Re: Who would buy out Red Bull?
That has always been my reply. It is not speed that is the danger, it is the speed difference. That said, I still have to say that the speed limit is not the Minimum speed you have to drive, it is not even a recommended speed. It is the speed that borders on being too fast. If the limit fits the ro...
