I have actually driven a little bit over 100 I would of went a lot higher but my car only goes that fast. My streets speed limit 25 and I love going over it by at least 20 mph because no cops are ever in my neighborhood. |

Using one foot elminates the possibility of pushing the accelerator and brake at the same time, which I assume would be bad.  Plus, two feet down there... could get a little difficult. One foot does the job. |

While I've definitely gotten used to driving in the recommended fashion, with my right foot doing both, on longer trips I really feel like my left foot is just sitting there, not really doing anything. This feeling becomes even worse when my right foot does the same, when I turn on cruise control. Which is one of the reasons why I sometimes don't turn cruise control on even when it would be fine and safe to do so.
And if you want to drive really fast, take a car on the autobahn. |

You can quickly burn up brakes and/or transmission if you're stepping on both the gas and the brake at the same time. |

or...maybe it is for the sake of sudden breaking because with one foot, you can do an effective stomp better? |

Maybe I'm just weird, but it seems to me that using the same foot for both pedals would increase the possibility of pressing the wrong pedal... *shrug* |

Bah. I think I´ll ask my parents if I can drive our car on a straight road with no cars on it.
I wanna drive fast.  |

A lot of people use their left for braking. I'm not sure why.
Actually, come to think about it, I don't know why it's standard to use your right foot for gas and brake in automatic cars. |

My first time driving, I thought the steering wheel turned the wheels at 1:1. Nope...about 3:1. Quickly followed that up with m' second mistake: stepping on the brake with m' left foot. |

Isn't it kilometers? Or... not?
And I've only driven a car once. And I almost crashed into a sign doing a nice steady 3 miles an hour. Crazy shit. I'm almost 17 and I'm stupid for not taking drivers ed. Now I have to wait until I'm 18 to take it... or take it in the summer, which I'll probably do. I have NY laws. Everyone else drives at 16.. pretty much. |

60Mph during my first and to date only driving lesson from my Dad. I was trying to powerslide like in Ridge Racer. I've been IN a car doing 150Mph though, we jumped a bridge, Smokie and the bandit style. That's rare thopugh. I live in the speed camera caiptal of Europe |

50mph, but only while learning. I still haven't finished my lessons yet. The fastest I've been before is 100mph with my friend in a Rover Metro down the A329M in Reading. Two months later he crashed and wrote off his car and the TVR he crashed into, while driving on the same road. |

To be honest, I'm not a modern sports bikeman. I just prefer the groovey stylings of old 50s bikes and earlier sports/courier bikes. The Indian motorcycle = awesome. Also, the Russian military stylized bikes are ill. |

Anyone who would attempt a stopie at 150+ is just retarded. But the people are out there that will try it... |

Hmm, I dunno if Bugatti Veyron is legal for street use but that car can break the 250mph barrier.
Damn fast. |

3:45am explains a bunch....
And, I don't think that enough organs would be be in reasonable shape after a net 300mph impact for donation. Two vehicles at 150mph in a head-on...yeah. I didn't think there were any cars legal for street use that could hit 300...might be wrong...wouldn't be the first time.  |
