Police officer ticketed me for doing 127 mph on I-74 between Peoria and Galesburg, Illinois. Clear day, no traffic. I put my foot down.

Have you ever driven on a highway where the speed limit is 70 or 75?

Germany: 155 on the autobahn in an E-Class
US: 137 in my RR Sport and 124 in my wife's RX350 (both wouldn't go any faster and didn't take particularly long to get there)

Yes. Still don’t feel safe over 75. Clearly I don’t have a high tolerance for risk!

Must have been before they added in the speed bumps a few years ago.

200 km/ h used to be quite common in Europe.

That's something like 130 miles/ h, I guess.

Not a big deal with good roads and good drivers.

How many camera tickets did you get?
I have driven that stretch and all over uae and they have more traffic cameras than anywhere on earth.


None. I don’t think cameras were a thing there at the time. Also did not hit a camel. That can be really bad.


I lived in Dubai. Friend worked in AD. When she went to register her car at the beginning of the year, she found she had$20,000 in speeding tickets !!!

145 on the Audubon. It was a rental car, but we were getting smoked by other cars flying by us.

No, longer. About 20-21 years ago actually. Don't remember when exactly, but it was the summer or two before 9/11. In a GMC Typhoon SUV. I remember blasting past a guy walking a dog, and the dog jumping like 5 feet in the air from being scared, hahahaha. I've mellowed a lot since then, but my hubby still says I drive too fast!

Some of you may enjoy this article: the new Cannonball Run (New York to LA) record is 27 hours, 25 minutes. For comparison, Google maps has the normal time as 41 hours.
