Getting caught driving/riding over 100mph in UK is very likely to result in an automatic driving ban. For someone like myself who has no practical alternative other than driving myself to and from work, on an average speed camera infested route (average speed max 50 mph), the published top speed of any vehicle becomes merely academic.
