I don't know what the fuss is all about. I'm regularily driving long distances over 200km/h, environmental and technical conditions permitting.
It is no rare occurence that I can drive 100km without the speedo needle going under 210km/h, despite the road having only two lanes per direction.
No one died, no injuries, no accidents, and no brown trouser moments at all.
The safety bottleneck is certainly not speed, but inappropriate speed, which jealous lowest-common-denominator-types don't realise.

Wasnt me though!
Trust them to trot out someone who was "killed by a speeding driver"![]()
You know what this means ghost, no more "enthusiastic" motoring past the ideford/luton/chudleigh dip. I can't think of anywhere else he could have done it.
Knowing the road.......ahem..........I'm surprised someone else hasn't been clocked higher

I have seen speed camera signs put up there recently but have never seen or dectected (via jammer) a van.
Im wondering whether its the A380 bypass, long stretch of DC before you get to the Paignton left turn...
Could get up to speed almost but yes its more likely it is the dip of dispair
Bus stop or on the grass do you think? That bus stop at the bottom going toward Torquay seems like a prime bacon point?

"Nothing is worth the risk of killing somebody at great speed."
But killing them slowly would be alright?
HOW DARE YOU CHALLENGE THE WORDS OF aurea billings....
whoever that is...
So presumably areola billings (how much does she charge for each?) never does anything that risks death on her or anybody elses part; walks, drives, cooks, plugs in an iron, mows the lawn, inhales near a french man.
Seems to me that there is too much space these days in the media and that the need for something to be said is heavily outweighed by the need to fill some column inches or web space (my humble rambling excepted obviously). If they have nothing more interesting or useful to say then bring on the skateboarding duck.
If they are only considering charging the accused with 'dangerous driving' then presumably driving at less than 145mph is not 'dangerous' so why is it an offence?
