driven up A19 in a blizzard, with slush or road.. not too bad I suppose, but then you decide to overtake a slowcoach doing 60 (moving into ovetaking side which hasn't been cleared), sliding around all over the place on slush and ice, snow blowing straight towards you at night.. doing 90 in an E30..
I suppose aquaplaning at 90 ish on the A9, rain belting down and road slightly flooded was a bit daft, back end all over the place..
Rallying around coutry single track roads at night with no lights on (not something I've ever done before.. honest  )
All good fun, but tame in comparrison to other posts on here

My stupidest moment was when I was 17yrs old on a GPZ600, sitting on a dual carrageway doing 80ish I got overtaken by a bronze coulored rover 827. I took great offence to this and decided to show him who was boss, so I let him get up the road a bit then did a fly past at 125mph. The Rover turned out to be an unmarked cop car, 6 months later I got my leicence back!

getting stuck behind an old biddy in her 1,2 clio doing 20 mph in the outside lane of a 40mph dual carridgeway(sp?) followed her for quarter of a mile untill all the traffic from the left lane had gone past then knocking the cossie back into 1st and undertaking her sideways with 1 arm out the window showing my appreciation for her considerate driving , grabbing second and accelerating up to 60 odd mph . (sounds like fun duznt it !) the whole incident unbeknown to me was being filmed by a traffic car that was 3 cars behind 
fortunatly the copper was retiring 2 weeks time and let me off with a talking too , he then started asking questions about the car and its mods and asked if i would take him for a spin "because he'd never seen anything go so f*^!^g quick .
NEW PANTS PLEASE . i have since sold it and still have my licence

Have to admit to being a bit of a tearaway in my younger days, 360's
done on purpose late at night when no-one was about, driving from
Rushden in Northants to Inverness and back overnight after finishing
work and getting home in time to go to work the following day,
overtaking traffic islands in the car or on the bike just for the hell
of it cos I got bored.....
Those were the days when you could have a bit of fun on the roads and
still stay safe too. Can't do anything like it now, too many
idiots on the road and too many busy-body fuzziewuzzies about to spoil
things.
Not to mention of course that I'm way too old now for such behaviour.......yeah right

Confession thread here.....
Probably the most stupid thing I ever did was on the A43 back in 1987.
Driving home in the early hours of the morning in the artic. Full
load in the bulk trailer behind me, music on full pelt and ciggie on
the go.
Came across a car going everso slowly, nothing coming so thought I'd drop a gear and overtake. No problem...
Didn't happen to notice traffic island in the road, was a new one and not been down the road for a few weeks.
Oh bleep bleep bleep....
Visions of 44 tonnes of artic and chicken offal on the road flashed
across my mind. So I decided to overtake the traffic island
aswell as the car.
The look on the car driver's face was a picture.
