Am i a bad driver??!?

ok so i was leaving work and i always gun it out of my work and i love to drive fast. well anyways i was going fast i say about 50-60 in the parking lot.. so i left and i saw my friend walking to work so i picked him up gave him a ride back. In the parkinglot i noticed some lady behind me with her cell phone like pointing at my car i thought she was gonna write down my license plate or something so i speed up and dropped my friend off and got out of the parking lot. About halfway out the lady cuts infront of my so i can move and says that i almost ran over her kids and if u keep on driving like that your gonna kill some one.. Well i was like im sorry i didn't see the stop sign(its one of those in the ground that says stop)should i feel bad? Or am i just a bad driver? this ever happened to anyone else?

oh can i get a ticket from someone writing down my license plate and tell them that im driving to fast..

just wondering..

jeff

I agree. Seriously that is really fast. If someone had backed out imagine what would have happened to your car. Instead of posting a thread called "Am i a bad driver??!?", it would be "is my car totalled?". Slow down.

Where's Darwinism and a tree when you need it. maybe making safer cars is a bad thing for the gene pool.

unless your autocrossing or something, going that fast in a parking lot is pretty stupid...

Agreed, parking lots aren't race tracks. I witnessed the last moments of a Probe GT that hit a curb while pulling off some stupidity induced parking lot sprints, a freind of mine was going out with this idiot at the time and needless to say she wasn't impressed. Not cool..
