The motor is capable of traveling at 10 kilometres per hour, slow for the movement of a Pookie between targets, but a good average speed for quality GPR data gathering.
Similarly, the motor, capable of 10 kilometres per hour was perfect for data gathering, but slow for movement between targets.
A Pookie might be five kilometres away from a control point when a problem occurs, and the question is how to get a team leader or medic upfront rapidly to sort out a problem, whether a simple blocked fuel filter or a mine detonation—which potentially requires a rapid response.

 Hefty road taxes take their toll
For the 1,400 kilometre trip between Delhi and Mumbai, the running time for a truck was found to be about 35 hours, at an average speed of 40 kilometres per hour, for a two-lane road with congestion.
This gets reduced to about 23 hours at an average running speed of 60 kilometres per hour if there is no congestion.
So the total saving in the trip time is only about 12 hours, corresponding to savings in operating costs of Rs 864 only or Rs 0.62 per kilometre as against the toll rate of Rs 1.50 per kilometre.

 Road Transport Legislation (Speed Limiters) Amendment Bill - 08/12/2004 - 1R 2R
The responsible person for a vehicle will commit a speed limiter offence when a heavy vehicle, which is required by law to be speed limited to 100 kilometres per hour, travels at a speed in excess of 115 kilometres per hour.
As the law stands, however, the fact that a vehicle is detected travelling at more than 115 kilometres per hour is not sufficient evidence that the speed limiter is not functioning as required and that the responsible person has not met their duty.
The passing of this bill will provide for an offence by the responsible person when a heavy vehicle which is required by law to be speed limited to 100 kilometres per hour travels at a speed in excess of 115 kilometres per hour.

 How Fast Can a Shark Swim?
There exists a dubious record of a small Blue Shark about 2 feet (0.6 metres) in length which was found to swim steadily against a current at 17.7 miles (28.5 kilometres) per hour and was reported to achieve 43 miles (69 kilometres) per hour in short bursts.
Calculations show that for a mako to leap 20 feet (6 metres) into the air, a speed of 24.6 miles (39.6 kilometres) per hour is required - and this for a shark impeded by the drag of a fishing line trailing from its mouth.
Underwater and unimpeded by a fishing line, the Shortfin Mako has been reliably clocked at 31 miles (50 kilometres) per hour, and there is a claim that one individual of this species achieved a burst speed of 46 miles (74 kilometres) per hour.

Currently, average speeds are around 300 kilometres per hour, but, if the tests work out, France's state rail company SNCF hopes to raise that to 360 kilometres per hour.
That speed is well within safety parameters, given that the top tested speed of a TGV stands at 515 kilometres per hour — or quite literally as fast as a speeding bullet.
The top recorded speed in a test of a TGV is 515 kilometres per hour, reached in 1990.
