Na Nigeria roads una dey do all these 160km/h? I have learnt speedometer readings are nor uniform. 120km/h can be 100km in some turbo machines.

CzarChris:
I was traveling from Benin to Port Harcourt back in 2010. I was able to catch the last bus out from Benin that day. I was in the back seat. So I don't know what that speedometer was reading, but all I know was that a journey of 2hrs 45mins thereabout was shortened to barely 55mins. Everybody in that bus was too stunted to utter a word throughout the journey when we got to waterlines park in ph one of the women in the bus just sat on the ground crying profusely. Some drivers are real daredevils. Godforbid!!! I avoid that particular transport line like a plague till this day.

9icetoo:

I just dey observe the thing since.

wamide042:
Based on my own brand of car, Lexus GS 350, the speedometer is in miles, i.e when I’m driving at 100, cars on Kilometers will be around 120 or so, but I usually do 120 which also amounts to 140KM on other vehicles.

kingsolomonjnr01:

If you're not in Nigeria, what country are you?

NoToPile:


I am beyond shocked see dangerous speeds, I honestly used to think readings beyond 120 kmph on the speedometer should not be attempted at all.

ariesbull:
okay when they start winning F1 races and Le Man's grand tour then I can take those things serious


As of now...VW, BMW, BENZ etc is the right

9icetoo:

They've actually been winning Le mans.

A lot of bullshit is said about the brand but hey, who an I to preach to the trolls?

ariesbull:


F1 & Grand Prix

9icetoo:

You mentioned Le mans specifically oga.

Or should I remind you again?

Itsrm:
I've never had the confidence to go beyond 160km/hr no matter the vehicle I'm driving. I just start remembering the people I left at home.

9icetoo:

Benin to port harcourt has never been 2hr 45minutes.

Keep up the fabu though. It was interesting.

SeaTrade:

Bugatti Chiron.
Koegnissegg Regera.

RealTrump:


The can go about 300 for maybe on of two minutes. That train is constantly flirting with 300kph for 6 hours straight

nurey:
300km/h
VW phaeton
6.0L W12 engine
Abuja kaduna highway

Limiter removed, lost 2 tires after the stunt, they melted prematurely.

legallysly:


Exactly.

It has a W12 Engine.

It is quite capable of hitting 300km/h with the limiter removed.

buygala:
210km per hour.. Early 2022

2010 Accord V6..

Airport Road Abuja..

Was late for a flight to Lagos for an interview.. Some girl fvcked me to stupor, making me sleep like the dead.. Woke up barely 40 minutes to take-off

Na so Abosede for kill me


And no.. I won't try it again..anything above 140km/hr, I no dey do.

Whenever I see people doing such crazy speeds, I wonder whether they have given any thought to what might happen if the vehicle bursts a tyre at that speed, some critical suspension part like ball-joint fails, or some big animal runs into the road, or for some reason they have to do a quick swerve...

The quicker we realise that vehicles, no matter their age and how well maintained, can disastrously fail at any time, the better for us..

And the worst thing is that when tragedy befalls these people doing crazy speeds, they hardly die alone from their stupidity .. They almost always take other innocent road users, passers-by with them.

SMARTMOTORS:
210 with Benz 230E...flat boot lasted for only 40seconds though

9icetoo:

Go school, una no gree.

quinox947:
Have you taken ypur time to investigate my assertion?

9icetoo:

Investigate what exactly?
That 120km/hr in a Volkswagen beetle is different from 120km/hr in a Volkswagen phaeton?

quinox947:
No need to argue with you. But what I will tell you using your very same example is that one of those vehicle you mentioned will not make 120 actual km/ht at that same odometer readings.

massingale:
Some cars stop at 320KPH

Fremantle:

Lol bro I don learn something o, I went for a traditional wedding on Friday along airport road, fear no gree me pass 120km/h inside Sienna 09.

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.

Zane2point4:

Govt shld as a matter of fact install speed police and speed cameras there,even lagos ibandan express,thats what working countrys do! Its another means to generate income

Fremantle:

Hopefully we'll get there someday.
