FamiliarTry403

I feel like it’s more likely that’s kmh otherwise they would be flying past those cars at over twice their speed vs only like 60% faster like in the video


Helpful_Title8302

Fr, at 180 mph your are gonna fucking fly past everything and everyone.


glytxh

I doubt most British roads could even handle 180mph


I_LOVE_PUPPERS

Most British roads can't handle 80mph. Source: disappointed Brit.


glytxh

There’s a few near me that are sketchy even at 30!


I_LOVE_PUPPERS

Man tell me about it. The recent flooding has turned our local roads into Swiss cheese. I regularly see people stopped on the side with blown out tyres from potholes.


glytxh

Friend of mine blew through three tires in a few months last year. He drives a lot to be fair, but that’s still taking the piss a bit.


I_LOVE_PUPPERS

That's rough. Our council are absolutely shit at fixing them though, they blow all their money on ridiculous shit for political points meanwhile we are out there dodging the pit of Sarlacc and waiting three weeks for the bins to get collected.


MuricaF_ckYeah

How do you drive 2.65252859812e+32? Can you teach me?


glytxh

Best bet is to have zero mass and to be a photon. Unfortunately, you’d experience the entire history of the universe in a single instance.


VileRocK

Correct mate you'd hit a pothole within 5 seconds and that'd be the end of you! 🤣


Phantom_0347

Most American roads can’t handle that either. Not safely anyway


KillerHack23

I'm not sure about there, but a lot of cars here are governed to not go past a speed. Had a crapalier that topped out at 113 mph.


glytxh

I hit 90 in a classic Mini once. Bits fell off. 10/10 awesome experience.


Ok-Lab-5151

Plenty of them can be it in a car or on the bike.


BillyLee

What NASCARs go 220. My speedometer only goes up to like one thirty or something. Edit: Nm just check its 180 average yeah. Thats not mph.


UniKqueFox_

And that crash would have happened alot faster.


TwinIronBlood

It's in Ireland. The back registration plates of UK cars are yellow/orange. Irish ones are white. The cars has to circular displays showing the limit is 100kph. Pure muppets


loafingaroundguy

Also the logo that appears bottom left towards the end of the video is in the colours of the Irish flag.


Jake0024

Almost definitely kmh, the top speed of an Audi RS6 for example is 155 mph (electronically limited). I don't recognize this car specifically, but there are only a couple Audis capable of reaching 177 mph. Also yeah like others said, the other cars would have to be moving 120+ mph for these passing speeds to make sense.


Redstone_Army

Agree, seems to be kmh - could be possible tho, i recently tried to see the max speed of my car, which was 225kmh / 144mph Then a rando approached from behind, drove really fucking close and honked, so i move to the side. There is people who should not drive that have a car well capable of going over 150mph


Noperope42069

Also if you pause you can somewhat clearly see the other things displaying Km so it would make sense.


FamiliarTry403

Most modern cars do have the capability of switching between kmh and mph on the dashboard, it’s just the other factors like the speed of the other vehicles and the fact this is a European car on European roads that make it pretty evident what it’s recording the speed with.


Marvinleadshot

Even old cars show mph and kph for driving across Europe.


Michelin123

Yup and it's even more embarrassing.


el_horsto

Yeah, 180kph is comfy cruising speed in an Audi. What happened there? Source: am German


oceanmachine420

That's what I was thinking lol. Probably the driver is inexperienced and/or a hazard suddenly appeared.


DasSchiff3

I think i did around 170 in my driving lessons once (germany) so yeah, fucking brits


devilterr2

The issue is our roads aren't really designed to go above 90mph (144kph). The only roads that are around the motorways, but the speed limit is 70mph (112kph) so doing anything above say 90 is just becoming dangerous since other drivers aren't expecting it


[deleted]

I've hit 160kmh in my truck a couple times (lonely little highways going out camping, nobody around and straight road) and that looks to be about right. No possible way this is mph


VanillaLifestyle

Yeah, it's 110mph


AssassinStoryTeller

109.98 MPH for those of us who don’t use the metric system. Which makes sense. A lot of vehicles are now computer limited to that speed


xtcxx

I agree but theres no kmh in UK. So this ireland maybe, thats EU and the flag is Irish colours right


FamiliarTry403

I see, I didn’t know that or seemed to have forgotten that.


bajungadustin

Pretty sure most cars have both. I'm in the US and I can switch my car to KMPH any time. Not saying they switched theirs just that saying there is no KMPH in the UK doesn't really work. It's just whatever you have it set to really.


