A blowout is a big fear of mine (I realize maintaining good tires and wheels means fuckall) and the only thing that curbs it. 85ish is my preferred cruising speed for personal comfort but if I'm late I'll get over 90 roads permitting.

My dad is in his 60's and a businessman and he's pretty much the same way his entire life. My long distance braking and brake dragging habits(I'm constantly either braking or about to brake) are much safer than his herky-jerky reliance on performance brakes but he drives a different type of car.

Most literature I've read points to a genetic norepinephrine disorder, and not a dopamine disorder. But the Adderall helps so I'd never argue against it. In the Gilbert's syndrome community (liver condition I have) is where I found out more about this compulsive desire to instantaneously complete motor tasks. Most members there self-report the same feelings and behaviors over the history of the web.

But that said, I think a lot of people feel most comfortable around 80-85 on the highway.

I always signal (quick flash) even if I'm in the left lane when making a pass if I feel the speed difference is too great ex middle lane going 55 and I'm trying to maintain 80. Sometimes I do it European style (despite Americans having no idea what it means) and leave the left directional on when traveling over 80

I'm always eyeballing the car I'm passing and anticipating dumb stuff like drifting or an attempted lazy no-look lane change.

The speed we are talking about is mostly highway. I don't consider 55-60 in a 40 after 8 pm all that dangerous.
Good to beware a blow out. Saw a truck, supped up late 60's chevy, that had a blowout and go head first into a semi's trailer today. Left lane to right.

Of course if you are living outside of the inner cities of places like Chicago, Philly, Detroit etc, those rates go down by like 90%.

Im sure its fun to pretend otherwise as they run the flag of ISIS up the poles of your governmental buildings

Men have more accidents than women, it doesn't mean that they have more accidents because they're men.

If an insurance company makes you pay more just because you're a guy, you're being screwed
How is that exactly? My testosterone and other sex characteristics verifiably predispose me to risky and reckless behavior, which is something that has been demonstrated scientifically. The fact that my cognitive abilities and temperament keep that elevated risk under control and negate it doesn't matter; the insurance company doesn't know I'm level-headed, and actuaries have no realistic way to model that (except stuff like my age and GPA).

Correlation is sufficient for this kind of judgment. Who cares why increasing age signals a reduced likelihood of accidents? The insurance company just needs to know that it does, so they can peg my rates to my aggregate risk.

Conceptually, paying more because you are a guy is no different than paying less because you have a safe driving record, a safe car, good grades, elevated age, etc. They are all valid indicators of risk.

i totally disagree, you can't help being a guy, you didn't choose it (whatever some SJWs think). You actually chose to respect road laws, etc. If you're involved in an accident that you were found responsible for (i'm simplifying obviously), yeah i'm fine with making him pay more because of his record. the difference being you're not just a statistic, it's your actual responsibility as a person, and that's a big deal.

i don't know how it is in the USA, but in here if i had to pay more because i was a guy, there would be an outrage, it would be considered discrimination..

it's not even about social justice, lol

Let's assume i'm ben carson. I'm black. Statistically speaking, blacks are arrested more, deal with more crimes, etc, etc. So i shouldn't be running for president.

See, that's fucked up. Because it assumes stuff just based on his appartenance on a groupe he didn't choose at all. In a sense that's not that far from the casts system in India ! You happened to be born an untouchable ? well too bad for you, fuck you and your perfect record, you're an untouchable and that's it.

Now let's assume i'm timothy mcveigh, and i didn't do the bombings.I'm white, statistically speaking i am the most "lawful". I apply to the FBI, and i won't get in. Why ? because my record shows (i assume) that i had political ties to potential domestic terrorist groups. And that's fine, and how it should be. And i assume it's how it happens actually.

Is our western society so fucked up that you can't escape a destiny that has been chosen at your birth and that you have no grasp on ? that's the opposite of the ways that made the whole world envy us. fuck that.
