a- its not on a bike.
b- its in uk (m6 morning commute).
c- can someone tell me what will ACTUALLY happen as oppose to having a rant about speeding.
d- i bet i am safer at 145+ than 99% of people who sit at 85, tailgating, middle lane hogging, chatting away going through the motions everyday and not really concentrating...

Large fine, instant ban for a couple of weeks (or more depending on the judge) but the real killer is your insurance will rocket up, a lot of companies won't offer you cover for a fast vehicle, do it again and you'll be even worse off, still fun while it lasts I suppose ;o)

Put simply 3 things would definately happen:
1) You would have to appear in front of the magistrates as the offence cannot be dealt with by fixed penalty.
2) You would receive an automatic ban usually at least 6 months and your licence endorsed (5 or 6 pts probably) + fine
3) Your car would be removed by a Duty Garage from the motorway at a cost of at least £105 + storage - remember if you are banned and therefore have no insurance you can't drive your car away from the garage.
In short drop your speed - i am a motorway worker and I won't be able to move fast enough to get of your way on foot from lane 3

With any luck they'll lock you up and take your licence away for a good long while. I t 's quite likely that they actually will do just that

40mph over the speed limit is a felony offence and can carry criminal charges like reckless endagerment. slow down till all the elections are over and you will proably just get a fine. you don't need a judge or sheirff useing your case to prove why he should be reelectd

A Porsche 911 turbo would flash you to move over to let him past.

At best you will be banned for speeding and/or dangerous driving.
At worst you will kill yourself, or will get manslaughter/life for causing an accident.
Slow down. It's better to be late in this life then early into the next one...

when you hit something at 145 mph you will look like something out of a ketchup bottle...so this question will be irrelevant...just hope your the only one to get it and not some innocent in the wrong place at the wrong time

If you get caught it will probably be for causing a pile up and killing some innocent person.
So life inside should be about right!
