Volvo B9R multi-axle bus caught doing 130+ on its speedometer


We have spoken enough on the high end luxury buses in India and their capabilities to do high speeds. In fact, we have caught these buses on camera on numerous occasions like :http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
1. Two Volvo B7R buses racing at 125km/h
2. The Mercedes tri-axle bus doing 130km/h

Recently, thanks to our reader Sujith VG, we came across this video taken by a person "Madhuanton" of a Volvo multiaxle bus (we guess its the KPN B9R on this route) on the Madurai to Bangalore route doing crazy speeds on the highway. Look at the way it overtakes other buses! In the end of the video clip, you can clearly see the speedometer needle going past the 120km/h mark and even the 130km/h indicator! Now that's something. Dangerous or sheer ability of a Volvo bus? Feel free to comment....

This is dangerous driving!!! Look at the way the bus overtakes the overloaded LCV and the other truck !! One small movement to the right and this bus would have been a goner for sure !!!

And this guy says he looks forward to such drives !!...He is lucky to be alive .Had the bus crashed somewhere ,it would have been him in the front left who would have been giving company to the driver to the morgue !!

Wish the police see's this

Its understandable Volvo buses are good, reliable but the way of driving in Dangerous!!
We are insisting that city buses should have speed governors. Its better to install the speed controllers on these buses first.
Anyway..how did the driver allow you to take the video of Speedometer??
