caught doing 102 mph on the A9 in a 60 mph zone

[Bmw-Rider]

driving north on the a9 in the 60 mph zone stopped by the police just wondering what might happen ?

[ummmm]

102 I would say JJ...

[dotty.]

No I think generally it was that he didn;t necessarily seem concerned about what he was doing, more about what would happen to him now he had been caught.

[joggerjayne]

Hmm, okay.

You see, as I've mentioned before, on the A23 ...

If you're in the middle lane, which moves at a steady 90mph, or so ...

... the traffic in the outside lane is flashing past you in a blur.

Okay, these are London commuters and they probably do the same thing every day.

But part of living here is living with 1,000s of cars, every day, heading to London at considerably over 100mph.

I should add that, although I have to go to London for work, I hate London, and I have a low regard for commuters, so I'm not condoning them.

And, of course, when they get to the M25, they do the rest of their journey at about 5mph.

So, in deciding how much venom to direct at a speeder (not a mugger, or a rapist, or a drink driver ... just a speeder) do we have to take into account the location and the prevailing conditions?

[DrFilth]

is it because he is on a bike , he was doing just under 4 mph faster than the doc

Golly, the Doc wasn't hanging about !

Mind you, our London commuters would still have been whizzing past him.

[joggerjayne]

EDDIE ... of course I don't know the A9 ...

Have you seen where it is !!!!!!!!!!

[dotty.]

what is an A23?

[joggerjayne]

LOL

An "A23" is like an A9 ... but faster.

And, from the sound of it ... wider !

[Booldawg]

Out of interest and for all the mathematicians;

What percentage over the speed limit is that, and what speed would he be doing to break the same percentage in a 30 zone?

[joggerjayne]

JJ's answer sheet.

1. 145%

2. 43mph

Finiiiiished !!

[joggerjayne]

Sorry ...

1. 45% !!!

[dotty.]

70% over the limit and so 10% of 30 is 3 times by 7 is 21 so he would be doing 51 in a 30 is that right?

[dotty.]

50% more than 60 is 90 isn't it?

[joggerjayne]

No.

70% over the limit would be 119mph.

[joggerjayne]

Oh, poop ... the limit was 60, not 70.

Scrub my answers !!

[dotty.]

the limit was 60 not 70 though

[joggerjayne]

It IS 70% !!!!!!!

[Booldawg]

lol thanks JJ. See I'd say that 43 in a 30 sounds alot less shocking than 102 in 60. Even though they are the same % over

Consider that a 30 zone harbours alot more potential for danger tha a dual carriageway like the A9

[joggerjayne]

So that would equate to 51mph in a 30 zone.
