The poster had to record his high speed careless driving just so he could post it on YouTube. It promotes stupidity. If you watch the video . . he was passing other vehicles like they were standing still, thus making it a stupid and dangerous thing to do.
Oh man, if you're driving "this thread"-fast on the German autobahn, i.e. averaging 85 mph, you'll get passed often as if you were standing still.

Here . . I have a problem going 60 km/h due to all our pot holes (600,000 being fixed here this year). Our roads are a mess, but at least in Germany the roads are well maintained, thus high speeds are possible.
