You'll notice I didn't say whether my speed was mph or kph, as they use in Ireland.

Speed is only dangerous relative to hazards. On an empty and beautifully-surfaced motorway, the only possible hazards were animals running out into the road (which can be managed) or a tyre blowout/snapped chain. Backed right off to pass the few bits of traffic there were.

Yeah thats fair enough, but the same could be said for getting pulled over by the rozzers

Glad your still lovin your sv mate, they are very addictive

You hardly ever see any and it's such a straight and quiet motorway, you'd spot them a long way off while you're scanning for anything else which might pose a danger.

Obv you've got to be careful passing anything which could be an unmarked car - ie less than four years old, reasonable size, etc.

The main danger is car drivers taking the p*ss even more than normal due to the road being so quiet. As well as the usual texters, saw a white van man reading a newspaper and eating his sandwiches at the same time!
