and those emergency services who have to cut there mangled bodies from the cars don't worry about them they will just think 2 less ******* on the road. ITS STUPID SPEED

 

I don't like cutting bodies out of cars....so i didn't join the emergency services. I am sure firemen knew what the job would be when they joined the brigade.
Don't like it get a different job.

Incase you didn't notice noboby crashed or died.

 

best part of this thread is all the pu$$ies who post under extra user names. excuse my language but that really is the most appropriate word!

 

and if they had would everybody be saying thats ok it was there choice . nope they would be saying exactly what i am STUPID ! how easy is it to insure a driver stopped doing 160+ ? People do it but post abot it on here

 

Well the only person i have ever insured who was caught doing over 135mph was a police officer.....so that says a lot i guess.

 

I am not trying to say that 160mph is safe, it is quite the opposite.

But most people take chances in life, it is their decision. They don't need people on here telling them they are wrong.

 

 

its a public road ffs how do they know no one else is going to get harmed ?
stopping distance please for 160? i have seen too many bodies in rtc's to think anything but STUPID. dont like comments dont post on open board

 

not all of us post day in day out some of us find reading very interesting but i have a passion against stupid driving on public roads

 

Here here

How satisfyed would you be in buying a £400 car spending abit of time and a few £100s on it and having it go from a top speed of 103 to 150-160?!

I know modding ain't for everyone, but the kid inside always wants to go quicker and look angrier

150 nova, respect for it m8y Not the greatest of cars to mod, but always cheap to insure and cheap to replace parts for

Oh, and keep the speeding to the tracks aye?!

 

Fair comment, but i presume by your responce that you have NEVER driven too fast on a public road?

 

tbh you have made a fair observation, two things about your posts will wind people up (trolling?), your holier than thou attitude and the fact that this IS a forum for (relatively ), quick cars...if you own one you would make a liar out of yourself if you said you never speed.

 

too fast on a public road NO, exceed the speed limit YES there is a subtle difference.
I would never double the national speed limit on a public road and even if i did iwouldn't post details here

 

The point is 160mph on a public road is excessive. I've speeded over the legal limit but not in excess. 160+ means longer stopping distance and maximum injury to anyone in their way.

If people want to back that type of behaviour then it's your choice but others will leave negative feedback on the subject.

 

who said i never speed ?
160 is stupid on a public road there can be no debate surely?
troll no thread that grabbed my attention after a night shift dealing with the results thats all

 

Would say un-wise rather than stupid

 

would you ? sorry STUPID for me

 

As mentioned earlier...each to their own.

I personally wouldn't take my Impreza to 160mph (wouldn't get there even if i wanted to!!!), but i appreciate others might.

If they do fair play, as long at they know what happens if they get caught/crash

 

Crash roll onto oncomming carriage way wiping out bus load of school children heading out early saturday morning to see wimbledon for example [my girls went there last weekend and left reading at 6.00 in the morning to miss the traffic] not going to convence me

 

Not likely to happen though is it?

 

Not likely to happen?

Anything is possible. At the end of the day, you may go over the legal limit but at lower speeds you may have time to react to avoid an accident. At 160mph your timing is seriously reduced.

 

So accidents don't happen at 70mph then?

Go through a central reservation at 70 and whatever you hit will get pretty f**ked up!!! At 160mph you'd probably jump it and land it a very messy pile on the hard shoulder

 

Dukes of Hazard stylee!!

 

Was thinking more Knight Rider

 

Glad you find it amuzing

 

It is called a sense of humour

Don't take yourself too seriously on this site

My point is that 160mph ISN'T safe, but i am sure you have seen more fatalities caused by speeds less than 150mph than you have above that speed.

 

Hey, it gives us something to do....much better than dealing with the drunken tossers and idiots who think an emergency ambulance will help their common cold. There's nothing like a bit of trauma

 

Ok i will step back, I do not mean offence i would just rather read about these figures on a track not a public highway.
And just to a final point IT WAS STUPID

 

 

Yes cause most people arent stupid enough to do 150+
