On a whim a few years back, I decided to saddle up and head north along the desolate California Highway 395, all the way to the Mammoth Mountain ski area, in the Sierra Nevada range. The journey began in Ontario California, on a spring day in late May, right at the tail end of the annual ski season.

Highway 395 is a speed demon's playground, where drivers of fast cars engage their electronic police radar-detectors, and then, when the coast is clear, with no California Highway Patrol cruisers on the horizon, open up to full throttle so as to explore the world beyond 100 mph, for mile upon mile of dead-straight trajectory.

On my ski trip from Ontario California to Mammoth Mountain, I averaged 110 mph ( 180km/hr), for a terrestrial flight lasting 4 hours without letup. As night drew closer, I pulled off into the desert, and slept in my car under a star-lit sky, before waking at dawn to complete the desert run by midday the following day, just in time to commence some serious late-season snow skiing under the gondola lifts.

From Google Earth, here is a picture of the fabled Highway 395, where the question is just how long you can cruise in excess of 100 miles per hour, without losing concentration and ending up like James Dean.

My Abuja people would know that good roads japa for Abuja..

One time this years during Sallah break, i was driving 160km along airport road, I just see one car speedily overtook me. My brothers and sisters , you would understand that when a car overtake u with speed, you self would look your speedometer and try to calculate the other car speed.

I look my own 160km, I come say the guy must have been driving 190-200km/hr


Airport road,
Giri
Kubwa and Lugbe
Kwali road too

Another useless thread, that's how Una dey waste people's lives, can't believe someone moved this to the front page.. I pray for the day we will have a decent country and peg our speed limit at 70km/hr like the English. This thread is very irresponsible..

We have heard a random man brag that he has hit 180km/hr when travelling from Abuja to Port Harcourt. On these bad roads?
With
no regard for safety and human life?

Mine is 120km/h on Port Harcourt - Umuahia Road (many years ago, the road is bad now).
I was running late to a wedding.

What's the highest speed you have ever hit? Be it during car/bike race or expressway driving, tell us.

I'm glad I can find someone that can relate. Driving on that road dey sweet belle! The only problem is the 1 million police check points on the road. Its like a convention, they full there. Especially when you're closer to Benin.

200km/h on ibadan ilesha expressway just after the left turn before hitting Ile-Ife. The road is dual carriage until a particular section. Was a student and drove a 3series BMW back then.

I once hit 210km/hr on a Sunday morning along Kubwa expressway last year October, with my Toyota Camry V6 3.5L engine. As I got to Church, my compressor got burnt, because I got to that ridiculous speed with the AC on. However, that was the first and last time I did that. Though, I've been averaging 120-140km ever since then. I love speed, and don't like cars overtaking me.
Me too, when I drive, it's like I'm racing. If you overtake me, we are on a race from there. I have a pretty fast car so it gives me confidence. I hope it doesn't kill me. grin
Sometimes I'll run 180km and ask myself what if something happen now. Maybe tyres pull. Do you ever ask yourself that too? grin
