TP, how many pilots do you know who have common sense? Do the CAA have common sense? Do the media use common sense?
If you can justify 'having a go' outside of limits at the subsequent board of enquiry feel free to 'have a go'.
In the best case its your license, do what you like with it. In the worst case its banged up in a foreign slammer on a manslaughter charge.
Good luck to you, but please don't 'have a go' if me or my familly are on board, we'd rather you stick to the rules no matter how inconvenient.
