I live and grew up in the area - there are sections of Perth Rd that you can easily and safely drive that speed. Not sure exactly where he got popped.

The local media is all up in arms over this and I find it mildly funny and annoying at the same time.

What is more dangerous

Professional Race Car Driver in a High performance sports car doing 128 mph in a 45 or

a fully loaded semi truck being driven in traffic by a tired driver doing his best to get somewhere as fast as he can to earn his money surrounded by a bunch of idiots that are more concerned about
1.texting
2.talking on their cell phones
3.shaving
4.reading a book,magazine,newspaper
5.playing with their damn iPads
6.watching porn on their 21 inch dash mounted TV's

Then of course you have your 16 y/o kids given the keys to 6000+ pound full size SUV's that believe that they are those professional race car drivers.

According to NHSTA in 2009 there where 33,808 people died in traffic accidents - How many where caused by race car drivers doing well in excess of the posted limit

Personally I can not excuse what he did but it was not the end of the world and he should loose his ticket to drive for a while and go on about his life.

Oh and that list above have been observed this month one or more times on local roads by myself and all have been speeding.
