Do you find yourself driving faster when...

[Louis101993]

Do you find yourself driving faster when there's a emergency (Crash, house fire, family took to hosipital, ect ect)?

There's two ways of looking at it, go there calm, steady, patiently thinking you don't want to end up with the same fate

Or the other way is thinking, F************k, GOT TO GET THERE!!! Then proceeding the fucking blasting it...

I personally end up going fairly fast, my friend had a crash just outside his college today, he had no phone, he got one of his friends to post the following on my facebook.

"Lukes just crashed. at college got no phone, bikes broke and i need to go A&E"

Nothing more nothing less, no way of contacting him that I knew of, so first thing I did in the spur of the moment was jump on my bike and begin to power down to college, which is normally a 20 minute ride.

I did it in 8 minute on this occassion.

Let me know your thought, Louis.

Yes. When I'm in a seriously bad mood I tend to go stupidly fast, also.

yes but i consider emergencies to be things such as, foods is likely to be cold when i get there or if im not 5 mins early i will have to rush to have a ciggy before going in

I would consider that I really didn't want to crash in such a situation, making it worse for everyone concerned.

So I would go my normal speed, which when regularly commuting would be as fast as I safely could .
I may consider upping the pace on bits where there was the possibility of risking a hidden speed camera, as usually would stick to the speed limits most of the time.

About a year ago i had a phone call from my oldest lad - "Mums had a car accident, please get here quick"

I have no idea how long it took me to get there, but i do remember overtaking a copper who was on his way to the scene (not on blues and two's admittedly)

I have never since and probably will never again ride like that..

Luckily Mrs Beatnck and the kids were ok.

I don't let emotion control me enough to risk my life stupidly.

If I am pissed off I will tend to ride way more chilled out just to have some peace and quiet on my own.

I voted for "doesnt change." I ride the way I ride regardless of time, temper, mood or emergency.

I go as fast as I think I can get away with at all times really. So if there were something MEGA important I'd take a few more risks but i'd probably still be going safer than some i've seen on the roads.

[The Shaggy D.A.]

Usually when someone needs A&E after a crash I ring 999. I didn't know the ambulance service monitored Facebook now.

Police Roadcraft is very clear that you should ride/drive in your normal way, and focus on the journey, not the destination or what awaits you.

Then every copper gets behind the wheel and leathers it everywhere, dah-dah-dah, wah-wah-wahhing the theme from The Professionals.