FakeAsFakeCanBe

The right hand drive gives it away.


AndrewFrozzen30

I don't use MPH and I don't even know how much would that be, but I know it would be too much myself. Still dangerous at 177 km/h.


EmetalEX

Pretty sure brit cars don't show mph too


Peterd1900

They do The UK uses miles


Gloomy-Evening-6374

I second that. Plus km is used pretty much anywhere outside the U.S. It is clear to me they are driving on the left side of the road so we are outside the U.S.


ssomethinh

driving up the insurance for all of us


Mikesminis

Man I was told that insurance rates would go down once I hit 26. I'm 37 have not had a ticket since I was 18 and my insurance goes up way surpassing inflation every six months.


Phresk1

Dude you have to check for better offers twice a year.


Mikesminis

I do. I get a "gold level" discount for being with my company for so long. It keeps going up, but it keeps being the cheapest.


PM_Me_1_Funny_Thing

Seems like you're missing something and should keep shopping around. I have a totaled car on my report, my wife and I both have full coverage live in an above average theft/accident area, we both have full coverage, and 3 months ago switched and got the cheapest/best insurance we've had in years. In fact, her and I pay less than I paid by myself for liability only about 8 years ago. Your car insurance should not just be getting perpetually higher unless the area you live in is just absolute shit or there's things consistently getting dinged on there. Edit: for context I'm 32. And at the age of 24 after a totaled car followed by a "lapse" because I didn't have a car and wasn't driving paid $450/mo for about 4 months for liability only. That was the cheapest insurance by over $100/mo at the time. A couple years ago we moved to an area that caused our insurance (one full coverage vehicle, one liability) to go up $30/mo just because we switched zip codes to a higher rate of accident area. After a year, got it down $15/mo. Now 1.5 years later have 2 full coverage vehicles for $40/mo less than that with better coverage.


Mikesminis

Well, I'll shop around again next time. I pay about 600 every 6 mos. My vehicle is only worth about 10k. I have the minimum coverage allowed in my state. I don't know. I think it's where we live. My girlfriend has an even better driving record than me, literally never a single traffic ticket, and she pays like 540$.


foxtrot7azv

Husband and I pay just a bit more than 600 every 6 mos for a car with about 20k, and we have comprehensive coverage (windshield replacement, underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage, rental coverage, higher payouts than state min., etc.) through a company that's 'higher tier' than Progressive or Geico. We have at least one accident on our record (totaled our last car, I was at fault). We do have a few discounts, like AAA association, NSC Sage Driving Certificate, etc as well as a discount for combining with our homeowner's insurance, but I don't think that's enough to make up for totaling a car and also being two males in our 30s. We live in a VERY high theft area, and don't park in a garage. Iirc, being married saves on insurance as well, but regardless... For a single male (I assume) driver without any accidents or moving violations on your record and a car worth 10k, you should be able to find a rate better than 600 every 6 mos. I recommend talking to an insurance agent. Many of them don't charge a thing to find you the best insurance for your needs, and when you need to use your insurance or have any questions about coverage, they're there to help you.


banjosandcellos

The married thing does add better rates tho


BrookeBondage

which insurance company? asking for a friend


PM_Me_1_Funny_Thing

Liberty mutual. We had progressive prior. Then when my wife upgraded vehicles, our insurance with them was insane. Almost 300 a month. Fortunately I found Liberty mutual after 2 months of that and now we pay ~$160 a month. Prior to my wife's car upgrade we were with progressive paying $185 a month.


BrookeBondage

Wow thats wild. I have Liberty Mutual as well 😂 i got a "pre approved rate" from progressive in the mail for $89 and was seriously considering switching. Thanks for the warning!


tardigradeA

Twice a year? I thought once I start a policy I’m locked in


PlsDntPMme

I got my policy right before I was 26 I think. Transferred from a 2003 Jeep Liberty to a 2010 for fusion. I didn't have full coverage but still only pay like $400 every six months or something. I don't think it has changed in the past few years price wise.


