if the speed is questionable for what the driver can handle, its too fast for public streetes. Even if I can handle far greater speeds then posted limit, it is my responsibility to others to avoid that situation, just like it is my responsibility to avoid sending you a package of anthrax, even if it is labeled, and you are a professional with anthrax.
It makes a mistake far easier to make, and someone else may not know how to react to such aggressive driving.
OK, so we have a bullet proof 7 series that accidentally hit the button on the jagged metal pieces. Since that happens all the time, we'll go with it. driving the speed limit allows room and time to correct. Even if you did get a flat, the car will probably remain controllable, and if not, it would probably be slow enough to give other drivers time to react. EVEN if all those situations don't happen, and an accident IS caused by such an occurance. 35mph does FAR less damage then , say 60.

Yes, there is a HUGE difference. You should never be with 50% of what you think you can handle on the street.
Public road =! race course. You shouldn't be passing and trail-breaking at the limit on public roads ever.

okay fine, scratch the beer bottle, lets say a box of jagged metal pieces like in those spy movies.

then i guess i drive like an *** every day in the morning when an 18wheeler doing 10 below the speed limit going up a hill spilling gravel on my car and i go to pass him in the opposite lane.

its funny to see the exact same arguments and comments being thrown at you
and these sort of discussions end the same way every time,
this one no different.
