Same thing happened to me. I was driving from ph to lagos, Left home by 6 am and by 8:30 am I was leaving Benin. All the while, I never knew I was on 160 km/hr. I was looking at the upper reading of the speedometer which was in mi/hr. I only noticed that as soon as I take on the car in front of me I dust it then take on another. All the while the A/c was on.

I only notice the speedometer when I stopped by Uniben gate to buy something. E sweet sha, but as soon as I discovered, I just couldn't exceed 100 again.

Now I understand how I left bonny by 9am, got home around 12pm, pick the car and head to Owerri. Spent about 2 hrs in Owerri and by 4pm I was back home and I still went back to bonny same day.

I love Hondas. With just like #2000 fuel o. That was before the price hike.
i dey fear to fly that river.
U work for N..g?

Why would I lie about it? That it is a light car does not mean that it can't go that fast. Even on a recent trip to the East, I was averaging 160km/h - 180km/h with the same vehicle. Whether I felt comfortable with the car at such speeds is a different matter entirely.

hmmm azpekuliar

if only u knew the state of the ontisha -enugu expressway then you would join me to call the man who made that claim a liar. One can barely do a 60km/hr on that death road talkless of 220 claimed. Same applies to lagos ibadan express way which for now has good sections for such speeds but on aapproaching shagamu turns into a death trap that 100km/hr is almost impossible if u don't wanna wreck ur car. So my example pointed out a clear liar in the osha enugu case. But I get ur point. Its a case of logic .Cheers
I get you now sir...cheers

OP, you should include motorcycles too. I constantly do a 240km/hr on a Honda fireblade 2009, 140+ while driving a Toyota Camry 1999. I actually feel safer when riding than driving , really weird embarassed

Bros person no fit play with you again? I love my life... If you like install a jet engine to your car and hit 200knots... Not my problem.

Just apply caution when pressing that pedal cause you have people waiting for you @home.

Also so you know my dad's nickname in my street is James Bond...formerly owned a Toyota Corona that looks like one of those 007 movies. Retired Auto Mechanic gives free consultation. learned a lot from his driving skills so no never try me...

220kph- Autobahn, Volkswagen Passat CC
200kph- Abuja-Nassarawa, Avalon 2014
200kph Within Abuja expressway Avalon 2014
200kph- Ilorin- Ogbomosho, Avalon 2014
200kph- Abuja-Kaduna, Opel Vectra 2013
180kph- 3rd mainland bridge, Avalon 2014(speeding car bounces on that bridge at some intervals) this could be dangerous for the tire pressure which might cause tire explosion.
180kph-Lekki-Epe Exp Avalon 2014 early momo (regularly)

That guy that did 220kph on Enugu- Onistha express way....am wondering how that's even possible! That road is so bad, one can hardly do 100kph comfortably with bad portions of the road so crammed together, talkless of the frequent swapping of lanes.

I know it's dangerous to ride fast and it's safe to ride at around 120km/hr blah blah blah..
You can try riding a super bike for once in your life time... it's amazing how you can clock 240km without even feeling it especially with the helmet on. Mostly due to aerodynamics of a car compared to a motorcycle. The air resistance is lesser on a motorcycle than a car. The feel of the engine revving beneath you, the motorcycle trying to leave you behind if you don't sit on properly. Bikers know what I mean cool cool . Funny enough , the only accident I had was at a speed of 60km/hr and I believe I wasn't focus and I had my mind on something else, went into a pothole without hitting anything and I was thrown off balance cry . Was fully kitted and not even a bruise. Aboniki balm did the rest shocked

have done 240km/h on Kano-Dutse road with my BMW 528i F10 2012 model and yet it was like i was crawling...that road na die



AutoJoshNG:
I was having a chat with this lady who was so excited for being able to attain a maximum speed of 60 kph (kilometres per hour) on the highway. I could not hold back my laughter as she almost fainted when I told her I attained a maximum speed of 200 kph back in the days.

I also showed her this video shot from a friend who turbo-ed his 2013 Benz ML to 220 kph. I am sure some of us must have exceeded this speed.

What is the maximum speed you have ever attained while driving? Drop your response in the comment section.

Come and go and teh dem on this thread angry, you think this thread is the real one. It's people like you doing 40km/h on the fast lane that put motorist at risk. angry

https://www.nairaland.com/999283/fastest-speed-ever-driven-car/

"Tell me: how many okada accidents are due to overspeeding? Have you ever wondered why a Formula 1 racecar, driving at speeds of up to 350km/hr can maintain balance without crashingmost times? Even when it does crash the driver rarely suffers more than a few scratches. The simple reason is that the factors of safety have been greatly enhanced in a Formula 1 race.

He is trained to do so.

Danfuster:


The car, the road the driver all operate within a system ofimproved safety and control. Bearing that in mind I don't see anything wrong in travelling <b> 200km/hr </b>on a smooth, straight, longand unobstructed stretch of highway -IFyour engine can deliver and sustain such power.

Oya start listing the highways in any part of the world where it is legal to drive at such speed.
Danfuster:



Lastly, always remember to wear your seatbelt no matter how fast or slow you drive; always pay attention on the road."

Do you know anything about traffic laws? Oh well, nobody obeys laws in Nigeria anymore

Funny enough this is exactly what happened to me too. A guy in Kia knocked me off the bike at about 50Km/h and that is the only crash i've had. Only my wrist was bruised by my wristwatch. That crash could have been avoided if i was going faster grin grin
