Bwhahahahahaha, try to save some face while you can you f***biscuit.
Umm no, they are legal. I've pbutted police cars at these speeds and had little more than a friendly wave. The last time I drove that route I was pulling away from a police car with blue lights on, and his puny car couldn't keep pace with mine. No problems, no laws broken, in fact I had a nice chat with the bloke at a service station a little later and he was admiring my car and telling me what a jaw dropper it was to see it pull away from him faster than he could accelerate.
You need to turn your brain on, there are no hedges on motorways and oncoming traffic tends to be the other side of a barrier. If it's not, it's not just me in the crap.
Get many bystanders on motorways do we?
My wife is usually sitting beside me, or driving. She doesn't tend to go over 100mph because that's all she feels safe with. However I've been on hogh speed driving courses, and have lots of practice. It's a different style of driving to that needed for pottering around cities and it needs a good degree of observation, thought and planning. However given the sight lines your objections above are bollocks.
As Adrian said, it's perfectly possible for the pbuttenger to sleep at these speeds and she often does.
I suspect that you have never driven a car capable of cruising at these speeds nor even been driven in one. Whereas it would be foolish to try to drive like this in some Korean poobox, some cars are actually built to travel at speeds exceeding 100mph for hour after hour in complete comfort and safety. Yes, travel at high speed presents greater risks than at lower speeds, but those risks are largely controllable. You give the impression that you think that at some particular speed the driver closes his eyes and ignores what is going on outside the car. Or that mysteriously at certain speed objects start to fall from the sky, like pianos and anvils in Warner Bros. cartoons.
Run away, run away!

120mph on the A1M what's the damage 825Just a comment, nothing else. Difficult to say, without having seen the circumstances, might have been totally reckless, might have been a totally safe speed for the...
