Will a double bowline knot around a lamppost and a slipknot around my neck be enough to complete the act?

I intend to use nylon rope which is 5mm thick and 20m long which allows a good length for acceleration.
My vehicle has turbo so it's pretty rapid.

are these knots sufficient? That's my main concern? Is the rope thick enough?

I saw a movie where the guy did that. Takes courage I'll give you that.

Is 20m enough length to get up to speed? Hopefully there won't be traffic or bystanders.
I will do a test tomorrow and see, hopefully at 30mph it will do the job quickly, mabey a 30m rope instead- I am limited to what b&q has to offer

Even with a turbo you might wanna go the next length up just to be safe. I know someone figured the math out on this on here but not sure where it's at. Check the resources

A thicker rope is ideal.
