151K in 51 minutes in a 330d by driving like a madman.

copycat coming to grief, but without anyone else doing so. I think the drivers exclamation at the end might have referred to the standard of his own driving

I've seen the first one before. Scary, but got away with it.
The second one is priceless. Going a lot faster than sensible in what looked like suburban throughway and then overcooking it to a ludicrous degree in a bend the driver must (surely?) have known was there... hilarious.

I've not seen either of those before. I don't know how the first guy managed to drive the distance that he did without some sort of an accident.....

Let's hope he only kills himself doing this.

I suspect he only got away with it due to those around him being observant, i.e. spotting him in their mirrors and moving over. I don't think he would have been so lucky over here in the UK....

Very impressed by the, mostly, helpful & observant behaviour of the other drivers. When I used to ride like this in my duties as a courier around the S/E in the 80's, my biggest worry was when one in the line of vehicles I was passing, suddenly popped out without looking or imagining there might be another overtaking from behind. Oncoming vehicles always posed me less of a threat, as I always made sure I had my 'out' (or rather 'in') planned. The driver in the vid, to my mind, looked fairly 'safe' (within the context on 'mad' driving that is) - except the multiple carraigeway undertakes - very risky those - less so on a much narrower bike.

Me too, but they're often slow. The really impressive thing is the driver's super-quick and almost infallible flowing style. However he takes many risks.
It is very tiring driving like that. After an hour or so the chance of doing something fatally badly must increase quite a lot.
Of course Mille Miglia and Targa Florio drivers used to go for eight or ten hours on the trot, but they were professionals and the roads were either closed or at least expecting them to be going like that. Nevertheless in the end these road races were banned after accidents. One wonders whether the driver in this video often does this sort of thing. On crowded motorways it could end in floods of tears any time.

Pools of blood, twisted metal, broken glass and dismembered limbs more like.

I must admit that it took me a few moments to realise that the 'k' meant kilometres. Mach 250 would be a bit silly, though...

Talking of madmen... the cycling equivalent.
Sheer irresponsible lunacy but very exciting to watch!

Saw some similar driving on the M1 this morning, by a bloke in an E36 3-series on LT plates (Lithuania or Latvia?). He came down the J26 slip road where I was joining, then went back up onto the M1 again and proceeded to weave through traffic across three lanes at speed.
He was not as gung-ho as in that first clip, and the traffic was not as accomodating (was a bit busier than normal). By the time I'd got to my exit at J29 at a steady cruise, I'd nearly caught him up and was four cars behind him...
|
I managed 150 miles in 1 1/2 hours in France last year - about the same average speed.
Mind you, that was a (nearly) empty motorway and lots of cars were overtaking me...........
|
I watched a fair bit of the first video - driver madness. But...
If he managed the progress he did at those speeds (albeit at extreme risk to himself and others) then itsn't lane discipline to blame for the fast lance not to allow more people to drive at higher speeds? Roads were moving but driver resorted to suicidal lane swapping to make fast progress.
Afterall 151km (94 miles) in 51 minutes is not impossible on open (motorway typre) roads.

Nothing easier, without the traffic.
