Last week i read in the newspapers that a man was caught for driving 420 miles an hour if i'm right it's 280 km. Well the max speed in holland is 120 km. So that's way too hard. I always drive the speed limit as far as i know. Do you do that or do you sometimes drive too hard too?

I think you are mistaken as 420 miles is about 672km on the other hand if its 280miles than that is 175km which is more realistic than 672km/h. I dont drive but my husband has his alarm set for 100km and if it goes up it beeps.

420 mph! What was he driving ? a rocket? I think you've got your calculations a bit off. 70mph is the speed limit on the interstates around here. I stick close to that when on them while lots of people do 10 to 20 mph over.

O.K. How'd that end up there? Guess he was driving so fast it blew my post up a line when he passed.

well i know it's only 280 KM well only that's way to hard but i don;t know in miles. Well he drove in a very fast car which is very rare in our country but well he lost his drivers license.That's very good idea such an alarm. But i think here people don't care they drive like beasts

Well i can imagine that people want to drive faster you know especially when a speed limit doesn't make any sense.Like in our country there are a lot of limit's that really don't make any sense.But in some cases it's better to stick to the rules because of safety for yourself and others.I don't want to kill someone by accident because i drove too hard and stuff.

i agree with you.If everyone stikc to the rules there also would be less irritations. I get irritated by those who are driving too hard or egocentric. I try everything to drive as safe as i can.
