Speed
Remember that movie Speed where they couldn't go below 50 mph? Well, for me it seems to be 130 km/h when I'm driving on the Autobahn. Even at dusk, even at night, even with rain and wet roads.
What am I afraid of? That a bomb could blow up my car? Not very likely. That speeding is the only way to escape an accident? Err.. Traffic jam maybe? The boredom of a 300 km drive? Do I have to prove to myself that I can set new records for that distance and that I can catch up those lost 20 minutes during rush hour?
Either way, I won't change because I don't want to change and I think that I'm a good enough and rather reasonable driver (no risky overtaking manoeuvres, no microsleep, no headphones) to allow myself the need for speed.
Imagine if I had a bike...

hmm.....130 km/h is no big deal. We drive at that speed on "autobahns" in India, provided we have a good car. :P
But safer is 80 km/h.

80 km/h? *rolling on the floor laughing smiley*
