Probably not much different than these Instagram influencers who believe they are "working hard" to get where they are in riches...but have nothing but a vapid existence otherwise.

But all based on hearsay have no personal direct connection to anyone involved....but seemingly everyone is a friend of a friend of this oke now.

Like that new "instagram famer/influencer" Aussie with his billionaire daddy who thinks he worked so hard to get where he is at right now.

Drown all of them.

Facebook profile says he was MD at Pacific Seafood - maybe a recent promotion.

That would be a weird meeting when he needs to make sure the shellfish shipments are within quality controls requiring halaal and all. Never heard of halaal shellfish. Yikes!

Of course it makes no sense.. because its bullshyte..

There is this assumption that the speedo sticks at the speed you were doing when you have an accident which i think comes from Hollywood and not reality.

That's what I've been saying all along when you read the actual law and not the "keep left, pass right" slogan.

Yeah I am usually quick to yell out of the car window "keep left pass right idiot" when a slow moving car is hogging a right lane haha

The needles in the dash are powered by a little electric motor. If the power is cut, as it automatically is in an accident, there is no juice for the needle to go back to zero. And because it is attached to that motor, it won’t move forwards or backwards.

Jesus, if he did 312KM/hr then that Bike that went by had to do over 400KM/hr which just makes no sense. O_0

Bikes are limited to 299 (well mine was)

The bike however gets to 299 way quicker than a car. The BMW may have been reeling him in at that point.

Well there is still power since the LCD with the speed is on......

Bike we're limited, not really anymore. My previous bike (2017 S1000RR) can do 325. Not that I ever got close to that.
Stomach and height got in the way of aerodynamics.

The 'top' current superbikes can all push past 320.

Plenty of youtube videos that shows cars are faster than bikes, from 0 all the way to 400+
But those are not standard cars, vuur warm gemaak natuurlik!
