Your thoughts on driving at 159 mph

(1/14) > >>

Paul:
A police constable who reached 159mph on a motorway has
been cleared of speeding and dangerous driving.

It's been in the news for the last couple of days,
If you have missed it then it's here:

I always belived that driving over 100mph was an instant ban. :?

Please don't get me wrong here I have every respect for the
police and the job they do, I'm very interested in your views
about this case.

Wonder if we could get away with it if we said we were
familiarising ourself with the new car.  :-k

driftwood:
there a law unto there own! :twisted:

wonder if they will see it that way if there was an accident! a normal person would be banned and have to retest.

wonder what the braking distance would be?

and were the tyres rated at the speed they were doing, most manufacturers dont fit tyres to the top speed of the vehicle, they go for mid range with economy, or it would cost them far too much!
hmmm...a blow out at that speed :shock:  :shock:

Dave:
They would do me if i was doing 80 not a loan 159 :evil: . Mined you that would be good getting court in tyson doing 159 :D  :D  8)

beast5680:
they shouldnt have banned him providing he was genuinly carrying out an evaluation of the vehicle and he was conducting it at a safer time of the day but would you want to work in a place where your own colleagues dob you in?

LOFTY:
Well car law sucks anyway, That teacher who fired a air pistol at the ground, near some yobs, who have been terroising her, she gets 6 months i believe.

Knock down somebody on a zebra crossing, and you would be lucky to get any penalty points.
 :evil:
