. Theres no problem with that speed as long as the conditions allow (ie: dry, clear stretch, can see far enough ahead) and your car is capable of it [quote="AndyMR2NI"]U think this is a laughing matter son? When you have had 1 cousin killed and 1 permanently brain damaged by a drunk driver doing 100+mph, it kinda changes your views on speeding! 
. but this lad never said he was drunk did he ? I didn't hear him even say he was doing a 140mph as you originally quoted either.. so, sad as i am for your loss, and anyone elses loss to a drunk driver, your splitting hairs and making yourself out to be a bigger righteous w**ker than you already are.. so think a little less than 1 dimensional and don't dare judge everyone who speeds by the actions of a drunk !. !!!but hey, if you don't have a car that can do it, I suppose it would sound like a fairytale... so hence it must be eh.. :wink:[/b wrote:

(i was on the inside) thought was was gonna get it and he just went past me as i got off.(still not as bad as not seeing a copper)... ..... its gone kinda serious..... like i said; think of it as a warning from above.... next time (if the officers had nothing more serious to attend to) you may not be as lucky!.... 
Speeding is wrong, we all know it, but we all do it. As long as the car and the driver are in a fit state to do it, it's a clear day with good visibility, little traffic and mostly, the appropriate road for it, then what the hell. Just don't be stupid about it.

Drink drivers are a different matter, should all be shot without trial.
