Lol, is he the one who just got 3 years in prison in switzerland?
If not, it’s enough to land you three years in prison in switzerland

In moon landing units that’s ~186 miles per hour, which is around three times the speed limit of an average American interstate highway. I would not expect the average passenger car to be able to achieve that speed, but there are sports cars that can. You’re probably looking at an uprange Corvette, some of the higher end Porches, a lot of Ferraris, Lambroghinis etc. Something Jeremy Clarkson would describe in an impressed tone of voice. It is my understanding that a lot of supersport motorcycles are limited to exactly that speed; most liter bikes have no problem powering themselves that fast, the question is maintaining control. If there’s a pothole or some sand or a slight curve, will the rider survive encountering it at 3 miles a minute?
Going that fast in a car, you start to wonder how long the tires are going to hold up. At its top speed, a Bugatti Veyron will actually run out of tires before it runs out of gas.
In New World landing units, it’s ~161 knots. This is very close to the V~NE~ of a Cessna 172 Skyhawk. The Never Exceed speed, top of the red arc. Go faster than that and the airplane is just going to break. It’s the approximate cruise speed of a Beechcraft Bonanza and the higher end of landing speeds for a Boeing 737.

I really don’t know what you’re looking for here. I mean what do you want us to say It’s a speed??
I guess if I can add something meaningful, it’s so fast that no human can ever respond to an unexpected situation or hazard in time and you’re dead. Don’t ever go that speed for any reason.

You can use Fibonacci to approx km/mi
300 km is like 200 mi.
(More like 180)
But still, approx works. 300 kmh is like 200 mph. Closer to 180 mph.

About twice as fast as my car is capable of going, downhill and with a tailwind.

I rode a train going 300km/h, and it felt amazingly slow, compared to going 180km/h on the Autobahn in a car.

Depends on how close you are to the objects around you as you pass them

You die 3x faster than 100km/h if you crash
Gobbel2000@programming.dev 6 days ago
Maybe 3x faster, but because Energy = mass × speed SQUARED, you die 9x harder.

You also risk killing x3 more innocent bystanders.
Don’t play with motor vehicles on public roads or whatever happens is not an accident.

I doubt typical commercials available cars can do that speed, maybe some super expensive stuff? I’ve never be driven a car which could top over 180.

Well it depends. Technically speaking, it’s around twice as fast as standard speed on highway (at least in France, so 130kmh). In terms of feelings, it’s probably not that faster? I never went above 140 or so but from my experience, your brain adapts to the speed, so if you got to 300 not that suddenly it probably does not feel like twice as fast than the usual. In terms of safety, it may be more than twice the danger. I’m no expert, but depending on the vehicle and how many other vehicles there are on the highway, it could be very dangerous.
