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 Lol

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.

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

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.

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

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

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..
