We are a Christian family. We follow the teachings of the New Testament. The Bible is extremely informative. It says, “obey all laws, for they come from God himself”.

My wife gets so frustrated with me when, I take her out for a cruise in our E53. Because at some point, I am definitely going to lay into that truck something fierce. The smell of the methanol, the sound of the M54, it’s intoxicating! But for her, I am just breaking laws. She doesn’t care that it makes me feel better. She only cares that I follow the laws set, for operating a motor vehicle safely.

Now hear me out. I am not grossly violating traffic codes. (Ok, maybe once a year, by myself). But, the point is, to follow the laws (rules). I get it, but I am not able to do it all the time. I am not perfect.

This goes to your question why people cannot follow the guidelines. We’re human, we make mistakes. Some of us decide we’re going to break the rules. It’s human nature.

That is why I suggest, you take care of yourself at the highest level! Now one is going to take care of you, better than you!

We are taking care of ourselves. Just an observation of a sad demonstration of human behavior. A mistake is unintentional. Not wearing a mask is intentional. Do unto others---

Yeah bc, I hear you. Some people do unto others, and then when it’s done to them they have a fit.

Except that you breaking the law may cause the death of someone else. How many time have we heard about drunk drivers crashing into another driver and killing the driver? You don't have to be drunk to crash a car. Paul Walker of Fast and Furious fame died in a car crash that was just a single car accident. I have owned my share of fast and exotic cars and if I want to let it all hang out I would go to a track before screwing around on the street.

In Texas we have 80 mph speed limits. I may do 90 once a year. It doesn’t matter to my wife, 80 is 80 to her. I may accelerate to the posted speed limit. She doesn’t find anything about it amusing.

I do not street race.
