Jesus Wept !
We have a thread with some goon banging on about getting up to insanse speed on a public road (where the public have a right to travel safely and not be terrorised by some idiot in a tank of a car), and then we this thread where people are uring others to drive with more care.
Ye guys really need to figure out which you are. safe or not safe. It's not safe doing 155 MPH on a public road, it's not save overtaking on bends either.
Excessive speed kills.
If you want to speed or "top out" then go to a track with other idiots and get in an accident there. Leave the public roads for public users who respect speed limits.
