I've never seen the A30 clear enough to get above 45mph!

he was probably thinking how to avoid all the other vehicles with drivers sticking to the 70 mph limit

Such shoddy reporting... doesn't even tell us what model he was in.
Cryptically referred to as a "MERCEDES ROAD CAR" presumably to differentiate from a McLaren single seater.

Let me guess that it wasn't a basic A class..............

A30 Northbound near Cullompton - had a youthful 106mph slip in 1990 which cost me a fine and a 28 day ban. Lesson learnt.
Never pulled over but the hire company whose car it was called me the next day telling me I'd been a naughty boy

Used to nip down to Cornwall on a regular basis when I had a '98 plate E class (W210?)..E240....there is a lovely long stretch with just a downhill gradient....wont say what I did ..but enough to say I am embarrassed now about it...
On way home had this t*t in a rover keep passing me at high speed then slowing down .....so I would pass him. As we approached the Exeter turn off he slowed down again and I passed him..only for him to put on blue lights in his grill and give me a wave, then turn off.....had to check trousers weren't brown..

........unless the designation was followed by M and G and had more cylinders than doors.

The A Class was good enough for Hakinnen and Coulthard and is certainly capable of the speed quoted.
