As a “petrolhead” this instantly triggered me: most cars won’t redline at 100mph, actually they won’t even break a sweat (at like 2.5krpm, when redline starts at 5-8krpm depending on engine type and model). Redlining is _accelerating_ too fast, not _driving_ (this means you cannot “redline” indefinitely long, only for short bursts, even if you are a racing or overly aggressive driver).
In the manual-driving world, you can easily redline a car even below 100km, by just not switching to a higher gear in time (to get faster accelleration)
Pretty much noone redlines a car in neutral, but reaching the redline with fast acceleration is a thing that even a casual driver might do every now and then (eg. when overtaking)
Well I’ll tell you something my lad. When you’re walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don’t come crying to me!
You can when the car is in neutral (hopefully some rev limiter is in place to prevent you from destroying the engine in a relatively short amount of time).
Edit: OK got it in the article, it's driving a car too fast.
Except your car is your brain and so it's burning yourself out I guess. A little confusing
