At what speed does VFR become too difficult?

you clearly can't read
this is a quote from an ealier post of mine on this thread
"I find if you pay the nice chaps at CAA some money, they give you a bit of paper saying you can go faster than 250kts below FL100, but only when in receipt of a radar service. Piece of paper has 12 months validity before they want more money."

That's easy, just use your real name and stop hiding behind non de plumes!

Pushing 250 Kts is not uncommon. My mate flies for a living and when repositioning VFR they are doing just below 250 VFR below CAS (could be below 3000' for example).
Last time I was in the states I got a call from ATC...."Traffic 9 o'clock a KC10 at 5500 VFR"......

For those of mode S transponders - in UK, speed outside regulated airspace is now being watched..
Not impossible but you would need to feed the winds aloft in real time into the software. Where would the wind data come from, accurate enough to prosecute? From airliner air data computers, but they fly thousands of feet (at least) above GA traffic. GA traffic with Mode S will not in 99% of cases be radiating any Enhanced parameters.
So I think this is a windup. The only traffic that could possibly be monitored would be CAT flying in Class G.
