Don't want to be a pain but the minimum length of a football pitch is 90m max 120m

so I've no idea where you got your figures from

I'd be asking the question if I was up in the stand. Is it 3 Victoria parks or 3 hampden parks, because 3 hampden parks = 4 Victoria Parks, but if its 3 Victoria parks that's only really 2 and a bit at the Falkirk stadium not 3.

I realise this means nothing to anyone on here as its BB but if we are going to use football pitches as a unit of measurement can we note that they can differ by 30 m in length.

He might have got his figures from the average length of football pitch being 105m therefore three of them would be 315m.
Perhaps.

AS I said I googled it. I have no idea the size of a football pitch as I have no interest in football.

Buy anywho before we get into a Lounge debate, even at 315mtr more or less that's much further than it would take to stop from 147mph I would have thought

Thanks for the post. You'd think though with all your time dealing with the bar association of recent that you'd know how to hit the space one.

plenty of stopping distance calculators around all with similar results

say 1500ft or 450m from 180mph is about 4 football pitches

Actually, I count 4 junctions on that section, if you include the on/off access to both Auchterarder and Aberuthven, as well as the junction for Whitemoss and the entrance to the sewage works.

Where your protests fall on deaf ears, really, is irrespective of whether you were testing or calibrating, whether it was 10 at night or 4 in the morning, whether there was a full moon or not, or whatever Neil Grieg may or may not say, you were banged to rights and caught speeding at over 140 mph.

There have certainly been fatalities at the Auchterarder junction in the past, so they are a little sensitive there.

While not wishing to drag us all into the same category, some of us have indeed exceeded the limits as specified by the Road Traffic Act, so I, for one, will not claim to be an angel in this respect at all, but courts tend to take a very dim view on speeds such as you were doing. There is simply no excuse OR justification for doing what you did, except maybe to yourself, and that is more or less what the court said.

You can calibrate your LPG system on a rolling road if you really need to calibrate it for those speeds, or as the Sherriff suggested, on a race track.

Bottom line, you broke the first law of speeding - you got caught. That the press may have sensationalised your story, got the facts wrong, made stuff up, live with it. That's the media for you, and you were in their sights.

Entertaining thread, I've only just bothered reading it from start to finish.

Has Stickyfingers given up? I wanted to know why he doesn't ride a bike any more
