    No, always looking for an opportunity to present the truth. Something lacking in the official arguments.
    Speed doesn't kill people.
    Stupidity kills people.

    Your logic says that you will die at 100kph so go ahead and do 250kph if you feel like it because you are fucked anyway. Dead is dead regardless of the speed used to effect that outcome but the logic of your suggestion is just plain stupid.

    Yes at 100k you are dead, but at 250k the people in the cage are also dead. Or don't they matter?

    Lou says he is presenting the truth, maybe he is from his own worldview. My interpretation of the truth is slightly different to his. It comes down to an individuals own assessment of the facts as to which truth applies to their worldview. This process is subjective to the individuals own core values and beliefs, Lou's are obviously very different to my own.

    Direct your question to Lou, its his logic that I'm challenging.

    I'm not at all twitchy this morning, thanks for asking though.

    The internet and email aren't a reliable form of communication as the intended context and tone of the writer often isn't easily interpreted by the reader, which leaves the reader to draw their own conclusions regarding the writers tone.

    I bet people have speed down that road before and never killed anyone, the problem here is someone on a new license being stupid.

    You can kill people doing 50kph easily if your being stupid.

    "The MC-rider had a new license." Now that could mean a number of things, but general consensus would be he had just got his bike license.

    Take the bastids with you if they caused the accident
    Besides, at 250 k's you're a harder target to hit or catch..

    Interesting, so the truth is subjective,it accords to your world view.
    As in, people used to believe the world was the centre of the universe and the planets revolved around it. They even burnt those that disagreed.
