why have a machine that can Double Plus the speed limit?
I have a Fast Truck
I have a Fast Snowmobile
I Like Speed.
I just know it Kills
You know that pretty much every vehicle on the road is capable of going more than double the speed limit, depending upon what the speed limit is. For example, even a little Toyota Yaris will reach 190 km/h. The problem is that there's fast vehicles, it's that sometimes people exceed speed limits on public roads and yes, sometimes by a lot but that's what we have laws for. Many people including myself like to take their performance car which are capable of reaching 300+ km/h to the track where I can drive as fast as I want, pushing the limits of the car without the fear of getting a ticket. These cars are also designed to drive on the Autobahn where a third of it has no speed limit.
The problem here isn't the car, it's the driver. Not to mention he was allegedly drunk.
Lets not punish all law abiding citizens by imposing speed limiters on vehicles.
This is what 357 km/h looks like on the Autobahn. I might have wanted to wait until the fog lifted.
