Insangerous

What a great made-up word. Truly, it describes the actions of anyone who doubles the speed limit - they are insane and endanger others. Here are some examples:

1. Fastest Lap - I have never been to New York. I have know idea what the roads are like except through movies (Men in Black). That being said, driving around Manhattan in less that half an hour sounds fast. Looking at the approximate route he took, The route should take around 40 mintues averaging 36 mph (Google). The driver averaged 56 mph, topping out at 144 mph. Pretty good.

2. 520 Bridge - The speed limit is 60 and people commonly drive slower. The trooper believes the driver reached 150 mph; he averaged 137 mph while weaving through cars. I don't even think I can imagine what that looks like in my rear view mirror - approaching faster than cars if you were parked on the freeway. (Here would be the loop of Lake Washington)

Lastly, please don't drive this fast!!! Sign up to be a test pilot (for missles) or something else, that doesn't endanger others.
