    Well that’s bloody stupid.
    If he want to kill himself at that speed fine but what about whoever he hits?

    I’m sure they’ll be happy, as I am yet to meet anyone who doesn’t warm to Guy’s cheeky charms.

    Although, I’m not sure how happy Guy will be after all that probing….

    Yes he was. In a 40 mph area according to the link.

    Only coming down Winnats Pass on me fat bike, proper fast.

    Ok he’s been a plank. Hardly compares to being a collosal bell end with tongue cancer for years.

    In my book 180mph in a 40 zone is worse than a girly fight in a bar.

    I’d rather be slapped in the face than struck by a car travelling at 180mph.

    One erstwhile (And sadly missed) member of this parish used to boast about riding a motorbike at “speeds which would make your eyes bleed”. Couple that with all the probing, and it really doesn’t sound all that pleasant.

    What car was he in, that’s an impressive speed.

    So how long a ban should 180mph in a 40 zone carry?

    If only there was a link to a story about this event. Which maybe had a bit more detail.

    Ah well.

    I’m going to guess it was this:

    Yeah sorry, oblique reference to Clarkson, perhaps I’ll spell it out next time.

    Doesn’t he already have something like 21 points on his licence? I might well be remembering wrong, but I’m sure he was talking about it.

    Look on the bright side, if he was doing 180 in a 40, it would only be for a couple of seconds at that speed.

    Agreed. Wasn’t even worth slowing down.

    Thing is, there are 40mph zones and 40 mph zones. I can think of several stretches of dual carriageway in the uk, where a fast car or bike could relatively safely hit 180mph, yet they are 40mph zones…….

    But they’re not 180mph zones they’re 40.

    I’m pretty sure the speed limit is the same in both. Invariably, for good reason as well.

    Should maybe put little signs after the speed limit signs, like ‘no, really a 40’ or ‘just a little bit 40’

    Do you honestly think the local authority just restricted the speed on them for a laugh?

    Or do you think they looked at things like junctions, sight lines, road surface, prior accidents, crash protection, camber, drainage, likelihood of wild animals, etc etc?

    Graham, it’s OK in this case, as it’s Guy. You know? Chief, boss. Proper brew.

    Makes it totally OK to be a bell end.

    Apparently.

    Actually, there are a surprisingly high number of speed limits due to noise!
    I can’t think of any which would be 180mph if there were no nearby residences though. Maybe 60mph, but not 180mph.

    Sorry, but they are often 40mph for very poor reasons!

    Take my local towns bypass, which is a dual carriageway with Central reservation crash barriers (ie proper motorway spec) and has been 70mph for the last 17 years i have lived here.
    Last year, a woman attempted to run across the road (rather than walk 200m up the road to the pedestrian foot bridge provided). She was hit by an HGV and killed.
    As a result this stretch of road is now 40mph. (a speed incidentally, at which you will still be killed completely to death when hit by an HGV…..)

    Clutching at straws there.
