can you imagine if this happened in australia??

[Dr HaxZaw]

BMW driver clocked speeding at 291km/h

Can you imagine what would have happened to him if he'd done that over here?? 3 month driving ban, $2480 fine and 4 points off his licence. I have to admit i'm jelous lol

[Decicrate]

Hmmm thats $12.98 a KM for each KM over the limit, not bad value for money.

[S.T.K.E]

And behind the wheel...........

[Jesterarts]

I'm jealous that the driver was 22 and had a BMW 7 series. Obviously a fairly new one to get it upto 291kmph.

[GothicKidd]

He'll probably pay it off with his drug money

oh and..

If that happened in australia:

[STEEV888]

if i drove past any of the local highway patrol cars doing 291 km/h (not that my car ever would) i think his head would explode.
that shit just doesnt happen here.

I reckon they would just look at you, shrug their shoulders and wait for an easier target!

It's a good point really. At that speed, they'd barely have a chance to get your plate down.

[UFO]

you wouldnt get to 291km/h on our roads.... a pothole would kill you well before that .

[ashbox]

true, but i'm sure someone out there will try

[vicarious]

better still a slow driver would be in the right lane, holding up progress

And go back to the revenue raising

Probably the funniest thing that could have been said, Well done.

Oh it does happen here. Just was not caught.

haha reminds me of a story a mate told me about listening to a police scanner in sydney a few years ago...

copper gets on there- "this is a radar unit on the M4, i've just had a vehicle go past me in excess of 300kph!!!!"

dispatch- "copy that, what sort of vehicle?"

copper- "i dont know.. it was red!"

Hahahaha. Mate of mine went past a radar riding an R1 at over 300km/h on the Hume highway. No they dident get him.

[vkberlina]

any object traveling down the road at that speed usually wouldnt be caught by a persuing polise vehicle as they cars would need to go faster than 300km/hr to be able to catch them, even at 350km/hr it would take bloody ages to catch up.

I run out of revs at 255km/hr I would need atleast a 6th gear, taller diff and either more HP or a bloody lond road to even think of getting up to that speed, then I would need to pull over for fuel

im jealous he has a car that even goes that fast! far out thats nuts haha 300km/h i wouldnt be game to excedd about 170 if you hit a bump or hole you are d.e.a.d. was the radar just in a cop car? i remember an episode of top gear where they tested that theory of out-speeding a speed camera. not sure how fast they were going but it didnt work haha. just trying to keep up with the car holding a radar gun woud be hard enough.

[VL_5SPEED]

Road bikes do that all the time.

Orly.

[crazybiker]

What part of the hume highway?

[B-roca]

I can imagine it, because I read that a while ago there was a guy on the Street Commodores site who got his cammed CLubsport stolen and then the people who stole it managed to evade the police twice at speeds in excess of 250km/h.
But it mights just be my imagination because I other day I way thinking about if someone genetically a giraffe to have kangaroo legs and then I promptly drew a picture of it.

LOL!!! on a hoist or a dyno doesn't count.
