The Need for Speed

Before I begin, let me say this first - I am an incredibly safe driver. I know a lot of people just say this, but I believe that I seriously put this into action. I am a rubbernecker, mirror-checker who always is courteous to other drivers and conscious of the road conditions. I always have been and probably always will be. Given that, I really love to drive incredibly fast when I am alone. I can’t quite put into words exactly what makes it such a thrill. Is it the speed or the fact that I am breaking every speed law known to man and could get caught at any second? When I am driving fast, I am constantly on the lookout for the highway patrol, pushing the envelope and wondering exactly how fast can I get this car go? Admittedly there have been a few close calls with pricey speeding tickets and swearing up and down that I will never do that again. But I know that I will. I am an addict getting my fix.
