While 160 odd in an 80 zone is reasonably bad, the fact that there were no other cars on the road, it is probably not as bad as the guy at the end of the story:
In other news, a 28-year-old man from Mayfield in the Hunter Valley, driving a white Hyundai Excel, was pulled over by police in a routine stop and was allegedly found to have been banned from driving until 2073 due to previous charges.

Ye funny that, even though the BMW was behind the XR8 and would have been an easier target.
Why?? Just incase it was the Faber Castell heir (little pr!@k) off joy riding in another one of his dads cars, got off last time with the excuse that a BMW is designed for those speeds, mind you he didn't even have his licence at the time.

That road isn't to bad for speed but 160ish defiantly pushing it. I have had two separate emails from friends asking if that was me who got caught (same vehicle, location and age), they must think I’m really silly lol.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.... what a crack up - the last guy banned from driving until 2073. I'm tippin' that if he he 28 now and and created so much havoc not be be allowed to drive for another 66 years, I doubt very much that he will be alive then anyway...

It happened at the Mooney Mooney bridge dipper on the f3 freeway on the downhill run. An unmarked highway patrol Magna got him on the other side - the actual speed they nicked him for was what he pulled off on the downhill run, and although he was speeding, he wasnt doing 180km/h plus the entire length of the f3 the way the media lets you believe. |

Geez 2073, oh well might as well save up and buy an electric wheel chair it's the only thing he'll be driving for the rest of his life.
On another note here's another one 100km's over the limit. http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/...104974849.html
