I'd like to have listened to the line of questioning if the lad in the VW had elected to go to court.
Q. Tell me officer did you take the registration number of the speeding car is it went past you at 124mph in the outside lane?
R. Eh, no your worships.
Q. Tell me officer, did you maintain a constant view of this vehicle as it drove away from you at 124mph whilst you reversed you police car on the observation post and then moved out into the carriageway.
R. Eh, no your worships.
Q. Tell me officer, just how long did it take you to go from a standing start at the side of the road to catch up with this car that was travelling at 124mph.
R. Eh, quite a few miles your worships.
Q. Tell me officer, is it right that when you caught up with my client he was driving his silver VW Lupo at 70mph in lane one.
R. Eh, yes that's right.
Q. So tell me officer, how do you intend to show this court that the car you recorded at 124mph was the same car my client was driving.
R. Eh, I can't your worships......
