how come people drive like 100mph on the motorway?

They probably have enough money not to be bothered by a ticket.

I hear people say they drove 100+ mph on the motorway occasionally. I dont understand how they do it? are there no speed cameras on certain parts of the motorways? or are there certain regions where these people easily get away with that sh*t?

its not the tickets or the money loss. its the new-ish drivers that do it too and they are the easiest to have the license revoked and 6 points you're done. lol I want to know how they do it where they do it. I dont want to keep at 70mph on the speedo when my satnav is showing 67mph thinking that I will get caught by a camera or pulled over and points if there is so much lenience.

Speedometers lie to us, display the speed 3mph more than you are going.

Britain has one of the lowest speed limits in the world can't blame people for travelling 110 mph in a straight line

I think it's very dangerous. I think some people probably do it because they simply don't grasp the risks and trust their car and driving skills too much - yeah, probably some don't have points yet as well, but maybe many of them do, they just don't assess risk properly.

When it's dry, 100mph is perfectly safe on a lot of British motorway. There's often plenty of visibility, wide lanes, and outside of rush hour, not much traffic. It's people who don't follow proper lane discipline or use mirrors that are the dangerous drivers.

I'm not suggesting it's okay to drive everywhere at 100mph. Most people are too easily distracted to be able to do that, and many would do it at inappropriate times. I just don't like when people say speed alone is dangerous when it's usually another factor that causes accidents.

As far as I know they are only a few places on the motorway network where average speed cameras exist and cameras usually enforce the 50 mph speed limit when roadworks are being done. As for normal speed cameras there are none. I have been in a car at 110 mph indicated on the speedo when it was clear and not much traffic and I did not feel unsafe. I think the main consideration is if a car pull out in front of you into your lane, do you have enough time to slow down?

where was this? I think if the road is clear with great visibility then there is no danger of a car pulling out in front of you and if there are cars around you I don't think anyone should do more than the other cars are doing.

On a motorway with no traffic in front. I mentioned the pulling out thing because I talked to someone at a motorcycle show about speeding etc and he said the danger is people going into your lane to overtake a slower car when you are travelling at high speeds, im not sure why he said this?
