely correct. However, I was a kid doing that 20 years ago. I’m now an old man doing that, and it’s my vice. If I’m busted or I die, then it’s my own fault. If I kill someone else, I’ll go to hell. I’ve already got one foot in that door anyhow. But my only defense is I don’t do it in residential areas. My biggest risk is killing some corn. But I’m not going to mod the snot out of my car to not enjoy some spirited road driving. All on the correct side of the road, of course. And never where houses are or where I have blind curves that I can’t stay on my side of the road on. And never at the level of what I’d do at a lap day at the track. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/question-about-cops/190816)._
