Why do people drive fast? Well.. If we leave out get away situations and emergencies.. People do it generally for the thrill they get out of it, or because they want to prove something, or simply because they are just inconsiderate morons looking for trouble.
Then again this this post is not about other people. It's about why I do it. So here goes.
Its about the RUSH. The same rush a junkee would get from sniffing coke.
Its an ecstatic feeling. Makes you feel nothing else in the world matters. All your worries, troubles hopes, dreams, commitments disappear for that brief moment. Your senses on full alert. Adrenaline rushing through your system. Because you know, you are taking the vehicle to the absolute limit, and no matter what safety precaution your car came packed with, if you make a mistake it's going to end badly, either for you or for someone on the road. Life hangs in the balance. The beauty of the situation is that, in this chaos you find clarity, absolute focus. It's so pristine and otherworldly that you just lose yourself in the indulgence, and give in; For, that brief moment in time, You are alive and free.
All that being said, going fast and reckless on public roads is just plain wrong.
