Speed is one of those things that some people will always be curious about until they try it...
With most it is just a phase and they get past - but with others - they'll continually try to push the envelope and see what they can do next - those are the ones I feel bad for.
Needless to say, I had my phase years ago, with some dumb risks (albeit relatively 'safe'/calculated) - but - luck was also in my favour.
I had one close call on a friends motorcycle as he decided to go 160+ km/hr in a 50 zone on a sunday afternoon in traffic (1 lane up / 1 lane down) - where he made the further genius decision of driving on the line separating the lanes in order to pass a transit bus that was stopped ... problem being a car coming south had its mirror a bit too close and so he went to the right (closer to the bus) while passing... he ducked and I ducked.. else.. the bus mirror would've ripped my head off. Anyways, I never went on that bike again and he sold it cuz he was on the path to death with his addiction to speed.
