I have to agree with you there....in my previous two cars..although i didnt do anything REALLY stupid like going 80km/h + over speed limit...I have to admit I did drive a bit more wildly in it...and I kept on getting speeding fines...all were below 20km/h over speed limit but they added up and I was left with one point on my liscence.
Now im not sure if its cause I got the skyline at a later age or because I almost karked it in my first car... but I am much more aware of what the car is capable of and have more respect for the machinery and as a result I drive much more sedatley.
To date have not had a speeding fine whatsoever in the skyline. touch wood.
government has to realise that hi-po cars are hi-performane in more areas than speed ie braking and handling..
Infact there was one time my "hi-po" brakes saved me from getting in to an accident. I was at the lights....4th car from the front, light goes green all the cars start moving and for some unknown reason the first car suddenly stalls or brakes....consequently the second car hits the first and third hits second but because of my brakes I was able to avoid the accident.
You could put it down to reaction time but im pretty sure I reacted the latest cause I was sort of checkin out this girl at the bus stop as i slowly took off in first...
