I agree that racing belongs on a track and i shouldn't have accelerated in that corner, period.
But i do feel some nuance is in place:
I was hardly "racing". The evening of the accident i had been cruising thru the city (below the 30 km/h speedlimit) for almost 2 hours. I crashed in an area that's deserted at night. (port/industrial area with warehouses)
Even there i was below the speedlimit, and maybe if it wasn't freezing this wouldn't have happened.
This doesn't mean it was ok to accelerate in that corner, i'm only trying to explain i wasn't driving like a madman, just that one corner i made a bad decision.
But yeah, i'm very grateful i hit just cars and not people.
Have you ever been to Belgium?
Or care to explain why you're glad you don't live here? (don't tell me it's just so you can't get run over by me, most of the time i'm riding my BMX anyways
)
