Stupid twunts, hope they do get caught but it seems unlikely.
Why do you hope that ?
s, willing to put everyone else at risk. Carnage does not follow. In fact they have the second lowest numbers of fatalities in the whole of continental Europe.
It's morons like you who bleat on about speed who are the main reason we have the most over policed speed limits in the world. (and just about the lowest limits in Europe).
Well done.

It gets a bit repetitive, but it's a fact that thousands of people do speeds like this and faster every single day in Germany and have been doing so for decades.

t?k off its a pointless Irrelevant comparison with Germany where it's legal and can be anticipated that some cars will be travelling that fast. Most UK drivers do not expect to look out for morons at 143mph. It's bad enough doing NSL in the UK and having sunday driving plodders pull out without looking.

Have to agree I dont get the whole ooo st 140mph.
Across the weekend I could easily estimate a few cars going over 120mph, some during the day and some at night.
most people travel on the motorway at 85mph+
70mph is a bullst speed limit set over many decades ago. They should concentrate on keeping morons that use their phone and are plastered on drugs off the roads instead.
hope they get away with it.

I believe the drivers were resurrected from the dead.
Pol Pot, Adolf Hitler, Stalin and Idi Amin.
They were sent back to earth by the devil due to their previous crimes being insufficiently heinous and were given one last chance to commit a crime so abhorrent they would be guaranteed live in hell forever.
Looks like they pulled it off.

Not a pointless comparison at all. Many people pull out on the autobahn without judging the closing distance well. Carmage does not ensue.k off its a pointless Irrelevant comparison with Germany where it's legal and can be anticipated that some cars will be travelling that fast.

it's worth remembering driver training is far more comprehensive in Germany. I recall (although it was quite a few years ago) that learners had to do motorway and night driving as part of their test. The testing standards in the UK are rubbish and do not prepare youngsters for the real experience
It is not as binary as that.
It is all about risk assessment. Likelihood vs severity. Adding children in to the car adds to the severity. Risk mitigation should always focus on the likelihood first and foremost. If the likelihood cannot be reduced to the point of zero, then measures should be put in place appropriate to the likelihood to reduce the severity.
So, is it more likely that a collision occurs at 2200 on a Friday on a rural A road than 1215 on a Sunday on the M74? The severity of both incidents may not be so far apart given the speed on the M74 is higher it has much more space, longer fields of view, armco, separation of opposing traffic and no trees, dry stone walls etc.
Do we leave our kids at home when we need to use rural A roads?
What do we see as an acceptable level of risk when we have the kids in the car? 50-60mph on a rural A road? Most wouldn't think twice.
We are being programmed by society to recognise only of a number and not think of the whole situation.

Well balanced and exactly my thoughts. In answer to BMWMIKES question I see it regularly up-to/around 100mph, rarely over but have seen it.It is all about risk assessment. Likelihood vs severity. Adding children in to the car adds to the severity. Risk mitigation should always focus on the likelihood first and foremost. If the likelihood cannot be reduced to the point of zero, then measures should be put in place appropriate to the likelihood to reduce the severity.
