No you are wrong, that section is tailor made for that. That is like going into the audio section and harping on people adding weight to their cars for a sound system.
yeah I forgot about all those kids who kill innocent people with their badly wired stereos.
So, you stay under the speed limit at all times? You don't ever go past 2500RPM before you shift? Do you drive when you're tired... or just had "a little" to drink? What about when you have a cold, or just took some medicine? Do you ever eat or smoke or change the radio when you're driving? Are you ever on a cell phone when you're driving? Dude, all these things can lead to "killing innocent people"... I'm sure at least ONE of those things you've done... Street racing isn't always what you see in Fast and the Furious... some people race to the speed limit (I did...) and it's not always filled with traffic... I can agree with the fact that some people are just plain stupid, and kill innocent people, but that can happen... street racing or not.
With that analogy, it is like saying, "Do you sleep with a pillow? cause you can suffocate"

What does shifting below 2500 rpm have to do with safe driving?

This thread was made with valid points behind it, I was stating how a section dedicated to a certain thing cant even be used that way. If that is useless bitching then so be it.......I'm out.....

Shifting below 2500RPM simply indicates that one is not generally in a "hurry"... kinda like... if your grandma was driving... it was more an exaggeration, and I believe the idea of my post was that anyone who comments about street racing should look into their own lives and see if they are doing anything unsafe. I'm sure out of that list, we all do at least one of 'em, and could be endangering the lives of others... if you're wrapping out every gear... the likeliness of you practicing "unsafe" driving is higher than that of those who are shifting under 2500RPM.
