Ok, and when I have to take over someone please drive 1m behind me and flash your lights at me. It the least you can do.

Top Gear is just an example. Everyone loves them but I think shows like this, and they specifically, cause of a lot of harm to many people.

Yeah, I did. I though more people die in car accidents but I've checked the number and no.

Also, If you enjoy driving below the speed limit and without any sudden manoeuvres then I have no issue with you enjoying your ride. I think it's obvious that's not what I have issue with.

Great, as long as we agree you should never drive above the speed limit I can agree that there definitely are some roads where the speed limit is set below the maximum safe speed.

one that inherently carries a small amount of risk

To other people. I'm fine with them driving on a racetrack. I'm not fine with them promoting sports cars on public roads. I know they never say "speeding on public roads is fun" but the entire car culture they promote comes down to reckless driving really. And your hobby should never put other people in danger. Any other hobby that would sometimes kill bystanders would be banned. Also, millions of people die in car accidents, big chunk of them because speeding. The risk is not small.

As to what "fun" car is I'm not going to get into definitions here, I'm not writing a law. I think it's clear what I mean. Most people drive under the speed limit, don't accelerate or break suddenly, don't take turns at high speeds. Driving for them is a normal activity. Other people do all those reckless things because they think it's "fun". Yes, you can drive recklessly in any car but some cars specifically promote it. I'm not talking about specific models, more about the idiotic car culture in general.

I'm not saying all speed limits are set perfectly. I'm saying it's not up to you to decide which ones are 'safe' to break. The driver that think they know better than everyone else are the most dangerous ones. Even if you think the limit is set tol low just follow it, ok? Is it so hard?

You pay for what the TOS says. Netflix's TOS say 'any number of devices in the same household. What you're complaining about is that they didn't enforce the rule from the beginning. You're basically complaining that Netflix offered you their service for lower prices for some time before enforcing the real price.

Don't know what buttons or touch screens you have in your care but in my car it's way easier to hit the button than the exact location on the touch screen. You can 'feel' your way to a button on a dashboard, you can't do it on a touch screen.

Why? Can you share a Windows licence? Is that also a dick move?

I hate people like you on the roads. You're not the one who decides what's the safe maximum speed on the road is. If you think you can arbitrary decide that some speed limit is too low and you can drive faster you're wrong and shouldn't be on the road at all. If we had less people like you on the roads everyone would be safer.
