160km is awesome. Tried it once along that benin highway one PeaceMass driver puled up in my front without observing his side mirror. My heart skipped. Almost had a mad crash

Up North the roads are relatively good, and a person can go as fast as the car can go.
I Currently use a 2013 Corolla, and I was able to push it up to 180km/hr, but that was at nigh on Abuja Airport-City gate road. In the day time you can barely go beyond 140km/hr on that route.
I previously used a Nissan Altima, and my usual speed on the Kaduna-Abuja express way was 180-200km/hr. That was when the roads were still good sha.
I used to think I was a speed freak till I went on a trip with a military man that was doing 220-240km/hr with a Benz E350 on Zaria-Kano express way. Truth be told my heart was in my mouth throughout the trip.

120 - 160 km/h. But it is not usually sustained.

Not encouraging anybody o. No com and beat me for house o.

I once got to 210km on Third mainland bridge at 1am with a 2009 Corolla. Then 185km on Benin Asaba road with a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0Fsi.

More recently 180km on Benin lagos road with a 2010 Honda CR-V.

Please drive at a speed you can control.

I never said it is a world class highway, but it's not bad either. I've also traveled internationally and I know how world class highway looks like.

Re: How Many Km/hr Do You Drive On A Free Highway by Localamos(m): 7:46am On Aug 23, 2017
In December 2015, I did 180km/hr along Kaduna-Abuja express way. But it was not worth it because all the cars I dusted came to meet me at the traffic hold up at Suleman (around that Zuma rock side). Moreover, the risk of an accident is considerably less when you are not speeding!

Since then, I've been doing not more than 120 at an extremely free and smooth road. For less freer roads, I could go as low as 80 sef.
