yeah I have done 140 on numerous occasions on the motorway, overtaking trucks and what not. I'd say I do it semi-regularly even, but only for short periods of time. I would drive that speed the entire time were it legal.
and then the fuel runs out =\ xD

I'd imagine some larger capacity cars may even become more fuel efficient at higher speeds (obviously not during the overtaking).

That being said my fuel consumption live graph jumps off the scale when I accelerate... that's no fun.

160km/h on a 2 way stretch on the highway
went over the other side of the road to overtake an L plater
then all of a sudden a truck comes around the corner up ahead straight for us
while people in the back are screaming either for their lives, "PUT IT INTO 4th YOU'LL ACCELERATE FASTER" or "WATCH OUT THERE'S A FUCKING TRUCK!"

^for real?

this thread is shit.

i'm not even a shit mod and i dislike this thread.
speeding is the *dumbest* thing you could do. License is a privilege not a right.

natural selection at its finest.

that being said, i accidentally went 120 on the freeway once. shit myself when i realised.

does a race track count, or a road i could only access via going cross country for 500m?

nah, that's cool.

but speeding on roads is stupid. like... sure it's fun (i fucking love driving and fanging around, going to the skid pan, i just love driving) but... think about how you would feel the moment you hit a person. like... that's such a fucked up thought. speeding is not cool bros

the term speeding is fairly arbitrary though i mean its my job to make speed limits and roads and there are a lot of roads out there that are designed for 160km/h+ speeds. So doign 130 on them would be fine but it is also speeding excessively even though the speed can be done with ease. There are also a lot of 100 roads that have sections where the design speed is like 50 lol we call these blackspots. But yeah in general its pretty stupid but whatever

Speaking of blackspots, there is signs saying something along the lines of "another government funded blackspot".

Is someone taking the piss or something?

no it means that place has been identified as having large amounts of accidents so we are given extra funding from the federal govt to fix it
