Fremantle:
Car
Vehicle - Toyota Sienna

Speed - 160Km/h (100mph)

At that speed I could feel the van lift off the ground like a plane about to take off, the steering wheel became soft and the van somewhat responded more to the path of the road than me holding the steering.

This is exactly how it is when you're on such high speed... The car would feel as though it's controlling itself while responding to the direction and slight bends of the road..

Mehn, speed sweet but it's too risky... Not worth the risk at all...

I've come to realize that na where your craze stop na there another person own start, you should see the way people run along this Abuja Airport Road, if you're not disciplined enough you may just be tempted to chase somebod and the wonders those taxi drivers do with their small Golf and Mazda sef na story for another day.

Speed does not kill, it is the village people that kill, speed makes you to arrive early. Anything below 240 is a no no for me.

It's not illegal as we don't have speed limits on our highways.
Autobahn for Germany ,you get overtaken at 300kph by a mom in a station wagon taking her kids for soccer practice at rush hour.
Everywhere no go be USA.
Relax.

The poster has a point. You are more or less dead if involved in any crash on top speed in Nigeria.

You can't compare emergency response in Germany to Nigeria.
I was in Harz mountain one time when a biker had a crash on top speed. The emergency response team came to pick up the guy with a helicopter.

An F1 is not that fast on a straight line. What makes dem d king is their cornering ability. 300km/hr is possible but not in that Volkswagen

It can get up to 202 mph (323 kph) if its delimiter is removed.

So people go fast in Germany cos of emergency response?
Or the autobahn isn't isn't speed limited because lawmakers in Germany thought of emergency response? undecided

Might interest you to know there are more fatal crashes in North America than Germany.
Germans have proven time and again that they're just not into bullshit,

my experience was 2012 I was traveling from Lagos to Benin. the bus I enter was driving at 200,i sat in the front sit I called the driver attention to it.
the driver said guy this is nt the danfo u enter in Lagos this is jet on land just relax enjoy urself.
wen we got to ijebu ode I could not bear it because the road was bad I knew if this man do not reduce his speed that may be the end for all of us in the bus. I have to lie to the driver that I forgot something in Lagos am going back to Lagos
the rest passager were like do u want to go back home what about the money u paid Omo I forgo it drop off board another bus along to my destination the rest passager seems nt to care they are even enjoying the speed

Speed kills.

Besides, you need to know your car very well to engage in speeding otherwise you should be singing Lord I am coming home.

I had an experience when in 1999 I was coming from PHC to Lagos on a visit and I choose to drive my new Honda Accord called baby boy. Just after Benin city one fairly old Honda Accord older model to my car passed me at my cruising speed of 140 kmh like as if I was trekking and their car was running. I had to check my speedometer to confirm my 140 kmh was reading. I then decided to check the speed of the car that passed me by speeding up.

I finally levelled with it at 220 kmh and I decided to stay with the other car, but fuel consumption equally changed. We ran like that till Shagamu town junction when the other car turned in for additional fuels which did too. Inside the filling station the other driver and myself greeted each other but I had to warn him against the high speeding we just did.

I did not follow him to enter Lagos at that speed.

Though the car was very stable and comfortable at the speeding experience I don't do such speed up again till date.

.

My uncle once told me that anything above 125 km/hr is death sentence.

If it was, speedometer readings in cars should have stopped at 125km/hr.

The actual death sentence is when people drive 10 and above year old cars in the same manner as one who drives a 2 or 3 year old car will do, and expect it to perform the same way the latter would perform.

Mine was the day I boarded a bus from Lagos to Owerri. I sat at the front seat number two ( the VIP position) at a point when we approached Benni bypass, this driver started doing 165km/hr.

My uncle once told me that anything above 125 km/hr is death sentence.

I had to point the speedometer for the driver to see, and he was laughed it off and told me to forget that thing.

Another experience was when talking a car to Lagos from Owerri.

The driver I paid to drive me was experienced. We arrived that same Benin, and this guy did 210 km/h, it was like the fuel was zapping and the exhaust sound was light.

Dem no born any other car make e pass us, but I was surprised to see a man in his Hyundai passed us.

I guess that one was doing about 240 km/h.

I had to tell him to reduce and not cross 120km/h and above.

Share your experience and advise to people who would want to do that one day.

I advise drivers to lower their speed. Speed kills.

The first one happened in 2016, while my second experience was in 2019.

abeg which Hyundai do 240 and pass una? Very funny story as you didn't mention the model of either of the cars.

if you claim you did it on Nigerian road, you are lying. We don't have any road in Nigeria that can accommodate such speed.
