its a good point, and something i've thought about from time to time. the only reason i could think of incase of an emergency, rushing somewhere at 110km/h...

but what else? the other thing would be enforcing such a rule. the only way the police would know if you over-ride the 110kmh speed limiter would be to get in your car and take it upto that speed. either that or the police would need to carry their own portable dyno style roller machine
