Agility is the name of the game......

Actually it was 173 mph = 277km/hr

3000 ft/sec = 180,000 ft/min = 10,800,000 ft/hr = 2,045 mph = 3,272 km/hr.......

By my "rough" calculation....

At 140km/hr using 11 litres of fuel = 0.0786 litres/km

3,272km/hr using 6,010 litres of fuel = 1.837 litres/km

11 litres before the light comes on = 5.99 say 6km

3,272 km/hr = 0.909 km/second so ......

Looks like you have 6 seconds of fuel to travel 6km to beat the new speed camera...... [moto]

I am willing to risk these new speed cameras, as long as we stop paying revenue to the govt.... sorry, I mean  stop paying speeding fines.
