Talking about being a dickhead, ive got one.. that might shut some people up thinking they are cool to street race.
Im not talking myself up here, but around my area, from experience, im known be the driver. By the age of 13 i used to joyride in my mums car and race Sti's and Gtrs and id still manage to keep up or beat them around turns..i had built up a reputation, and you can think this is all bullshit, but if anyone here is from sydney, come around and ill show you around, simple. I race on the track in karting, and am currently building a 9sec car which will be due very soon, (there will be vids and pics to share with this community)..
Once apon a time, in my first car i was driving along a main road. Road was damp. Speed limit was 70kph. (princess highway, if anyone from sydney is reading).. and i was doing roughly 160-170kph, which is nothing compared to what i would normally go at. So i already know how to control a road car well beyond 200kph no problem one hand bla bla bla..
Lights went yellow at the traffic lights about 200m ahead. at 160kph on a road car, your going to go through yellow, you wont make the lights braking, especially in damp weather. So, i kept going, everything was clear...
..until about 50m a car runs the light in the other direction. There was 1 clear lane for me to travel through by the way.. My estimation was i slowed down to about 120 from my "super duper reflexs" So i guess you can guess what happened.
The love of my life, my best friend who is more than a brother to me and his mate ended up in hospital that night with minor injury... to top it off, a baby was in the other car. Dont ask how, but the baby had no injury, the mother had neck pains and a headache, and the father was in shock.
But because i can handle a car, i was able to prep myself, had no shock, felt like i was never in an accident and was unharmed.
Call me a dick all you want, because even though THEY ran the red light, im a ****ing dickhead and ill never forget that moment. If i was really such a good driver i was made out to be, i wouldnt have been doing that speeds in the first place.
and why was i speeding? my ego grew bigger than my brain and my balls..
What if the situation was different and my passengers and the others were killed? i would have been labled as a killer to 6 people.. Im a great guy nice heart, yet.. look what happened?
What kills me the most, because i still refuse to let go what ive done, people have shown respect to me because of learning my lesson, but at the end of the day, it makes me feel nothing but a dick.
All in all, personally it hasnt effected me, i dont feel that fear or shock from impact, but that doesnt mean others wouldnt feel fear either..
Im only 19 years old, and ive been doing that since the age of 12. Take it from a guy that been there done that.. your one hell of a flop if you speed like that...
..especially if you must record it and put it on youtube.. gtfo!
and i was no better, heck, if i get flammed right now, id deserve it. I just thought there are some guys here who think theres no harm.. well if you read my story.. theres ****ing harm.
