1st time on motorway

[Darlz]

i went on the motorway yesterday for the 1st time in my 1.0i saxo

got up to 95 which isnt bad really for a 1 litre

loved it !

[AshC]

Be careful, could possibly lose your licence if you go over the speed limit too much (6 points).... just a word of warning

[Saamuell]

Retard. Edit your post before this turns into another speed thread where everyone lashes out at you which you deserve.

[MrHouston]

Epic..

[Darlz]

was only a one off was just seein wat the badboy could do haha
cheers mate

[Darlz]

Retard. Edit your post before this turns into another speed thread where everyone lashes out at you which you deserve.

why ? ?

[J222JRA]

:clapping: congratulations

[lighters]

because everyone here likes to project the image that we dont speed & break the law because our reputations are bad enough from driving a typical chav car (saxo)

Congrats anyway, (motorway driving) not the speed hehe - tbh who hasnt tested their car aslong as its relatively safe and you dont do that 24/7 i dont see a problem but not trying to start a debate laws are laws simple as ;)

As mentioned above dont forget it only takes 6 points if its within first 2 years thats 2 baldy tyres or 2 speeding cameras so be careful! HF

[MrHouston]

Also since when do 1.0's do 95mph? :P

[rey]

+ its a public forum, not many places that are worse to be bragging about breaking the law...

[stevosvts]

Also since when do 1.0's do 95mph? :P

His might not be a shed infact it may be one that is in good condition and there are other factors that need to be taken into acount why so critical all the time. It may be something simple like the speedo reading to high which is very comon in saxos. Everyone on hear is so quick to jump on people and give out coments that are not usefull or constructive....

Have a read around the site chap and get used to it. It can be a very usefull site for info on saxos and there are some sound people on hear. Oh and welcome to the site :y:

[Saamuell]

why ? ?

Its not very hard for the police to look on a forum available to any idiot and check what people are up to is it. :homme:
There was a guy a few weeks ago who posted his videos of speeding, police found the videos and information, and he was taken to court. LOL

And because of this.

I agree with what people are saying but why call the guy a retard a bit of friendly advice and all would be sorted. No need for the slagging and bitching imo.

correct tbh

agree with all of that

everyones revved their car high on here. people assume your "ragging it" when providing an engine is properly looked after etc, and your doing it on relativly safe roads, little traffic / pedestrians etc etc, its not major problem imo

theres a difference between driving fast, and driving dangerously

doesnt mean i think street racing iz cool btw, i almost always just drive within the speed limits etc etc

[steviee90]

your my hero mate... just be careful what you do,as has been said 6 points in your first two years of driving and its bye bye license

[titchster]

Congratulations on admitting to speeding on an open forum...

[GrahamB]

You must be the stig, welcome!

[Craig_B]

95 in a 1.0?
mine would never in a million years do that.
if i ever had the chance to legally do it.

[Mrphish89]

remember that the speedo is 10% out so actually it was probably doing 86ish which really isnt that impressive :)
95 feels like walking after doing 155 in my coupe turbo LEGALLY of course :)

[claff]

why is everyone so uptight about speeding on here... doing 100 odd is perfectly safe if your on a relatively empty motorway and the roads are dry. so what if it's against the law?

you could say its not a good idea to admit breaking the law on a forum but hes safe as long as he doesnt start posting evidence (videos on youtube). but i dont see why any of that should bother us anyway

well done on passing ur test anyway, i actually think its silly you dont get taught how to drive on motorways while your learning its an important skill.

[shady22]

im sure everyone keeps to 70mph.. hmm

Something might run out into the road?
Object maybe in the road and not stopping in time as your going too fast
Blowout??

its not safe if its just dry and empty...noobs:panic:

[Chr15]

If its in the way, hit it.

[AJ_SAXO]

what so you would hit a brick or bit of wood in the road would ya? thought not

[Chr15]

Never said I would in a Saxo...

lol:homme:

[Mieran]

blud dat iz wel fast!!!11

[claff]

Blowout?? as long as your tyres are rated for the speed youre going, youd fucked if you was going 70 as well. and the reason theres a 70 limit on the motorway is because of the speed differential between vehicles, not because of stuff running on the road (when was the last time you saw this happen?).

[Adz]

nah its not good, one of my mates hit a 6ft sign that had blew over on the moterway in his fiesta zetec, and its lower 45mm all round, smashed the sump off, the crack was nearly ripped out, and the altenator was cracked, had to have a new engine put init,

yeh people my say how come he didn't see the sign, because there was road works, so not very many lights, so was hard to see, so just seen it at the last min.

Congrats on your new land speed record though mate,

NOT

im glad that someone agrees:y::y:

[Adz]

i do agree, not that somthing is going to run out as much, but that somthing could be there, and not be able to see it till last min, i have seen so many crashes and after this truck came bk into work, i can see why people don't go that fast,

will fine the pic and post if asap :)

didn't get him very far did it,

Adz

[Chr15]

So what did he hit?

