Its no big deal. If I want to run 80, 90, or occasionally 100, I can and will. If you want to try to slow me down, I'll pass you. It happens 10 times a day. Last car accident was 10+ years ago. Last speeding ticket was in 97. So, apparently, this works for me at least.
This attitude so perfectly sums up all that is f'd up with America and people in general. The I'll do what I want regardless of the possible risks/consequences said action(s) will impose on others. Hopefully it continues to "work" for you, all it would take is a few seconds of things going wrong to completely ruin not only your life and possibly others who may not have signed up for the risk/reward model you've going on here. To me saving a bit of time by putting myself and others at a greater risk of injury or death isn't a smart investment.