Mother-Progress-9138

yep, my insurance continues to go up rather than down every 6 months. haven’t had a ticket since i was 16😒


JCWOlson

I'm in the same boat. Cheapest insurance I ever had was when I was 24, and then then two years later rates *tripled* where I live, and then lowered til they were closer to +60%. I'm pretty sure they only tripled them to make the actual rates easier to swallow 32, been driving half my life, not one ticket, no accidents, perfectly clean driving record, but the prices keep going up


NanoWarrior26

Mine went down at 25 and when i got married lol


Simple-Programmer842

insuranve will not pay, if you are driving reckless in Europe.


thatguyoudontlike

Do not unmute


PLTR60

Yep, I think I heard something that's gonna stay with me forever


bit_drastic

that music


PLTR60

🤣


petesapai

Yep, that crap music can really scar.


elcolerico

Nah... I don't feel sorry for idiots who risk their lives for nothing.


ShinyStache

why?


Appropriate_Twist_86

Music is ass


HLSparta

r/killthecameraman If he didn't do that himself that is.


Neurotrace

177 kph = 110 mph


ShottsSeastone

baby speed


Over9000Zeros

20 mph over the average left lane speed in Chicago


Dp_lover_91

No kidding. Back when I lived in Seattle I'd be flying past people if I got up to 70. Since moving to Chicago, if I'm going 75 I'll have a line of cars behind me so close I can see food in the driver's teeth.


BathSaltJello

I've had someone in Chicago pass me by using the sidewalk. The drivers there are insane.


Niaz_S

Damn lol


ShottsSeastone

lmao same here in boston on the way home i literally chuckled


EmetalEX

Fellow americans. It's km/h. Thanks


Hyadeos

Yeah. Kilo per hour doesn't mean shit.


AllReflection

I drive faster than that in my Kia Soul when transiting Wyoming or other rural states 😅


YoureSpecial

110 in a car shaped like a fucking toaster?!?


O2taupe

Nothing to be proud of.


AllReflection

I’m not being prideful just saying this accident is due to idiocy, not exceptionally high speed


krank72

Yeah quite. Poor driving skills.


Sure_Elk_5640

Presuming they survived considering the upload


phumeonce

Phone survived, or rather the data from the phone.


Sandman_LXV

How do you crash on a straight road in very light traffic. Fuckin’ mongs.


TwinIronBlood

Sh1t tyres


EmetalEX

With a relativeley okay speed for this kind of road...

"Be curious, not judgemental." - Walt Whitman


advanttage

Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition


mattrhale

The Spanish inquisition always gave 48 hours notice. Everybody expected them.


depressedblondeguy

If it's where I think it is, they are going downhill after the bridge and we don't see the road after that. At the bottom, it starts to go uphill again and turn right. Suspension may have bottomed out, driver panicked and overturned for the slight right turn?


Zealotstim

I'm not even sure they crashed. The phone was never facing the road at the end of the video. Maybe just screaming and dropping the phone for a viral video.


PLTR60

That's an interesting take. Not a lot to refute that, except the music and screams cutting off all of a sudden.


mxforest

You mean things which are both in control? Turn off the music and close your mouth?


PerroNino

Hate to say it but it didn’t sound like a crash, or look like the camera motion physics of a crash. There’s something that looks like an airbag but no noticeable bang of them deploying.


poopsinshoe

You can see the wind screen get smashed in.


Pack_Possible

Unfortunetly you can hear the tires screech followed by seeing the cracked windshield and grass. Sadly is not fake.


numba1_redditbot

as someone who has diven at a max of like 120+ , that is not 177 mph.


dominantfrog

thats 177kmh...


Imesseduponmyname

Ah, barely a light stroll then.


dablegianguy

Exactly. Middle lane in Germany, for trucks


akrokh

Actually had hard time getting to merge into left lane just yesterday when doing 150 kph because everyone was going way faster. Stuttgart area.


