Tbf, it's not even those who think they're showing off, screaming it away from a cafe or meet or whatever. But it's where those places are. I'm surprised I don't see more of them getting creamed by other traffic, and I feel for people who live there too. And at those sorts of places, I've seen them get killed. The White Bear in Ongar was one: police stepped up their presence when it became a dangerous nuisance, and still someone wiped themselves out playing silly buggers when the police weren't around. And that was the end of that pub, and that was far from being a built up area. Saw another at High Beach one time, guy with a girl on the back (and she was dressed to kill, not apparently aware she was also dressed to easily be killed) and he wheeled it over the top, showing off in an inappropriate place. As steve suggests, there are times and places to have fun, between the villages and towns away from (at least) most others. I mean, we all do some silly things now and again I guess, and I certainly was no angel as a yoof, but I certainly give it a lot more thought these days. Besides, I can't afford the petrol for too many shenanigans these days :lol
