not condoning it wholly but one thing that isn't mentioned about the speeding is what time/conditions etc. Not knowing this road I can't comment fully and yes its illegal but there are roads I've ridden on my bike where I know there are no junctions, nothing to pull out, good visibility etc. put that road at 6am on a dead sunday morning and a properly focussed and concentrating driver can do that sort of speed in relative safety.

Likewise 30 mph past a school at 3-4pm on a wet windy, horrible winters night is plain stupid.
