Speed thrills

[eliasmank]

The nitro booster is a very familiar phenomenon, thanks to films like ’’The fast and the furious’’. Nitro booster is very different from the rest of the lot, in that it supplements the petrol with nitrous oxide that burns more efficiently. It releases a lot more oxygen and nitrogen (which acts as a buffer to withstand the extra pressure and heat) into the system causing very efficient combustion.

are you saying that there are actually a lot of people who have that kinda boosters for their cars on the streetS?

and i thought it's all only in the movies...
isn't it illegal to do that kinda modifications?

can they drift too? like Fast n furious tokyo drift?

another kid by the sounds! it is a well proven fact that speed kills! there is no way around it!

in the UK it is not illegal to have add-ons, like computer chips, and nitro's fitted to the car, as far as I know.

but to drive like an idiot is against the law. ie. drifting, speed.

I am not blaming kids for speed, but higher speeds, and driving like idiots does cause more than their share of accidents.

I must admit. I thought I knew everything, and even though I wasn't a boy racer! the driving test for the car was too simple.

taking advanced driving test, ie. large goods vehicle, then I have noticed, that I still wasn't totally aware of everything that was going on with the road.

and that is after holding a licence for more than 10 years, and being involved in accidents, as well as very nearly getting killed by a lady driver who wasn't driving with due care and attention. and that was sticking to speed limits. and the number of near misses.

out of the whole time of my driving life, then in my experience, then most accidents/near misses, have actually been caused by lady drivers not paying attention to the road.

the driving test is nothing, it cannot prepare you for actually being in a very near miss, I mean from below 60 mph, my foot on the brake pedal slowing down, when the lady driver I picked out of a load of cars in the slow lane of parked cars, pulled out infront of me, and me missing her by inches, if I had been going faster, or had to change from the accelerator pedal to the brake then I wouldn't be alive today.

plus the fact that I knew the road-about was ahead, then it meant that I could start braking earlier than a person that didn't know the road, as I was still a few hundred feet from the round-about sign. even though the sign was around a blind corner.

the only time, drifting, and speeds should be used is in very highly controlled situations, like a training school! not is carparks, and certainly not on the streets, and highways, no matter how good you think you are.

passing a driving test isn't the end of your learning, and the day you stop learning, is the day you should stop driving!

taxi's are a law unto themselves!!
