What's the problem with doing 140 when no ones around?
Because if there was someone around, you won't be able to react before someone is dead.

And then there's the person who's car has broken down and is trying to get across the road to flag someone down because "there is no one around".

Moose, deer, dogs, stray hitch hikers...

tire carcasses

blowouts

equipment failure

Late night construction crews

Cars with broken tail lights...



Anyone with enough money can go 140 on an open highway. Besides there isn't really a whole lot of skill or courage involved (nor brains for that matter). Now let's see you do more then 100 through the loop at the "Glen" or around "Big Bend" at LRP. Better yet -- in traffic. That's a real man in my book.
