Well you wouldn't want to post a non-fiction story like that on the internet, as it might be used as evidence against you.

I'm not so sure if that rule applies to ATOT, where above all, e-penis comes first.

Interesting piece of fiction. What car do you have in this fictional world that lets you push almost 170MPH?

Too bad you didn't wreck and die. It would have been what you deserved, and probably the only way to teach you a lesson.

Running from cops? But why? Yeah, sure there's no evidence that you drove the car (if it's even true) but what if they ask you who the driver was? You'll lie that your car got stolen and later rematerialized next to your house, or what? Also, what if someone turns you in? You posted the whole story here on ATOT. Ofc the whole story could be fake. But still.

There's a possibility that you may be sent to a theoretical court in which you may or may not be asked to prove that a possibly imaginary person other than you was fictionally driving your car.

Your criminal law knowledge is lacking. It's not up to the defendant to prove anything. The burden of proof lies on the prosecutor, who must prove that I was, beyond a shadow of a doubt, driving the car. And that's quite impossible.

Hell, I bought the car second hand as a third car to turn into a street racer. Maybe the previous owner had keys to it and drove it? Besides, in the story, he was never close enough to read a tag.

Absolutely. Even if I crashed into a minivan full of children, I'd be dead, so it would matter else happened. As far as I'm concerned, the world ceases to exist after I die.

Details have been purged and dates changed in this story, which is entirely fictional.

How did we know that?

I know a guy in Texas who does this ALL THE TIME, and has destroyed NUMEROUS suspensions doing so. He's an idiot. The cops all know who he is, because his car is the only one like it in the entire region (rare color) - they just can't prove it because they've never gotten him to stop.

Most of them don't bother to give chase anymore, even.

Dallas cops have changed to a "no chase" policy. They'll only chase in hostage situations and such.

But this story didn't happen in Dallas. I'm envisioning more a suburb north of Dallas, on a major highway.
