In my opinion any one travelling at that speed with a perfectly matched car and caravan has no considereation for other road users. It is not an issue of speed, but rather any issue of consideration for others in the event that you have a blow out which could happen with brand new tyres. Secondly what if some other moron decide to cut across your bow forcing you to brake, this may result in a snake.
Once you have had the "pleasure" of attending to people, especially a child, at the scene of an accident, speed becomes a thing of the past. Part of my job at the time involved travelling at speeds well in excess of 100mph from point A to B but in order to do this I had to undergo extensive training and do a written as well as another driving test, more like an advanced advance driving test. No, I was not in the traffic police and neither was I a paramdeic.
However this posting sounds like a proper wind up as a similar post has appeared on other caravan forums which also created a lot of debate. I doubt if any sane person would be foolhardy enough to push a caravan to its limits in order to arrive at a destination a few hours early and then brag about it.