[Adz]

So what did he hit?

back of an articulated lorry, a tipper, so yeh very heavey, as its all metal

Adz

[Chr15]

Well I dont know the full story but from what Ive seen on the roads, he was just too close? Bikers and truckers are the worst on the road imo.

Bikers appear from nowhere and are only inches from the door doing stupid speeds.

Truckers indicate as they pull out, not before, tailgate each other (and smaller cars), try overtaking which takes several miles. 'My DAF is beta thn ur Volvo met'

i wasn't indicating he was going to fast, i was just showing the pics to make the guy think alittle :y:

Adz

[Chr15]

Ah right, OK mate.

[claff]

im sorry but if you crash into something like a massive sign sitting in the middle of the road then it obviously wasnt safe... you would see it coming from a LONG way. i never said 100mph is always OK, it depends on the road/weather conditions and if you hit a whopping great sign then those conditions obviously arent good enough

also theres no limit on the autobahn and those roads have no more accidents than ours.

completly agree

as said a million times

theres a difference between driving stupidly, and driving fast

[-E-N-Z-O-]

... also theres no limit on the autobahn and those roads have no more accidents than ours.

Although there isn't a legal limit there is an advisory limit of 80 mph and accidents are very common.

Most insurers will not pay out if you crash at a speed largely above 80 mph.

[Ben]

People on here take the 'speed' issue far too seriously.
Ever been on cliosport? There is a whole section dedicated to 'Road Driving Stories'

I don't agree with him posting it up in Newbies Section like but come off it, none of you been at 95mph before? And in a 1.0 thats a fucking achievement.

[vts-luke]

just do what you want tbh

cheers man .

im new to this site so i dnt no much about it ,
thnx 4 support .

cheers mate. apreciated

im new to this site so im nt sure where to post things and that, il soon figure it out

thnx again

technically admitting something means you did do it lol

but anyway. to keep on topic with the thread, i think its good that the site doesnt want to promote a chavvy boy racer image of people speeding all the time

but sometimes (and ive done it myself) people get too offencive towards others

lets be honest, regardless of what car you drive, who hasnt broken the speed limit? allthough illegal, you can drive fast & safe. so long as you know the roads, know your car, know your limits, and its completely empty of others.. i dont see the problem tbh

not saying i go round racing all the time. i bought the S to get into track days. but obv a lot of members on here act as if they always stick to the limit

[liam-o]

Also since when do 1.0's do 95mph? :P

theyve always done 95... on the speedo anyway...

Retard. Edit your post before this turns into another speed thread where everyone lashes out at you which you deserve.

check his post count, he cant edit. retard :homme:

grats on the motorway, everyone acts asif its a big step, but the motorways easier to drive on than normal roads (just gota check your blind spot more)

it has loads of benefits like being able to go fast and at night you can catch a few Z's if theres no one else on the road :P

[goodall3518]

SaxP welcomes another noob.

All were saying is dont go ranting and raving about speeding etc. Yes everyone speeds, and anyone who says they have never is an outright lier.

But if the site gets affiliated with street racing etc itll be closed down. and noone wants that:(

[scotland]

sure most of us have been over speed limit lets not get to up-tight about it

[J222JRA]

yeah im sure most people have been above the speed limit at some point but not everyone is clever enough to tell everyone on a public forum.

This is not a premium member talking crap, im just talking sense lol

[Viper]

i havnt read the whole slagging match, but seriously.

for a first time on a motorway, if you're pushing your car to 95, you're also pushing your ability to control the car. its just dangerous IMO

[iDaNz_VTR]

bump...

[Ashleyp]

bump...

LOL, why bump it?

is / was there any need for a bump

[Add91289]

There was a guy a few weeks ago who posted his videos of speeding, police found the videos and information, and he was taken to court. LOL

was that the lad in the posidon blue saxo that spun out then spun out again into a tree?

[nick-w-saxo]

u can sit here all day saying my VTR does 120 but without any evidence whos to say its true? unless you have filemed it then told anyone so the police can see the police have nothing to stick as to prosicue they need evidence, i post on a forem that can be viewed by anyone is not proof, anyone could have acess to my account, for all i know everyone on here has my password. im not saying itsgood to speed tho, but driving fast is not always driving dangerously.


peace out

[whitesexo]

lol who cares anyways.

[Woods]

You're an idiot. Doing 95 on a motorway with no experience :n:

[titchster]

Really? Try telling that to the guy who got prosecuted for admitting to speeding on a different forum (not that I can remember what forum it was).

[liam-o]

Really? Try telling that to the guy who got prosecuted for admitting to speeding on a different forum (not that I can remember what forum it was).

okay, this is complete SH*T, they couldnt prosecute you on an admission on a website, because you could just say you lied on the website to make youself look kool, so lets put that BS story to rest


But if the site gets affiliated with street racing etc itll be closed down. and noone wants that:(

hmm, it will be closed down? i dont think so, being sterotyped as a "boy racer" isnt against the law? the website and the owners are doing nothing illegal, and having people on the site saying they are doing things illegal (speeding etc) doesnt mean the police would try and close it down, don't start acting like hes guna get us all arrested for being a member of saxperience, if it was soooo bad like your all making out, a moderator would have deleted the thread ;)

[Darlz]

wow soo many comments . cant we all just leave it now ?

