LADY DRIVEN!

I think the funniest part was when she was walking in front of the car and
fell in the hole. You'd think she would have noticed when she drove in that
there was a hole there.

I can't quite make out the speedo calibration at that res, but those
look like euro road signs, so I'm guessing that those numbers are in
Kilometers per Hour.

I see speeds like that routinely driving into Vegas from L.A.

Assuming kph....

I saw it hit 299 (~186 mph), but much of the ride was much slower -
around 220 (~137 mph).

I've never driven into Vegas from LA, but I doubt it's typical for
people to be driving over 100mph (~161 kph).

Oh yeah. I-15: Three lanes, mostly straight and flat. They let you drive
in as damn fast as you want, with all your money in your pockets so you
can donate it to the casinos -- as opposed to paying for tickets.

On the way *out* of Vegas, however, all bets are off.

Personally, I've driven in at night around 100-120 MPH and been passed
like I was standing still.

It's obviously not North America, 'cause the road markings
separating *oncoming* traffic are white rather than yellow.

:so I'm guessing that those numbers are in
:Kilometers per Hour.

Obviously. There was a lot of riding at 250-300 kph, some of it
in the oncoming lane! That's a public road, not a race track,
and while it's true that speed doesn't kill, it really should be
used responsibly.

:I see speeds like that routinely driving into Vegas from L.A.

300 kph? On two lane twisty mountain passes? :}

Now, "Muggins" has briefly touched 180 kph in a cage on a
similar road (but much straighter section), when he was trying
to escape the clutches of a phecktard, who had at one point been
a LLB.

That rider seemed to know what he was doing in terms of handling
the bike, clearly, but it was still insane. Fun though. ;}

Jeez, how hard can it be to figure this out?

300 MPH on a bike isn't going to happen, period.
Even cars don't go *that* fast.

It therefore *HAS* to be KPH. End of debate. No
further analysis needed. No road signs, no yellow
lines, nothing.

Now how about we just fuck off with this retarded
little, um, "debate".
