Car Doing 150mph Is Hit With A Driving Ban | Motorway Cops: Catching Britain's Speeders | Channel 5

[@ashleythorpe7933]

Speed to the max! Haven't seen that for a while

[@thewaywardgrape3838]

Those 3 litre diesel BMWs are rediculously quick. More than enough torque for the job!

[@user-sf7kl9uh7k]

"outside lane" Nicky!!!😮

[@kNIGHTriderryder]

335d lol probably remapped aswell

[@projectbora]

Come on Channel 5, it’s an overtaking lane, you should only ever be in it when overtaking. It’s not the ‘fast lane’, it has the same speed limit as the other two lanes.

[@catonahi]

I got the accelerator up to 100 mph only once and I was bricking it..soon put the brakes on

[@simonrook5743]

Who knew a car could be banned from driving…. Decent footage, rubbish headline!

[@nomate3259]

Almost a million miles on that police car?? 😂

[@Audit-The-Auditors]

It wasn't the mileometer.

[@stevie-ray2020]

Even at 100mph the smoothest looking road-surface seems to undulate under your wheels, so at 150mph it only takes a small, unseen pothole to send you careering off into the scenery!

[@abdulb1162]

Be alright

[@nadia675123964523965]

150mph is an adequate speed for this road, police are crooked and need to sort out real crime

[@JohnDoe-bd5sz]

Where i live, you are now considered to be a "madness driver" if you do 100% over the speed limit. (Or above 200 kph / 130 mph) and not only do you lose your license and get a large fine, your car will also be seized and sold at auction. And yes it is also seized and sold, if the driver just borrowed the car or it is a leased vehicle. There have been cases where someone has had their parents or friends car seized.

@@ravenheart369 It is true here. Does not even matter if the car is a rental or leased vehicle, it will still be seized. The owner will be able to take the matter to court and try and convince a judge not to take the car, almost every time they seize the car.

Reaction distance and stopping distance at 150mph ?

RAC website states 21 metres at 70mph. So I guess its safe to double that!

@@ThePierre58 21 metres is reaction distance only, for 70mph add on another 75 metres for 96 metres total stopping distance. Using the RAC calculations at 150 mph the overall stopping distance would be 388.62 metres (roughly 1/4 of a mile).

I’m a new drive get catch doing 38 in a 30zone and reason for that I was coming out off a village it have a sign like 2 yard saying 40pm so I start building my speed just as you know I was flash doing 38mp in a 30zone what you think will happen to me as a new driver anyone knows ?

probably easy to appeal. Awareness course at most

[@thewaywardgrape3838]

That sounds like BS. Fixed cameras aren't that close to speed zone changes - for that specific reason you stated. They're position in a way that you easily have time to slow down.

thats not how it works mate lol

If the driver was doing this in America the officer would of took out his gun when approaching the vehicle.😐... Much respect to this officer for handling things calmly and professionally without a firearm. American policing can learn a lot from other countries...

[@JohnDoe-bd5sz]

Here the car would be seized and sold, and the driver would not have a license for 3 years, and would have to pay a large fine.

[@Only1199]

Difference is us police have to deal with the person they’re dealing potentially having a gun on them

[@hadj0587]

Police should focus on catching real criminals instead of picking on drivers for going 1 mile over the speed limit and I’m not referring to this. People doing 150mph should be banned from driving for life

[@akusa82]

Is that it? I've done 175mph in Germany ofcourse 🫣 I don't get how people get nervous or panic even doing 70/80mph, sitting at 150/160mph even doesn't scare me at all I just want to go faster and faster, I love that adrenaline rush.

[@daboy12s]

it depends entirely on the car, i have done speeds well in excess of this (again in Germany) and it was fine, however 75mph in my girlfriends Fiat 500 is more than fast enough!