[welsh_ben]

wlecome mate, nice first post fail

[Darlz]

wlecome mate, nice first post fail

lool it had to happen some time :D

[piranhamatt]

I did 90 in my 1.1 ...
I havent been on a motorway yet

[Add91289]

private land...?^^^^^

[Ashleyp]

I did 90 in my 1.1 ...

fooking stupid
private land...?^^^^^

doubt it

[Ashleyp]

if it was a VAG forum, video link was posted too

[creamcake]

i couldnt imagine loosing my license. Thats why i dont drive stoopid

[Ashleyp]

i couldnt imagine loosing my license. Thats why i dont drive stoopid

amen brother!

[Darlz]

doing 95 on a motorway in dry conditions with VERY little traffic is hardly stupid

[Lloydie]

i agree with u darlz lol. most people on here clearly speed. They wouldt get a vtr / s, get it cammed, boddied etc and go 70 on the motorway lmao. do be serious

[Ashleyp]

doing 95 on a motorway in dry conditions with VERY little traffic is hardly stupid

agreed to a certain degree. like ive said a million times, theres a difference between driving fast, and driving stupid

but for someone whos just passed, its not the most sensible, as yes it may be empty, but nobody at 17 has any real driving experience

i agree with u darlz lol. most people on here clearly speed. They wouldt get a vtr / s, get it cammed, boddied etc and go 70 on the motorway lmao. do be serious

its called a track car

[Darlz]

motorway is practicaly a staight road .

personaly i dont thing 95 is stupid or dangerous.

thats my personal opinion

not happening again so dnt worry people :D

[Add91289]

to be fair there's alot of people out there who have gone abit quicker then they should on the M-way

[Craig_B]

is this thread like the biggest newbie thread?
:y:

[BradShifty]

Lol 1st time i went on the motorway was about 20 mins after my test lol with my mom!!!! And she wouldnt let me go over 60! minimum speed limit for the loose lol.

[Prickle]

Double clutching will take you to warp speed iirc. :y:

[PC_Plod]

i went on the motorway yesterday for the 1st time in my 1.0i saxo

got up to 95 which isnt bad really for a 1 litre

UNITS HAVE BEEN DISPATCHED TO URE LOCATION.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney during interrogation; if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you





Cyberz arrest yo FTW

[liam-o]

well ive topped out my VTR, on the motorway ofcourse, so lets test the "im guna get arrested for admitting to it" theory and see what happens. ill also provide my reg is the police need an easier time tracking me so that they can arrest me, because, lets be serious, the serious crime unit isnt going to get in touch with saxperience data centre and get the IP logs to track me down :homme:

also, a lot of people speed, and on an empty motorway, drive how you like, if you drive stupid and you in the car on your own, thats fine, because if you kill yourself its your own fault,

driving stupid and putting others in danger is different, whether its other cars or passengers in your car

i agree with the rest, you dont get a fast car to drive at the speed limit, if i wanted to do the speed limit id have gone for economy, cheap insurance and all the rest of it

i know a lot of people will jump on the bandwagon and deny they ever speed, but im pretty confident that a lot of people have and will break the speed limit

i also think that not everyone will ever agree on this, its like the 1000th seeding thread that has been bombarded, its worse than a thread about religion

[Darlz]

i didnt go 95 i was saying it to look "cool" happy nw ?

[Darlz]

and i ALWAYS stick to the speed limit :D

[Millardinho]

Congrats!
Watch your speed and other road users too!
Dont think your parents would be too happy to hear bout u taking it to the limit like that on yur frst time on the motorway lol :L

[leroy47]

well done on passing ur test anyway, i actually think its silly you dont get taught how to drive on motorways while your learning its an important skill.

if he had taken his pass plus which not alot of people do he wud of had sum experience of motorway driving! and on the plus side it lowers ur insurance!

not that im saying he should have done it cuz i did'nt lol :oops: :y:

[Fergie]

Truckers indicate as they pull out, not before, tailgate each other (and smaller cars), try overtaking which takes several miles. 'My DAF is beta thn ur Volvo met'

We do that to piss off other road users. We're big and not many people argue. :homme: Seriously though, once a truck gets up to speed, the last thing it wants to do is have to slow down. Thats why they will try and overtake a truck going 1kph slower than they are. And when you are restricted to how long you can drive, the more distance the better. Try driving a truck, its a lot LOT harder than you might think.

[dankzy]

well done m8 on passing ur test cant w8 till i do, not sure about u speeding tho because id h8 some1 crashing in to me cause there were speeding, so u gotta look from both pionts of view

[Oblivionm1ck]

Cor everyones got on a quiet motorway and felt the need to venture over 70 once, Brings back memories of the first time I went out on the motor way on my own. Didnt quite reach the heights of 95 though, Still was bloody exciting at the time! :)

[furio09]

lol remember my first time on the motorway pissed down with rain, puddles everywhere and the car kind of slid in a puddle scary times!

[Prickle]

Is this a road?
