And also just the stupidity of knowing how illegal and questionable it is and uploading it to the net

Look at the Motorcycle industry with the gentlemans agreement on the 186MPH limit, most superbikes can break it from factory - only the dash will still show 186.... Most superbikes can also do nigh on 100MPH in 1st gear . . . . what's the point of the other 5? Volvo is now going to start restricting its vehicles to 112MPH from factory. Still above all speed limits on the continent. What's the point? |

Re: mmm prison food
Identifying the vehicle involved would be relatively easy if you have a time frame, but where are you going to get the information around when it was filmed? Pretty much the only way the police will manage that in the absence of a digital footprint is if they can read one of the registration numbers on one of the vehicle that gets overtaken, and I don't think the quality of the footage, even if it was enhanced, is good enough for that.
Speaking as someone who drove on UK motorways at over 150mph on pretty much a daily basis you do need to look beyond just the figures involved. They are certainly in a car capable of handling the speed, the weather, traffic and location are probably as suitable as you could ever reasonably get, and apart from mucking about with his camera he's ticking most of the boxes so although I'm not in any way suggesting what he did was appropriate or safe it's not quite the headline it's being made out to be. I've seen a whole lot more dangerous driving at half that speed. |

After going round a gentle bend, I struggled to keep it in the lane with the traction lights flashing like a Christmas tree. Slowed down a bit after that. Sent from an S20 using Tapatalk with that kin cr4p blocked

The speedo on my pointy stopped working for a while. At the time I was commuting on it every day, and with no speedo rode it at what I believed to be a safe and sensible pace. It wasn't until the speedo decided it would start working again, and I looked down to see what speed I was travelling at, that it was clear I was riding at a speed that wasn't quite as sensible as I had perceived it to be.

Re: mmm prison food
I never knew an RS6 could do 200 mph.
