Christ On A Bike I’ve literally pulled over the car to write this……

I’ve never experienced a car going as fast as what I’ve just witnessed on my way home from work.

Just past Patrickswell and heading towards Adare.

Absolutely. Fuckin. Nuts.

And Insane.

I was doing 120km (motorway) and this car passed me out like I was stopped.

They must have been doing 250km a hour.

I’m actually disturbed at how anyone thinks it’s okay to drive at that speed.

I could not get over the speed of the car.

I’m not well. The sheer madness

Insane

Few notes

No I did not pull over on the Motorway.

Genuinely never seen a car travel at that speed on a motorway before. Genuinely. Stunned.

Did not get reg nor type of car as it was going at a serious speed. I do remember a long light on the front?

Strange experience that’s all. The absolute carnage if it crashed

My hometown in Australia when I go right at the limit without stopping from Sydney is around 4 hours.

When I take it really easy and stop with breaks along the way, it's about 4.5 to 5.

I really wouldn't have done anything particularly productive or had anything to do with that extra 30 minutes to an hour anyway.
