Where did the words "totally acceptable" come from? They're as accurate as describing me as "heavily bearded"!
FYI (despite the humorous quote from the HHGTTG) I only consider that sort of riding in *appropriate* places, ie not doing 60 in a 30 limit, not overtaking in dangerous places that cause other road users to have to change their speed or direction and generally not riding like a complete twunt.
There's also the point that I a) admitted that I made a mistake and b) I will *learn* from it rather than thinking "wow, that was good riding that let me recover from that" without changing my behaviour.
