There's a couple of places along the A420 I can imaging doing those sorts of speeds - all of which are dual carriageway. Only really "rural" in the same sense that the M54 in Shropshire is rural. (This is not to say that I condone speeding, just am fed up with the typical knee jerk reaction that will be put out by the likes of Brake).

I don't recall the offence of "driving at 172mph on a rural road", and speeding's not arrestable, so have they gone straight in for the DD charge?