LonelyChannel3819

KPH lol


GUILTICIDE

Not MPH lol


[deleted]

Rest in peace boys. Was it worth it?


challenja

![gif](giphy|qcKnA89YDid5DvIROl)


Additional_Fruit1229

That is def not 177mph


desticon

Someone forgot the rest of the world uses the metric system.


Any-Medicine4099

Oh look endangering other people's life's for fun. Honestly hope the crash killed them, imagine if they went into the back of a family car carrying children... these pure spastic inbreds aren't worth the spunk it took to make them.


SelfInteresting7259

No fr. That and people that drink and drive. Unfortunately too many of them survive but end up killing other people.


MasterMaintenance672

Sounded like Stick Death at the end.


anymat01

If they crashed they deserve it, mf should atleast shoot better so that we can watch them crash, i believe they faking it and just dropped the phone.


m8k

I’d say r/killthecameraman but the driver already tried


EpicLauren

idiots


ConvenientAllotment

Really annoys me when people are hammering it and they start flashing to get you to move.


mattrhale

That annoyed me more than the actual speed. I have been tailgated and flashed by several inconsiderate assholes. I use strict lane discipline when I drive. I'm never in the fast lane if I'm not overtaking someone. If I'm in your way, you did something stupid.


Strider_dnb

I'd want to crash with that music playing.


OnlySquare6926

I’m now convinced it’s the shit rap that is causing all these high speed accidents.


Arkonom_X

All that for 25 likes


purplemoonlite

I need to know what happened, as in casualties, number of passengers, what the car looked like after the fact.


dahbrezel

retarded music? check. too strong car? check. no driving skill? that's a big check.


Lee_Airsoft

Play stupid games win stupid prizes 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️


EWR-RampRat11-29

At least it got rid of that music.


Ns53

Why do they even allow cats to go this fast?


derekghs

I don't. I'm constantly telling my cats to slow down or they'll hurt themselves falling down the stairs or something, can't be having more vet bills.


Ns53

Look here you...xD


Creative_Hold7219

I know this is a joke but for those who are interested: Cars can reach those speeds because they were made to have a long life expectancy (not in this case). And to underwork a powerful engine is better than to overwork a small engine.


daygloviking

It’s not that hard to install a limiter though. I was on a fleet which was hard limited to 58mph, and head office would have known if you pulled the appropriate fuse. So my question, why not have the whole lot limited?


Creative_Hold7219

Like, car lot? At a dealership? Idk probs budget problems and most ppl would find ways to remove them so even more waste of money. Plus the highway goes above 58 and in addition, people travel and when they do they go well above 58. It really depends on where you live and the people in the area.


daygloviking

Not “lot” as in stuff on sale, “lot” as in the whole shebang. And not limited to 58, but case by case so artics and trucks are hard limited to 60, cars to 70 (UK here). Make it the same deal as undeclared modifications, over here if a spot check reveals things that aren’t declared or are positively illegal (NOx kits for example) then there’s a good chance you’re walking home. Hell, I’ve driven cars with sensors on reading the speed limit boards, if you’re in cruise control or limit it changes up and down by itself anyway.


Ravel_Xi

It's not even a straight road wtf


SensingWorms

109 mph? Link? Are “Lads” cool or dumb?


Imesseduponmyname

Sods could've died to some, idk, *not* fucking trash music..

ParadiseCity77

I thought this the speciality of us Saudis crashing my high speeds? Anyway I hope they survived and learned a lesson.


Blacktwiggers

how do you know its in the uk and still assume its mph lmao


Peterd1900

The UK does use miles


Blacktwiggers

every car has kph and mph, and i assume because their speed signs are all in kph it would be smartest to use that


KatTheFat

UK speed signs are in MPH


Blacktwiggers

My whole life has been a lie


mattrhale

Travel is the antidote to ignorance. Get a passport and use it FFS.


mattrhale

The UK is a nightmare for stuff like this. We measure everything in metric, apart from the distance we drive or horse races. We buy our fuel in litres but measure economy with miles per gallon. Milk and beer is still measured in pints, even though everything else is metric.


Peterd1900

The UK uses miles. That is what the UK uses and what UK speedometers will show as default It does not and has never used kilometres Speed limits and distances on roads are required to be in miles  A speed sign in the UK will be in miles You clearly do not know what is used in the UK. 


