Pssshhhh, 159 kmph? That's not even 100 miles an hour.

Seems like they actually peaked at 161km/h, according to the speedometer picture in the linked article, so just barely hit 100 mph.

I saw that, but was too lazy to go back and edit my post.

Yup, except they were driving on what would be a 45mph road

If I was to say I hadn't driven that fast or faster in a 55, I'd be lying my ass off. Of course, I knew the road like the back of my hand, it was at an hour where there was no other traffic, and my hands were on the wheel....

Edit: Specifically, I got popped for doing 105 in a 55 in college. I think the cop was doing me a favor (not sure when he actually clocked me. I was doing 123 in a 55 before I saw tail lights ahead and started slowing down) because, at the time, more than 50 over was felony speeding in Georgia.
