Can't believe you think it's funny to do 130 MPH on the motorway, never mind the fact you think it's funny you may get a ban.
People lives are at risk when using motorways, one mistake is all it takes.
Hi, I've done 170mph on the motorway, it's big and it's clever.

TBF you can make a deadly mistake at 70 on a motorway. If anything i find i concentrate more when im speeding.

It could have been, I know it was a black lorry but it had a Flatbed with Paper Bales on it (recycled).
Didn't really notice the name because I only saw the colour in my rear view mirror when I passed it later on in a 70zone

Seriously, anyone who has driven a 12v extensively (namely Fonz) will tell you that you need to keep your revs up to maintain any sort of speed.
That's all I meant.
too fucking true - used to rag the tits off mine to get anywhere.
you NEED a bigger engine deano

I love how people feel its duty to come online and say speeding is dangerous just to gain kudo points.
It isnt particually dangerous, its just there is more of a risk. Just because it isnt the law in germany on some sections of the autobahns, people dont see it as dangerous, but soon as you do it over hear.... Your still driving in a car, still going quick.
People speed - end 
and i dont think ben bought a focus st to do 70 mph. He would of had a diesel fiesta

Oh no, the coach had no limiter, EVERYONE STAY INSIDE, there is a dangerous coach on the loose!!!
Who care's? Look at the bikes out there, you can have a 1000cc bike at 17 aslong as its restricted to ???bhp? How many out there are -de-restricted, think theres more in life than to worry about a fucking coach with no re-stricter

I'm being sarcastic, in a sense.
I thought coaches were limited to 56mph like lorries. And when this come by me when I was doing at least 60mph, I was just shocked.
I can understand some shitter old private coach which someone drives for a joke taking the limiter off, but not a National Express one. Coaches are limited for a reason, and I just wondered how this come by me. But 62mph limit explains it.
I wouldn't have reported it or anything, I was just a bit puzzled.

flol no.
But all I'm getting at is coaches & lorries aren't limited for shits and giggles, it's for a safety reason.
Plus National Express have been in the news for their drivers being drunk etc so I thought having their coaches unlimited wouldn't surprised me.

I can see your argument, however, a lorry will do alot more damage if it's speeding than a bike. Generally a biker is endangering himself the most when it comes to speeding. A lorry driver will be tucked up in his cabin and is the least likely to get injured.
