theres no way you'd get let off doing that kinda speed in a 30mph zone !!

my mum got done for speeding on a motorway (temp 50mph zone & was doing 74mph). the letter said that if you're doing 75mph in a 50 then you could lose your license depending on a court appearance. i think the same kind of margin applies to all speed limits

you would defo lose you licence for that , as for going 140 , what you had done to your saxo (standard VTS would get nowhere near 140)

you can get vts's up to that speed - i know someone on here who has been very close to that speed

EDIT: although it wasn't completely standard it wasn't far off i don't think

i dont think its a case where people are upset its just the fact that you do silly speeds, you couldv killed yourself or someone else

TBH I think you are talking crap about getting let off for doing 90 in a 30. That would not only be classed as speeding but dangerous driving surely. Anyone who does that sort of speed in a 30 zone should not be allowed on the roads anyway. And to come on here and talk about it as if its some sort of achievement, well I hope you weren't expecting a positive respone.

Exactly

I agree , theres a time and a place for driving at that speed (a dual carridgeway is not one of them).

Getting a little tired with all of the speed bragging lately?
