What a load of BS, if you cant tell that you've increased from 130 to 150 there's something wrong with you. *EDIT* Also, if he has such trouble focusing on both speed and the road, why wasn't he using cruise control? Last edited by MAD; 12-04-2010 at 12:00 PM. |

In SA that is classified as hooning, take your car, license and a big fine.

I would prefer that he honestly answers the question if while he was travelling that fast was he a menace to society, or was he travelling in accordance with his vehicles and the environments capabilities at the time?

Yeah just saw that it was 130 zone. 19 over isnt too bad! Why would police even patrol an area that at 130 is obviously in the middle of nowhere.

Is great driving up there with the more sensible limit. Then you get back to the border and the drudgers of 110 and 100.

Easy to make a pretty penny because they know people will go over that 130 limit.
