No the truth is that I was working on a UOR and had to get some 2* signatures on the RTS before they went home.
If it was that 'U' a UOR, surely the 2*s would have agreed to stay until you arrived safely, rather than you having to risk the necks of yourself and other road users by your 51.4% excess speed?
No excuse really....
And if the MT wagon was anything like the wretched things I recall from 10 years ago, I certainly wouldn't have wished to drive it at such a speed. Although I've certainly driven at over 140 mph on a motorway.....
....in Germany on a derestricted Autobahn. In a well-maintained car.
