used to LOVE to go fast, I'd scream down I-15 from Redlands to Escondido on the way to San Diego going 90+ (and never got a ticket); I was one of the worst aggressive drivers on the LA freeways, too. But then I moved to NYC, didn't have a car for 2 years and by the time I bought another one I'd gotten married and had bought a new car I didn't want totaled and just stopped driving too fast.

Well, I stopped driving fast on all roads except freeways. And I was driving in northern Virginia by then, and no one knew how to speed safely... it seemed like SoCalifornians could cope with traffic and speed, but NoVirginians couldn't.

And I was also living on a mountain - very twisty 20 miles up to my house - and I saw too many dead animals and too many asshats off the side of the mountain from bad, fast driving. Kinda cured me, at least of the twisty roads.