ScaryEntertainer

Your living privileges have been revoked.


Inside_Ad_7744

Am I condoning this behaviour? Absolutely not. We should never do this. Would I be lying by saying I've never wanted to go this speed? Yes. Yes I would be.


Mean_Friend_3966

Maravilloso


3_high_low

Playing with buttons while doing 177mph. Yikes!


ReliantCG

What is that? Like 45 MPH?


[deleted]

I don’t think it’s in freedom unit


cozy_engineer

I guess they died?


KwatsanGx2

177 kmh = 109 mph


barwhalis

Kill the camera...oh wait, nevermind


Embarrassed-Ask1812

Alexa says it's 284.8 kmh


Kim_Bong_Un420

Km not mph


Flame5402

I’ve done 170mph and it’s much faster


Unhappy-Strawberry-8

No way that’s mph. They would be mist.


do_you_know_de_whey

Uh oh OP doesn’t know about kilometers

r/killthecameraman

Do stupid things, win stupid prizes... I hope their insurance refuses to pay.


shania69

Owners manual..." Do not exceed 176 KPH "


carnage6991

r/killthecameraman


a-hippobear

This is 177 kph which is around 110 mph. Going 177 mph is just a blur (or at least it is on a crotch rocket)


Electronicshad0w

I don’t think that’s an Audi gauge screen.


tanafras

More like 105mph maybe


Chauncey-Billups-

If he was listening to eurobeat he wouldn't have crashed, amateur


uru5z21

If UK laws are simlar to Canada , that guy isn't worries about repairing his car as much as paying for a lawyer because police will charge him with reckless driving at the very least.


Electronic_River8985

Finally and answer to the question, the radio does in fact stop.


Neo_Epoch

Well hello Mr. Walker! Late for a Fund raiser again?


OwnHand1708

That shit box can’t go 140 let alone 170mph lol


woodchoppr

Wouldn’t be able to drive with that kind of crappy music either…


Inevitable-Level-829

Man, the after footage of the accident scene is so fucked up


furgfury

only on instagram reels


SNAKE-EYES2000

Pretty sure it’s kph


alexandru_nite

For those saying it's 177 kph, the car was in 6th at almost 6000 rpm. For any modern Audi, the revs are far too high for only 177 kph, let alone an S/RS.


yenyostolt

Don't think and drive!


krank72

Smashing 180 in a suby legacy often enough on NZ roads. These muppets lol


humanmale-earth

You ever noticed when you see videos like this it's always the same dog shit 'music'


malhurt

To all of you who is playing it down that it “only” 177km/h and not miles. I bet you never crashed at all. This is beyond deadly speed.


DepressionMain

I don't think there is enough room in the UK to go 180mph


mattrhale

I can assure you there is


Jordyspeeltspore

speed limit exist for a reason


Clifton30

Not surprised I see another accident caused by shitty music


RandyNelson

177kph = 110mph


MSotallyTober

If this is in the UK, then it’s not in miles but kilometers. They’re going about 109mph.


Peterd1900

The UK uses miles though


mattrhale

Peterd is correct. UK uses miles, by law.


MSotallyTober

I stand corrected, but they’re driving a car that is meant for 81% of the world, so it’d still be kph with visually how fast they’re going, it definitely wasn’t the speed OP indicated.


mattrhale

I've figured it out. This happened in Ireland. Right hand drive car, British looking roads, but KPH. Definitely Ireland.


edafade

Honestly, 177 kph isn't that fast in Germany. In my in-laws little Peugeot we average somewhere between 160-180. I've personally driven as fast as 235 kph and been in the car of someone going 266 kph (this was actually pretty scary). Maybe it is fast and I'm just desensitized? I feel like 180 is super common on the Autobahn.


jaizeiitrades

Fools


WindAlive1663

That's not 180mph, more kmh A p normal speed for me, I drive that speed a lot, he's being timid with his Audi. But then again it's illegal for him to drive that fast


BeastCheng

How the fuck do you see with all that loud music


BurnDesign

Am I the only one that thinks the centre dash looks like Kitt…
