100 on a 40mph road? Need details - did he know he was going that fast?

I have great sympathy for who ever owns it - I managed to do my front end going 2 mph in a parking lot (hit a high curb at night)! It's fixed and was ready to come home but the air bag on the passenger side began to give blinking signals so The Bue-8 is still on vacation in the shop

Sorry - brain was not in gear! (I'm old. I'm confused)

So, you mean he wiped out going that slow? I withdraw my sympathy! I was thinking he might have launched himself on a curve!

I was very disappointed in the Autobans in Germany - found out the legal 80 there was only about 60 here!

But if he was only doing Kph and still messed up - we still need details, the shame is not sufficient!!

100kph is still roughly 62mph

i think doing 100kph in a 40kph, is asking for it... just think of the obstacles and the stop signs at every 300m... unfortunate that the guy died.. but stupid he was

Sorry on what happened. Anyway, people should be aware of these consequences that can happen when street racing.
