      Yes, the road has changed from 45 to 30, so naturally we’ll go…checks notes…120.

        Yeah not saying it was an appropriate speed for the previous area 😅 (except if the road was closed and competing in a wrc rally or something) just maybe explains how it was physically possible.

          There’s a road near me that clearly should be a 50 but they can’t be arsed so they’ve just slapped to 30 limit on it. It’s long straight has no hills has two lanes and a central reservation, it’s a perfectly safe road.

          But at 150 mph that road would be a death sentence, because it has a very very slight curvature to it, so slight that you barely even notice that you are going around the corner your brain just automatically has you turn the steering wheel ever so slightly. At 150 though the motion would probably destabilize the car.
