No one watches fifth gear anyway and to be fair .....the rear wheels were still usable...
Even worse when you think that if you hit an oncoming car you have to add their speed into the equation, for arguments sake you're on a national speed limit country lane doing the speed limit (60) imagine hitting a car also sticking to the speed limit head on, coming the other way. You hit that person head on at 120MPH. Watch this ford focus hit a wall at 120MPH and I guarantee your jaw will drop as mine did.

What you need to think about is theoretically the above situation would be completely within the laws of the uk roads.
Point I'm making? The fall doesn't kill you, it's the sudden stop at the end. We have all seen speed warning infomercials on the telly. There is no need for this thread. I think majority of Bravo owners are mature family men/women.
I assume you don't watch mythbusters? They disproved that. Hitting a car coming the other way at 60mph while traveling at 60mph is = to hitting it stationary as long as they're similar mass.
I love Mythbusters, I must've missed this one. However it still makes a pretty good point even if not completely accurate, it's going to cause a lot of pain and damage (and death) and that's without "speeding" theoretically. Basically the original post is just telling everyone what we already know. Whenever we put out foot down illegally or legally there's a danger so you must do everything you can to cut the risk.I assume you don't watch mythbusters? They disproved that.

There's a time and place for everything really. It's not like people stick to 70mph on dual carriageways and motorways.
I was skint one month so I was trying to conserve fuel so was sticking to 70mph and the only thing I overtook was a couple of lorries and a caravan! Everyone else was wizzing past!
The way I see speed limits were setup when cars were absolutely crap. Drum brakes made from melted down milk bottle tops, fall to bits and shudder when they hit 70 (If you could even reach 70!).
It's about time they reviewed the limit on the motorway IMO.
