Not at all, but I think it speaks to the fact that these behaviors are commonplace. Like if we were arguing about sky diving without a parachute, I could understand the conviction you express...and absolute statements, like when Scott says no street racing is safe no matter what the speed, are true in my mind...but when I make the decision to have a little fun from a stoplight on a baron road to the speed limit, I don't think it's really all that bad. Not a smart move, but not any dumber than the stupid things people do every day...and they still make it home in one piece. (OMG :o ).
I honestly think that the fact that I won't usually answer my phone while I'm driving makes me safer than thoe of you that do...even taking into consideration that I've raced from a stoplight 3 or 4 times in my life...
