Oh, I forgot, you like to make people pee their pants, in your automatic........
Apparently you missed post #39 of mine. I put nobody in danger but myself. As for the automatic, it's not slow and I get to keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times.

Four states — Idaho, Texas, Utah and Wyoming — now have top authorized limits of at least 80 mph. A dozen more states have top speed limits of 75 mph, including Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota. Moreover, 22 additional states have a top speed limit of 70 mph, five of which (Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Tennessee) average 70 mph across their urban and rural interstates and other limited-access roads, as listed by the GHSA.

All those speeds can kill people, even 55mph.

I'm not going to trade any more barbs with you Kram, if you want to turn yourself into a smear on the road that's your call. Just think twice about the prospects of killing / maiming some poor unsuspecting guy and his family out of sight over the next rise.

I am very cautious of others. If you go back to post #31 I have Google street view of that stretch. You can see everything, no steep hills to obscure view, you can probably see 2 miles or more ahead of you at all times.

I appreciate the concern, this is not something I do every day. I didn't even set out to do it that day, was just out for a drive and the opportunity presented itself.
