For me "How long could I get away with driving like an ABSOLUTE ASSHOLE all the time before I lost my licence or had an accident." Speed limits, red lights, stop signs... forget them all. Every day I have to drive sensibly and obey the law because without my licence I dont have a job, and every day I see at least one person driving like an absolute moron and I wonder...

I'd like to see GMO humans. I want to see how far we can elevate our species using science. It's completely unethical, but there it is.

Oh I'm no saint. I set my cruise control at 10km/h over the speed limit, I punch it through orange lights and I sometimes roll through stop signs.

I'm talking about full blown fast and furious wannabe swerving lanes, running reds and racing literally everywhere.

This describes my brother in law. Granted, he's better than he used to be about 10 years ago, but he grew up in a small town, got to know all the cops pretty quickly, did a little jail time here and there but still has his license. He's totalled many vehicles, spent some time in ICU and still drives like a bat out of hell.
