Mods, if this isn't appropriate, please take it down. Otherwise, this short little video REALLY struck a cord.

I have a son so of course that made my heart shutter. Not just about speed in that case though, it's also about driving cautiously and defensively with precious cargo. Thanks for posting.

Great reminder about the importance of safe driving. I have three young children; so this really hits home for me.

If you drive fast around heavy traffic and pedestrians you're an *******.

If you drive fast on the highway with light traffic you're doing it right.

+1 and if I may add, do a DE every now and then if possible. It's probably a maximum reward minimum risk when it comes to going fast and being safe. (Plus, when you're negotiating turns and straights it can remind you of the limitations of your car (understeer/oversteer) and that you're not Ayrton Senna - which is a good thing when/if you see the red mist on public roads.)
