Bear in mind that if 2 identical cars are travelling on a motorway, but one is doing 70mph and one is doing 100mph. Both brake hard at the same time with the same force. When the car that was doing 70mph comes to a complete stop, the car that was doing 100mph is still going at 71mph and has travelled much further.

Food for thought.
Sounds like you were on the same speed awareness course as myself. Either that or you were the guy running it.

An Analysis: ;)

Hard braking should be avoided, since it can cause loss of control.

When the car that was doing 70mph comes to a complete stop,
Shouldn't stop on a motorway,

the car that was doing 100mph is still going at 71mph and has travelled much further.
So spends less time on the motorway in which an accident could occur, so safer.

Of course! Everyone's getting so serious about this high speed driver it's as if they were threatened. If they were, what were they doing cycling on the motorway, it's illegal. :)

I could argue that this 192 mph driver was being very considerate, doing it where there are no bicycles. :D
