110 mph in a 30

have you taken any care at all to read this thread.

Ireland for example, has a crushing tax system that means that the M3 can cost €1,491 a year to tax.

£1400 a year !!! and we complain about paying £400 a year road tax. See above about the first registration fee in Denmark. Its 180 % of the cars pruchase price. 180 % !!!

In other parts of europe, the entire motorway network is entirely toll operated, meaning that not only do you have to pay road tax, but you have to pay to use the motorways on top as well.

Before saying that its "BS" do some reasearch first.
 
quite.
Jez's S430 in belgium for example would have an annual road tax of €2000, and he would have had to pay anywhere from €2000 to €5000 registration tax depending on the age..
a BMW M3 costs €1790 in annual road tax, plus €5000 for your number plates..
i suspect this is a little bit more than what he had to pay in the UK?

so perhaps you should stop preaching your BS deuce?
 
Hmmm....i wonder whether those who don't completely condemn such wreckless actions as doing 110mph in a 30mph zone are in the 20-26 year age group. You know the ones, the idiot boy racers who think they are the worlds best drivers and know better than anyone else?
I bet their IQ is even lower than their ages.
There will of course be those in the same age group who DO have some brains and shudder at the absurdity of such a speed on such a road.
Do the boy racers know the breaking distance when travelling at 110mph? Should anything, be it an animal, object or whatever suddenly get in the way?!
I'll bet not a single one of you are anywhere near as good a driver as you believe you are. If you were, you wouldn't do such stupid speeds.
The 'risks' as some yuper put it earlier, are presented WHEN you decide to break the law and exceed the legal limit. Its not just the risk to you though is it, think of all the other people who's lives you put in danger when you drive like tw**s!!!
I celebrated my friends birthday on 9th Feb. Pity he's not alive to celebrate too, His death was the result of someone elses 'risk'!
If you're dumb enough to think that you know better than those that put speed restrictions in place, oh and because you have a bigger, louder exhaust, then you're far too dumb to be even driving.....so get off the road retards!

It was a logical extension to your statement. Why suggest that one particular speed could never be safe, unless you believed another speed could be? If someone said to you "Dark chocolate is horrible", would you believe from that statement that they disliked all varieties of chocolate?

BTW was that "Don't be a moron" or "Don't call me a moron"?

Don't come in motors much then?
Why 20-26? Surely 17/18 year olds are the worst for it?
Who puts the speed restrictions in place? Where is the scientific testing and evidence behind these speed limits? There is ALWAYS a risk in driving any motor vehicle, for example there is less risk at 50mph than at 70mph, should we reduce the speed limit on the motorway to 50mph?
I am sorry for your loss, but everyone can not be tarred with the same brush.
 
It was "dont be a moron"

Im saying no speed is safe all the time.

At 5mph you could be next to a cliff (:p)

At 30 you could be near a school and children could run out.

etc. etc.

All i said was 110 is never safe. Didnt mention 30. Your "logical extention" is a load of ********.
 
if you have a decent car and average or above driving ability then 110 is perfectly safe in the right road conditions, not legal, but safe

Resorting to childish insults isn't going to help you dig your way out of this one.

You stated that "110mph is never perfectly safe", implying that some other speed is perfectly safe, I simply used 30mph as an example. What speed were you comparing 110mph to?

Did you know that trains and aircraft (legally) exceed 110mph by quite large margins every day? How do they manage this without killing everyone on board if 110mph is never safe?
 
OK i've also been on this road many times, and with regards to all the comments on the road being uneaven... Well... it does rise and fall, but... if it was closed off to the public and I was allowed to, i'd have no qualms about going down there at 110mph. I've seen plenty young lads in high powered cars tear up and down that road in the early hours.
Half way along that road (where the leisure centre etc is) is 15mph zone, leading into a 30mph.. if it wasnt for the fact that it was a well used area for pedestrians then it wouldnt be a 30, it'd prolly be a 40 or greater. the road is very wide, you could easily have 2 lanes flowing in either diection most of the way, assuming there weren't any parked cars.
So... i think the road is a little irelevant, the fact that its a 30mph zone is.

Take it you think you're above average then chap?

The thing is though that an economist wanted to prove that humans were naturally optimistic. I forget the name of the paper but I'm sure with some google scholar searching you can dig it out if you want. He asked a simple question to 1000's of people:

'Do you feel you are an above average driver?'

The expected outcome to this, logically, would be 50%, since 50% must be above average and 50% below.

The actual result was something in excess of 90% of people felt they were above average.

Most people who think they are good drivers are actually ****.
 
If it was a 60 late ar the right time of day. I mean ive hit the end of my gearing in a 40 that used to be a 60 but that was 2 in the morning around the outside of a buissiness estate.

But speeding in a 30 is not on no matter what time of day it is.
 
Speeding seems to be a touchy subject on here :p

I have done 125 on the M58 at night, I had to get home very quickly. It did not in the slightest bit feel unsafe, it was a dry night and there was **** all on the road with me.

My highest in a 30 was in Crosby, near Liverpool, a fairly built up area. Something I did obviously annoyed some chavs in an Astra 1.6 ( :p ) so they proceeded to chase me round at silly o clock in the morning, an experience that was somewhat enlightening. We didn't get to 110, but touched 70 at one point. They didn't keep up, and thanks to a dodgy turbo (I think) I kept covering them in thick black smoke as I out-accelerated them. Damn chavs :D

This didn't even feel a slight bit unsafe, but I can imagine in a Corsa or Fiesta it would have been pretty scary.
