Default Yes Ma'am

My wife and I were driving home on a two lane. Got behind Pepsi truck and two cars. Pulled out to pass, car coming but plenty of time, gunned it, hit 110 mph as I pulled back in. The wife had a few choice words and ended by saying, "I almost peed in my pants, and if you do that again, I will right here on your seats."

Needless to say, I cooled it the rest of the way home.

Default Just my thoughts

I always thought that it wasn't cool to scare other riders. I know that I have been scared before and didn't appreciate it. So I don't mess around with any passengers onboard.
I figure that if I have passengers my full attention isn't where it should be. Also seem to make poorer decisions with others present.
Good answer by the other half!!
Personally if that happened to me I wouldn't ride with you again. Don't get me wrong it might have been safe pass but if a passenger was at ill ease then it's on you!!
Not bashing just brought back some memories....maybe some of the less responsible drivers might learn something at least with others onboard.
I have close to 3 million miles driving and have seen more than my share of un-needed accidents.
By the way what does your little clip have to do with this Forum?
Maybe you need to have more respect for other people.

I guess everyone has their own perception of "plenty of time".

I doubt I would get that response from the SO, I'd probably be the first one to douse the seat.
