what, his speedo doesn't do a good enough job of it? I'm skeptical of the "story" :p

O I believe he was doing 180, but I've seen other threads long time ago, on other boards that were discussing how the cop who allowed him to do that got the department into alot of trouble from public outcry.

Thankfully, what you think and what is actually the law are two different things.

If they were speeding and hit him from the rear, the accident is their fault. If they had hit him in the side, they would not be at fault for the accident technically, but you can be damn sure they'd have their licenses suspended for speeding inexcess of 100mph. And if you say there's no way to prove that they were speeding once the crash occured, you're a fool.

Now, now, the proper term is SQUID ... both before and after the collision. ;)

I still stand by my statement, they'd be in no trouble with the law whatsoever if they hit a car from behind while speeding in excess of 100mph.

they probably looked in their rearview mirrors and saw some idiot going 180 mph and "freaked out". They have no obligation to "provide less variables' so that some dumbass motorist can go 180 mph.

Given that he started by a friend bike and there was the other on the off ramp I'd bet that they communicated and deliberately found that cop, then the guy radioed back to his friend and told him about the cop, then he just filmed this for fun, already knowing a cop would be there.

it's odd that the video cuts half way through and then he goes back to the beginning again and drives right by the same place... maybe he was checking if the copper was still there?

Your standing by it has no effect on the fact that the statement is as far from right as possible. How old are you anyway? What are you trying to make up for with all your posturing?

Surely you jest. I can't imagine that I'd even have to address that statement as if it was intended to be serious in nature.

Read a bit further. It's very hard to be in trouble with the law when you're dead. ;)

Well I guess in theory he would be. Technically, it would be moot ;)
