Lucky so and so, I got a 60 day ban for 102 mph
I am not sure what is specific about 56 days. From what I read back at the time, if the ban is 56 days or more then you have to submit your license (which I had to do). I don't know what other relevance's there may be.
Do you mean if it's less than 56 days? I know with 56 days I had to re-apply and pay for a new license at the end of the ban.
Yeah sorry, I just rounded up to 60 days, you are right 56+ needs a D27 sent off etc..
my 102mph was a 56 day ban, I always just described it as a 2 month ban, which was pretty much what it was
Absolute nonsense.
A lot of the derestricted autobahn is two lanes, bumpy, twisty and a hell of fun to drive flat-out on.
However, they are widening a lot of the older 2-lane autobahns.
Conversely, there are lots and lots of 3-4 lane autobahn that have both fixed and variable limits ranging from 90-130km/h.
3-lane autobahn around Bremen at 3am: 100km/h.
You can't make blanket statements like that about the autobahn because Germany has over 8,000 miles of it.
On the whole, yes, but it is getting worse. You still get middle-lane hogged and dawdlers as you would anywhere else, old codgers pulling out in front of you and confused foreigners.
However, the difference is that, on the whole, people are expecting very fast-moving traffic on the Autobahn. Doris in the middle lane of the M1, however, is not.
Lucky so and so, I got a 60 day ban and a £700 fine for 102 mph
how bad was your insurance after that?

I know how they look but there's no r-type civic
Yea they won't need cameras and speed humps soon. The potholes will do the job for free :/

Motorway potholes are filled in almost immediately due to the obvious safety issues on high speed roads.
What you don't think a modded Leon Cupra is capable of 154
most hot hatches have a top speed of around 150-155mph.What you don't think a modded Leon Cupra is capable of 154
yes but is that speed safe in a Leon Cupra or any of them............because i'm not sure, after all it aint no Ferrari is it ?????
this totally depends on the tyres... most will have no issues sustaining that speed/heat.
