Some of my friends like to drive very fast in the roads and I think this is not safe not only for themselves, but also for others. Is is possible to change them? Do you think driving too fast makes a person great?

why do you want to change everything & everybody. i don't think they should be driving fast but the sooner u learn people are going to do what they want the better off you'll be. i always thought i had a full time job talking care of my own buisness. bet u do to if you's just do it.

Sure friend I also think I should take care of my own business. I am only worried about just over speed guys hitting others especially there are two schools near the road.

I talked to them and make them understand and they will go over speed only in the places out of city.

they know better , they need to act like adults & grow up. being that careless is not being very grown up.

No, I don't think it makes them great to drive fast, and use their cars as a status symbol. I think it makes them look very foolish! There's no way you can change them but if they are served with a few traffic notices and fines, then they might realise that they can't go around putting other people's lives in danger, not to mention their own! Brightest Blessings.

Some guys thinking that racing too fat in the street is cool. There are two schools near the road and I think it is foolish as it is dangerous to the school children crossing the roads. Some guys put their stand, wheel stand, etc additionally and when they race it touches the road and makes sparks and they think these things are very cool.

They won't think it so cool when they knock a child down... they'll realise that they're the idiots they look!

I do not like speed and some people thinks that speed thrills, but I think it causes lots of inconvenience to lots of people also.

Driving fast is a personal preference and something no friend will make a person change. That would probably have to be done by a significant other or family. The reason why I say this is a lot of people will get upset that you are meddling in their life and telling them essentially 'what to do'. If you preferred to do one thing over another would you appreciate someone essentially telling you 'your' way is wrong. Me personally I can't stand slow drivers I prefer drivers who go with the flow of traffic and not slow it down essentially impeding the flow. Going fast doesn't really have anything to do if it makes someone great. it should never be a reflection on how they are as a person. Some times people are late so need to go faster. Some times there is an emergency and someone say needs to get to a hospital and could wait for the ambulance. And others just want to get home. Who are we to judge how others drive? I say focus on your own driving and do not worry about what they are doing. If you are in the car with them then of course you can say something but if it doesn't entirely effect you its best you don't say anything at all as your friends may feel your over stepping your boundaries.

I think lots of accidents can happen due to riding very fast. I have read in newspapers school kids are hit by driving too fast by the bikers. I think it is okay to drive fast in places where there is less traffic or outside the city and school area.
