Honestly, I didn't bother to read the rules yet I knew it was common sense. That being said....

I live my life 1/4mi at a time.

An anecdote at Zdayz was that a crew of Z drivers were pulled over by law enforcement, and the officer said that he didn't care if we sped as long as we stayed on the right side of the double yellow.

That seems to have been the prevailing wind, as the only speeding ticket I heard of at Zdayz was 30+ miles away in Bryson City.

Oh, I agree they shouldn't have posted a "kill" like that. It's against forum rules.

My post stated you rarely get the car over 50mph. Did I mention what the posted limit was?

Nothing in mustang's post said he was doing anything illegal. Just said something was terrifying.

Edit: and instead of posting an insult, why not report their posts if you object to it so much? Is it because you'd rather

?

Also, KB, to avoid further derailing this thread, if you have any problems with me personally, may I suggest we handle it in PM's? I promise I won't turn it into a flame war as long as you don't.

Per the ZdayZsite the speed limit is 30mph, soo those going 50 where speeding LOL, Anyways it also says that the area is not populated and there is little risk of people pulling out infront of you, but crossing lanes is deadly. Keep you car under control at all times guys. I'm sure you've seen the post from the guy a while ago who had a PU swerve into his lane and both in it where killed. TheZ driver was in his lane and was doing nothing wrong, he had a severly broken leg but was able to drag himself out of his car. Stay safe guys. We don't want to start filling this forum with memorials of past Z owners, or to give a show a bad reputation.

But where did I say I was going 50mph? If you want to get technical, I never admitted to that.

Also, we had the tacit acceptance of law enforcement officers, who had stated they were less concerned with speeding than crossing the yellow line.

The bottom line is this. None of us is perfect in how we drive or what we post. But the rules are the rules. If a ton of threads spring up to discuss kill lists or street racing, then law enforcement will start paying attention to the dangerous drivers on this forum, and that effects the admins of this site as well as the members.

While maybe they were a bit excessive in pointing out nynhex's error, the other users were trying to inform him of the rules.

It is on a link from their page. I'm sure they had speed limit signs also, but regardless if people where crossing the yellow lines they did not have control of thier cars.

Fire · 05-24-2011, 03:04 PM

As said lets get off this subject and return to the thread, I did nothing with my Z today other than putting the car cover on it in the garage.

I was extremely careful to stay on my side of the yellows, as were most Zdayz attendees.
