Ikenna351: This thread is doing more harm than good. The more you people post these images, the more some members, especially kids and teenagers that visit this section, will go out to do the same to prove meaningless point. Not everyone will survive it to come back and post their images or tell their stories.

My concern is the bad example this thread is teaching the younger ones. A lot of teenagers have wrecked their parents car, not just to show off, but to prove a point. And that's what this thread is doing: Encouraging them.

Funny thing is, there is no big deal with the speed on images people are posting here. Even the tiny Kia Picanto can attain these speeds. What matters is not the speed, but ability of the car and the driver to handle the speed been pushed at.

Left to me, this thread shouldn't have existed.

I think you're very very wrong.

gmyguy: better don't kee urself
You go just snap speedo enta heaven

Just download an android app called Ulysse speedometer. It will record your maximum speed and so on, and you don't have to risk everybody's life with this 'selfless' venture

why are you worried? what percentage do you think teenage readers of this thread will add to the already high accident rates in Nigeria. most accidents fatal or not are caused by adults and not teenagers. out of 2568 accidents recorded by FRSC in the year 2013, how many do you think were caused by teens and how many do you think will be caused by teens that have been influenced by this thread on Nairaland.
Am not encouraging over speeding in stable or unstable cars nor with skilled or unskilled drivers. Veiw a thread more like a medium people exchange views and talk to each other simple. The topic or thread is only what attracts these people to talk, we both know that there are many threads on naira land that are dead on arrival others are oversubscribed, all we can do is always hint on the dangers associated with excessive speeding and probably show some pics like this one below to balance the sensational topic.

gmyguy: sticker you see when trying to overtake me

king406: my oga u better remove that sticker, u are using a honda accord not a mercedes benz so passing u is not a big deal. Not even a V6 but an I4??

gmyguy: LOL...for you...my sticker will be...Do you follow Jesus this close

Ikenna351:

Of course, I wouldn't expect you to understand if truly you are a female. Simply because you were never a male teenager and wouldn't know what thread like this would do on them.

king406: wish I caught u on that road man, I use that road everyday! U for see real speed

Specialist900: Bros no o. Go your own o

skj1377:

Abeg make una no make me laf!!!

Oga i have a teenage son, so cut the preaching. While you might think you have a point, that point is quite infinitesimal. It's simply a fun thread where people post how fast they've driven, for some it could be 80km/h. For others it could be 240km/h.
And we exchange thoughts and views on the cars driven, their balance & stability on high speeds etc
Stop making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Have a nice day.

king406: lool, hope I catch u on the road one day. Are u living in abuja??

gmyguy:
Abuja, no you guys drive too roughly there. My specialty is weaving tactfully between traffic. and i don't disobey traffic lights. The few days i spent in abuja 3 years ago highlighted reckless driving habits of the capital folks. I don't think most of you can drive for shit

king406: yes it can do 200kmph and I'm always being confused by speedometers that read only 180kmph > for example a toyota sienna with a 3.3 v6 and an infiniti qx4 with 3.5 v6 speedo reads on 180kmph, and then an I4 1998 accord will get 240kmph on its speedo, how's that possible? I hate the confusion speedometers cause >

abatically:

I wonder what the confusion is. Suv's, trucks and buses have high rollover rate. So manufacturxers limit their speed. A sedan with a 3.5L v6 will outrun an SUV with the same engine. You can't expect a Toyota sienna to outrun an i4 Honda accord. The sienna is taller and heavier. With the exception of few SUV 's like range rover sport, Porsche cayenne, Audi q7 etc that can go beyond 220km/hr, u can hardly see a normal SUV that can go that fast.

I do not even wish to drive any SUV fast, even though it has 260km/h on the dash,
a good amount torque an SUV has is what I appreciate...this means I can pull good amount of weight easily.

gmyguy: fastest speed you have ever driven. Doesn't mean we go about driving 140 all the time. That's not even possible

CityNG:

I drove for 3 hours at 150mph straight in my BMW 528i once.

Let's just say that gas mileage suffered greatly.

Siena: NG, I love the yellow Moke. How did you find the driving experience?
