Is speeding on an empty road irresponsible?
Before you jump to any argument, allow me to lay down the terms:
It is a long, wide road with few turns and lovely straights. It's mid-afternoon and the road is rarely used by commuters, as there is a shorter, faster route to get between settlements. The speed limit on the road is the national limit (that's 60mph for those unaware). It is just you on the road, and you can see ahead of you for miles - the road is deserted. For argument's sake we'll say you're doing 100mph on this 60mph road.
With only your life in danger if anything goes wrong, is it still irresponsible? If you accept that it is your fault should anything happen to you, are you not entitled to, essentially, "go for it"?
Any thoughts?

nope. I work a night shift job and get off at 12:15am every night (guess you could say it's very early morning). Even for a huge city like Seattle the place is literally a ghost town like you'd see in Halo 3: ODST no joke. I book it home every night and only slow down when exiting an off ramp and by slowing down I mean going down to 60 mph. I love driving home because I am not at the mercy of slow idiots like I am on the way to work. I am able to drive the speed I want and save a ton of time. It's all about the time for me. I save easily 5 hours per week being able to get home so fast as opposed to how long it would take me to get home during a day shift.
