Hi there! Stumbled on these posts by accident while checking for something else. I must confess, the race is not for the swift, but also not for the faint at heart. Our roads were not designed for racing, but circumstances do dictate carrying out some of these things. As rightly posted, ego, pride, show off are one of those things many drivers out there are pushing but that should not be the main motive for racing at high speeds, sometimes, in my opinion and experience, it is just safer to travel a little higher on the dial. The core word is safety, purpose, capability of the driver and the limits of the vehicle and the terrain. Most of us 'drivers' don't understand the limits of performance which governs our driving style - a major cause of disasters and mishaps on the highway. I personally take more care when driving the low speeds between 70 and 120km/h. Just safer that way. But when I have to make a 1000 km round trip in less than 8 hours on mostly bad terrain, you would want to push the limits at the fair sections to cover up for the bad spots. Fact: You don't need to max out always to leave other vehicles behind. Just understand the terrain and gain enough ground then maintain a confident speed. 190km/h in Nissan Primera Precisely between Rufus Giwa Poly gate, Owo and Isuada Junction way before the speed bumps were introduced. Made me decide against ever buying such car - too light for such quick speed! I did 178km/h in a 1985 BMW 316 (318 engine) 2013 190+ km/h in BMW E36 1991 (M40 Engine) Between Owo and Benin, Between Benin and Onitsha 2014/2015. Also in my company was a Mitsubishi Diamante. I respect the guy! 200 km/h in Honda Accord ('Baby Boy') V6, tokunbo (between Lagos-Ibadan-Akure) - never tried that again because of the inherent Honda wheels problem. If I ever wanna race, I'd go for something German - great stability for the money. Good when you need to keep an appointment. I once had an exam at UNIBEN for 9 am. Was exhausted the night before and did not want to travel late. Woke up just moments before 8 am the following morning from Owo and Got to exam halls before 9 am. Those are the kind of scenes where I like to have the pedals pushed to the metal - the reason they were designed to get there in the first place. Justified. Don't race because someone else is. Do because you have a 'justifiable' reason to. And that reason must include getting to destination safe and without harm to others. Save the ego in the house. Pick it when back. We did not leave home together, why must we race on the highway? 4 Likes 1 Share

But please speeding when,you're not an expert is very very risky, thank you |

I'm very sure the top speed you've ever driven you don't know. because at that time you were busy trying to leave someone else way back in your rear. it is fun the thrills but then you look down at your speedometer and see 205km/hr and you ease up on the pedal thinking "WTF? I'm 17, I'm too young to be doing this. lol. funny thing is it will happen again and again. |
