lol i hope he gets done for it, 159mph is one hell of a way to test going fast.

I think he should be done for dangerous driving and have his license revoked to see how it feels. if it was one of us doing that we wouldnt even get a chance at court, would be massive ban and considerable fine.

Just goes to show that the old bill dont have std vectras. Thats the perfomance of the VXR, which was only released to the general public recently!! Still trying to work out, if it was the camera on board his own car?

Bet he was gutted he didn't get 160 mph

seriously though, 91 in a 30 - what's the point practising that - don't they give before that?

Random quote from the internet "total stopping time jumps to 10.6 seconds and 533 feet. As a basis of comparison, this is roughly the same distance — actually, a little further — as the same vehicle coming to a complete stop from 90 mph on dry pavement, "

Viney - yes "on board video"

If a Policeman can't flout the law and enjoy a bit of pedal to the floor shenanigans then who can? What is the UK coming to?

Odd how it is not indicative of the actual speed of the vehicle unless he is following you
