    Now the SuperBridge is opened, Hong Kong Drivers should be in Zhuhai Track for day / weekend event. The government should consider special bridge permit & track package, Sharing Greater Bay Area resources.

    Classic can afford car but can’t drive it. It takes special talent to roll a 430...

    Impossible to "roll". Probably tripped hitting the curb. One side digging into soft ground could do it too.

    Average speed 100 kph is less than 1/3rd of rated top speed.

    I’d hardly call 62mph (100kph) speeding, that’s barely getting going. How the **** did the idiot roll his car?

    Typical overreaction from police and local anti car scumbags..... impound the cars.... what for? Being richer than the general population? Work ****ing harder and you might achieve it too you idiots

    Speeding is relative and has as much to do with the road conditions as the vehicle. 100kph is double the speed limit (50kph) in the area where the accident took place. Speed limits arent determined randomly.
    Would you think a car going 100kph in your neighbourhood past your house is safe? I wouldn’t, regardless of whatever car it is.

    Absolutely. In fact, nearby is a 40mph limit, artificially lowered years ago, and I’d say it’s safe to travel at at least 130-140mph since there are no footpaths nor turnoffs for a nice three mile stretch. Past the house is a country lane, single track, where cars regularly exceed the SIXTY MPH limit effective, and yet thee are no crashes.

    Speed is not the dangerous thing, the idiot behind the wheel is. If you are competent, then any speed can be appropriate, even ridiculously high ones on certain roads. I certainly take advantage of the speed of my cars

    While I basically agree with your sentiment;
    Just don't tell that to the Judge.
