Nobody wants to tell the truth.
But this is what he was trying to do
i do think that's a possibility, but it wouldn't surprise me if he speeds like that all the time, either for the thrill or even just impatience. when you're going that fast crazy shyt can happen if you fukk up even a little.
it fits with some of his other behavior, too, like how he got really into that navy seal training and skiing. both really dangerous for his career but i guess he always liked the rush. pushing himself to the limit, taking risks.
that could be a subconscious death wish too.
