150kph in 60kph zone, fail to stop, fail to take corner in prescribed manner, fail to indicate, fail to stop at red light, negligent driving, all in my old 1275 Leyland Mini.
Ended up boxed in by about 6 cop cars.
I was 17, after the subsequent belting, fines and loss of license, I drove much more sensible on the street.
My brother introduced me to some of his motorsport mates, I've saved my speed for the track or strip ever since.
I'm 53 now and haven't been booked for speeding since then.
Disclaimer: I do drive just under 10% faster than the limit everywhere I go though, except school zones, never been caught by a camera or mobile cop car.
It was a good lesson though, I hate to recall how many friends and associates aren't around today because of high speed crashes on the street.
