I'm a big jaywalker, I rarely do it when I could be interfering with cars trying to drive though.
Cuz as most montrealers know, drivers don't stop for jaywalkers here.

Meh, I do the square root of -1. Pshhhhhh...


I also duck ropes while skiing, and ski out of bounds fairly often. Only if there's powder to be found tho.

I like to double the speed limit when possible. I have only had 3 speeding tickets in 22 years. I go over 100mph on a monthly basis, 140mph when I had a Datsun 280Z. Arkansas is the land of unofficial autobauns (spelling?). There are other violations that are best left unsmoked...I.. I mean unsaid.
Awesome. How many people have you almost killed?

Thank you.
Job security for those of us in the ski patrol / emergency medical service / and search and rescue business.

The general public seems to misread the signs that clearly declare, "Ambulance Parking Only". For some reason they stupidly think they say, "No Parking".

Higgi, meet Mr Darwin. because....., if you haven't yet, you will!
 
I tend to ignore red light and if traffic's slow I tend to pass on the right lane

I also tend to ride a bike ;) so there's no problem

Also on the bike: guilty of entering one way streets from the wrong side, having no lights a night and in denmark: having two persons on the bike

other than that I guess I download mp3's from time to time, but they're allmost allways artists that can't be had from local cd stores or artists that are dead, so morally I feel a bit justified

also in university papers I forget to add the right sources, so I use ideas from books without naming the book and author, but I don't do it on purpose.

well I did drink when it was illegal...15 years old that is, but it's been legal for years now for me. and smoking pot is legal too.

however I don't litter, that's just complete carelessness and unnescessary
 
In 22 years of driving I have never had a wreck that I caused. Not even a fender bender. I don't speed like that on city streets just the open back roads. Very similar conditions as the autobaun or whatever. Somehow those people who drive in places like that don't have an increased rate of death. There was a study done at the local university here that shows as speed limits for a road increase traffic deaths decrease. So if you speed in a place that most people expect to see speeders then they are less likely to pull into the street or make a left turn at inappropriate moments. I do have to admit as I have gotten older I have slowed down some. And I have never had a DWI or DWU. The times when I have been stupid enough to drive under the influence I am so paranoid as to drive 10mph under the limit. Acctually I have heard that is how they profile certain violations.
