Obviously it depends on the situation. The one in which you describe is basically a race track. I think he's referring to the situations where there's a minivan full of kids next to you, or the 16 year old that just got their license and is nervous as hell. There's a time and place for sure...
Highway's your's? Let 'er rip!
Innocent Bystanders? Maybe not so much.
There's also the argument that I don't want my tax dollars going towards fixing guard rails all the time because some guy decided to play 'stig'
