The majority of cars drive 10 to 20 km/h over the speed limit on that road and that includes the RTA and police. On that stretch of road I would probably find it easier to drive at the alleged speed than below 100 km/h. Think very long straights and bland scenery. Frankly I don't understand the fuss; he wasnt even doing 100 mph and one doesn't need a long memory to remember when those kind of speeds were common place.
I'm more concerned about another road safety officer in that general area, who drives with their seat far to rearward to have proper control of the car, and never cleans the inside of their cars windows to the point that visibility is severely restricted. Of course this person doesn't speed, but that doesn't make them a safe driver.
