do people still believe this is real? come on people, no copper would do 140 mph themselves in a 30mph zone due to risking more lives in the process. In reality a helicopter would be called and the police car would stay well back.
Well done tho Lee, youve got plenty of posts on this :thumbsup:Lol

Lee 07-12-2009 07:18 PM

The helicopter was called ;)

Oh well whoever it is enjoy your stay with the prision service.

Sorry if this is true I hope the verdict is guilty as it's all plain stupid.

Well, if it is true, then the guy was a cock and deserves a custodial sentence and banned from driving/riding/owning a vehicle too, sorry, thats how I see it.

How many of the tut tutters can hold up their hand and say I,ve never been over 100.

DCM 08-12-2009 04:16 PM

oh, I have, but on a motorway, not in a 30 zone, and wouldn't do it again, not much point.

MatJohnson 08-12-2009 04:28 PM

Simple way, if its true, and the helicoper was called, find out what force it is and look at the logs. They have to put the details of all movements online so just look there.

bodgit 08-12-2009 04:34 PM

I,ve been lucky this year the roadside camera I did,nt see till it was too late must have been a dummy and the van I rode past a few months back he must have been asleep.

on the way back from the le mans 24 hour race in june 2007, I did folkestone to cardiff in 2 hrs 10 mins - including one fuel stop (on my VFR).

this was between half one - half three in the morning mind - on dry empty motorways.

that said, there's a big difference between that sort of speed on a wide open road, and 140 mph in a thirty zone (which does seem a little implausable).

at the end of the day, if you can afford a vehicle capable of accellerating to a ton-forty in a thirty zone, you can afford to do trackdays! no excuses.

it'll be prison food for that dude, no doubt about it.

There should be a different speed limit for bikes. Too often a gentle twist of the throttle sends you way over the speed limit.
On a un-named road maybe abroad I have hit 140 with ease and the only thing that stopped me going for top end 155 was my bloody helmet felt like it was trying to tear my head off.

I'm not interested in the crap above.. A fellow Le Mans party goer :)

Time to turn it into something meaningful I.e. a Le Mans 24 thread!

Thanks for your valuable input into this thread anyway Mike, all i asked was for a decent Solicitor, not your opinion or the sentence anyone should get, especially when you don't know the full facts of the case. So in actual fact you have been as much use in this thread as Steven Hawking would be without his magic wheelchair :thumbsup:

bodgit 09-12-2009 11:20 AM

Your mate should be grateful he never ran over a cat doing 140. That would call for the death sentance.

Lee 09-12-2009 11:22 AM

Lol why would anyone care about running over a cat :lol:

losixxx 09-12-2009 11:22 AM

should post such a stupid threat if you didn't want comments left like they had been.....

in all honesty did you think you'd get anything else....idiot deserves everything thats coming to him

Oh well what shame..

No I can't recommend a solicitor. Have a look in the yellow pages.. ?? Don't think many people are in this "stupid" catagory

I do know someone who picked up a 2nd drink driving ban. He got a year's ban. I think it was the case of how deep your wallet is rather than how good your brief is. He's in that stupid catagory too.

I'll tell you what, I'll have a chat with a traffic officer (friend of mine) and we'll recommend someone.. ;)

Anyway I'll unsubscribe to this thread and leave you be..
