he would lose it, you try doing a U-eee and getting up to speed while the other driver is maintaining 190 which equates to 100mtres every few seconds, probably corners and other turns.

XR8's cut at 230kph. they don't like getting passed by Japanese sedans at that speed
I think it would be a court appearance so the judge would set the fine on the day

would be 50 demerit points,28 days roadside disqualification,vehicle impounded for 28 days, charged with reckless or dangerous driving & a court appearance with judge setting a fine.

A bloke I know was busted at 236 and was handed a $2500 fine which at the time was the max possible fine for speeding.
He didn't receive other sanctions due to having diplomatic immunity.

I suppose its a good thing his wasn't stopped and normally rides more slowly.

He obviously didn't get pulled over by a crappy old holden then, it would never have caught up, I heard on the scanner one day a cop was passed by a car going 190 km/hr the other direction he thought he could turn around and chase it but he strangely lost it ,he must of thought he had a fast car.

Licence suspended for 28 days on the spot. Court appearance for dangerous driving. Speeding fine would be $630 + court costs alone. Dangerous driving charge would be even more.

Mind you- given cop is stationary and you are doing 243 would you bother slowing down?.Im thinking nope you are about as screwed as you are gonna be anyway.

not necessarily,a car that goes that fast is usually a bit up market and would be well equipped in the gauges dept?

That speed is WELL in the range for many bikes.

You can do 234kph on a road with no penalty
As long as you don't get caught.
or hit something large and stationary!

What is it with the Waikato, funny water up there?

Is there a central median barrier? Were the conditions (weather, road surface, traffic) very good? Did the car have excellent suspension, tyres, brakes, steering? Did the driver have near perfect health and 20/20 vision? Did the driver have many 1000s of km of driving experience?
Then it is possible that this might not be considered 'dangerous driving'. Just saying.

In tests, expensive supercars have the least accurate gauges. Saw in a magazine once that the Lamborghini Gallardo had the least accurate speedo of any car tested by the magazine.

He was on his Triumph 675 sports bike and it was still pulling hard.
