Possibly but the road is also wide enough to carry two lanes in both
directions, has no obstructions to sight, is very straight, and can be very
isolated at certain times of the day (or night). While driving along it at
the speeds mentioned is opening yourself up for criminal procedings, it is
not per se "dangerous" if all the right criteria are met, the main one being
a total lack of other traffic.
I'll wait and see what hornet's nest I have opened.

Even if you ignore the safety aspect of the road,anyone driving over
a 100mph in a 30 zone has got to be nuts,if only for the fact that if

Danger is not measured by the outcome that occurs. Idiotic drivers are
the ones that assume that because they got away with a certain
manoeuver that it must have been safe and therefore adopt it as
regular practice in the future. Eventually the odds catch up with them
and they find out that they were very very naive indeed.

In general I would agree, but there some places where it's not or where it
is some times.
Steve Firth
It's a fair indication of how unsuitable the road was.
Was anyone killed?
Was anyone injured?
Did the driver collide with the scenery?
Was there any physical damage to the car, to street furniture or
anything else?
I don't know the details, but I suspect that had there been any of the
above that the press would be having a real field day with the news.
