Speeding is something we all probably do, esp with a car that's capable of speed way past any posted limit. 10 mph over is speeding. 35 OVER is stupid. I happen to consistently drive 5 over, so I'm not perfect either. But even 10 over will keep you within the parameters of safety for that location. Someone decided that should be the speed limit. If you don't like it, then go through the process of having it changed or suffer the consequences if you get stopped. But arbitrarily ignoring laws you disapprove of will result in chaos. We have enough of that already. What happens if the guy approaching from the left doesn't like that stop sign? Traffic laws work both ways.

Drifting on public roads is also stupid. I would submit that it's even dumber than speeding so I'm not even going to dive into proving it's dumb. If this was a simple 'I was driving 35 over' thread, we could debate the luck of getting out of a ticket. But throw in 'I'm speeding AND being an asshat trying to drift', then he's nothing but a menace on the public roads.
