And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to try performing an emergency stop in a VX220 that was doing 155mph in the first place. I suspect the back end could get a bit light.

If your not confident in driving the VX do some training days. Money really well spent.

...."kids on the motorway" just yesterday I was called to a job on the M25 6 lanes in part. Kids in the central res' and playing chicken on the slip. It does happen. And it caused mayhem, we had to stop 6 lanes of traffic to investigate. It was not only was my life the cars stuck in the jam and the kids life on the line I was just waiting for the "cock" to come steaming by at 150mph and wipe us all out. I'm not exagerating it is scary out there.
Personally if I was able I would take these guys out with me for a couple of shifts..... show them what speed does on an open clear road....point out the debris that they can hit there is more than you might think. Introduce then to the BiB Firebrigade Ambo and Paremedics. Then they can make their minds up.
You may feel safe driving at these speeds but its what is left lying on road that could kill you (you may not even see what you hit that causes the puncture or if you do and swerve, well................
We get typically called to 2000 incidents every day of the year. THINK!
